Granadpa,
i was just sitting here thinking of you and i remembered that one time at my dance recital when you were video taping the wrong girl the whole time, it brought a smile to my face and reminded me of how much i miss you. I had my dance recital last weekend and i know you would be so proud of me. i know you are proud of me when i would go on stage i knew you were watching me from heaven, but i still wish you could be there in person. Nana told me how it brought tears to her eyes to see how much of a better dancer i have become and how proud she knows you would have been of me. I miss and love you so much and i wish you could still be here with me. I dedicate all the dances i dance to you grandpa? i love you.

Hi Dad,
It's been a while since I wrote to you but you know you are always in my thoughts.
You would love to be here playing with Anthony he is let's just say he's just like you.
Aidan still love trains we went to the angels house to see you and he wanted you to come home to Nana's in our truck he misses you so much I can't belive the things he remembers being so little.
Brianna sleeps with your picture every night.
Anthony sees your picture and says"grampa".
Dad I miss you so much we watch video's of you and the kids all the time.What a pain in the but you were and we miss it so much,but it makes us laugh instead of cry for a little.
I know your with us we can see it in all the grandkids each one has a special trait fo yours.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Hi Dad,
It's been awhile since I wrote but I never stop thinking of you.
Brianna is in her play at school, she made All County Chorus again this year she is becoming a beautiful little lady. She is starting dance again and keeping us all busy.
Aidan is doing well he asks about you every day he wants to play bikes and trains downstairs.
Anthony is a handful he climbs on anything. He is just about to walk its so funny he'll stand then run I don't know if thats a sign of whats to come.
I can just picture your face the joy you would have watching them if you were here,but I know you can see us all. I know you are watching us too> love and miss you so!!
January 12, 2009
Dad,
We had a memorial mass for you today it was beautiful but very hard. It's so hard to accept the fact that you are gone(in no way forgotten) I had Aidan's birthday party yesterday it's very difficult without you at any of the party's. Aidan still does the "Grandpa game" without me adking it seems when I need cheering up he therePlease watch over Brianna she is taking this so hard I can understand how she feels I just can't bear to accept that we won't see you again and it breaks my heart I hope you know I miss and love you so much it is unbearable at times (most of the time) your memories and picture keeps me going and I know how much you loved Tom, Brianna,Aidan and Anthony and I tring to be the best wife and mom but it is so hard at times I just want to cry and no one knows i think they just think that things are ok, but there not!
Mom ahs kept us all togethor that we need to make you proud of us and that you are still here but in a different way. I just want one more hug,kiss and a morning call. I still cant get the picture of you at the hospital out of my head I wanted you to just get up, I will never walk into Mercy again.
I just cant belive that Thursday you picked us up and Friday you were gone its like a bad dream I cant wake up from I still praying that it is a dream and this will soon be over.
It's been a tough day!!Miss you!!

Dear Grampa,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
I REALLY,REALLY,REALLY,REALLY miss you. Sometimes its hard for me to get up in the morning because i know as the day goes on it will just get harder and harder without you here. I still sleep with your pictures next to me almost every night. At night its always really hard for me to fall asleep at night because I think of you a lot one time i was still up when mom got home from work which she gets out at midnight thats how much i miss you. another reason i can't fall asleep at night is because i always worry about nana and wonder if shes lonley and i feel really bad for her, but the last reason is because i know in the morning when i wake up it will be just another hard day with out you here with me and everyone else. it was also a really hard Christmas for me even though i didn;t really show it it was just different without you there taking the videos of all of us and how we would all eat dinner together and it just felt really weird it felt like a peice was missing to the whole thing. I REALLY,REALLY,REALLY wish you were here with us at this time with all the birthdays and holidays coming up. I think of you everyday. I wish their was just someway to talk to you like actually talk to you and see you again. I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU SOOOOOOOO MUCH
YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN
And me and mom will ALWAYS show aidan and anthony pictures of you and we will tell them everything there is to know about you. you were the GREATEST grampa I ever had and you will ALWAYS have a special place in my heart just for you
I MISS AND LOVE YOU SOOOOOO MUCH
I LOVE YOU
LOVE YOUR GRANDAUGHTER,

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

To my Dad-My Teacher;
It's been a month you've been gone to the day. You're missed very much. I know the pain you felt when Uncle Gino was taken from us. Now I feel it. I know what a good man you were to all. I will miss our talks we had.. The Sundays you came to Berg Rd. looking for a beer to have with me. If there were none, you'd tease me that me and Gary drank um all. I only wish you were by my side to see that nitemare end Dad. I'll always remember the times you were there to help me with the Concrete. I hope you know I'll do my best to take care of mom, the house, my Family and yes-your car! That would go down the Rd. with only a forehead and two eyes behind the wheel.
Love and miss you forever your proud son Francis.
PS Take it easy on the thunderstorms, you uncle Gino,Frank,Tony & Louie must have all of opened your bottles of BV!

I really miss how usally ever Saturday you would come over in the morning. I sleep with your picture next to me almost every night. Imiss you a lot it feels wierd with you not here. Me and mom are making a scrapbook with pictures of you,me,Aidan,and Anthony. Mom shows Aidan pictures of you everyday and we do the grandpa game. One night I had a dream and you were in it it made me feel like you were still here and it made me feel like you were watching over me that night.

Our father left us suddenly and of course too soon but, dad always took good care of us and our mom. When we would ask our dad what he wanted for christmas or his birthday he would always say "I just want you kids to get along". That is what was important to him, "family", and of course playing with his grandchildren. We all have a special memory of our own and most of them involve teasing, poking, and pinching. That was our father and that is why our mom fell in love with him. He loved to joke around. His work with us was done. He would have never left us if he did not think we would be ok. He is with uncle Gino that he missed with all his heart. Dad, you were a great husband, provider, father, and grandfather. You will be missed greatly. Keep us all strong dad!
WE LOVE YOU

Dear Pasquale;
It is so hard to believe the time that has past. We were all together not long ago, I sat watching you pour water on one of your grandb abies head! The joy it brought to you. Then Marissa running clear across the Patio onto your lap to give you you a big kiss and hug the love that filled your faces was priceless. I will continue to go to Berg Rd. and pick the Pears the way we did, instead of climing the trees and throwing them down to you, now I'll share that memorie with Marissa. Frank is doing a good job with your garden. I know your proud of your Children of the way they are taking care of your Loving Anna. You'll be Cherised Enternally.

To anyone who is signing my Dad's guest book please let people know it will be open till 8/12 I would like to get as many people to write in it as possible so I can print it for my mom.If you have any story or just to let us know you are still thinking of us and Pasquale I know would make my Mom's day a little brighter.
I can't begin to express the loss we
have all felt without our Dad.
I know I speak for Frank and Maria when I say he loved everyone and
would do anything for his family and friends. He didn't say a lot but you always knew the love he had in his
heart for eveyone he came in contact with.He never knew when to stop poking or pinching and now we miss that the most. Thank you to everyone that thought of us in this most painful time in our lives!
