Dear Dad,
It is very hard to put into words how much I miss you. What a father in law you are!!
Unfortunately, I only had 3 short years to have you in my life. But!! in those 3 years, you have taught me so much about being a man,father,husband, and son in law. I am so greatful for all you have done for nanette and I, and especially for your "little angel" Giada. Poppie, she misses you so much!!
Trust me when I tell you, she will NEVER EVER forget you. She loved when you sang those, sort of, Frank Sinatra songs. It put her at such ease. Just you walking thru the front door, made her go wild. I know your in heaven having a great time. I also know you are watching over the family and making sure we always, "rise to every occasion"!!! I can not wait to see you again.
"Keep on Smilying"
We Love You Poppie

Dad, you will always be my role model. When I was little, I knew I could never do wrong in your eyes. The lessons you taught me will forever stay in my heart and mind. I always wanted to make you proud. Your life was always centered around your girls(mom, Janee, and me). You were the happiest when we were all together. Dad, I want you to know how honored I am to be your daughter. You are one in a million! A true gem! I don't know how to go on without you. You are our back bone. I pray that you are in heaven with God and all the angels. May you continue to protect your family. I love you so very much. My heart is broken. You are the greatest father and Popie! Loving you always, your daughter(Nanette) & angel(Giada). xoxo

Dear Aunt Judi, Nanette and Janee:
Whenever the Alonzo's roll into town it is always a celebration, and when I think of you guys I see your beautiful smiles that always light up the room, and Uncle Nick has always led the charge! He was the ultimate optimist in my eyes, always smiling and believing that the next day would bring great joy to all. Uncle Nick will be missed, but never forgotten!

Dear Aunt Judi, Nanette and Janee,
I don't think we can ever remember a time when we didn't see a smile on Uncle Nicky's face. He was so alive and genuine. When hard times hit, he never felt sorry for himself, just kept his head up high and did what he had to do. But most of all, he made us laugh. We looked forward to when he came into town which assured us that the holidays would be especially fun. He raised two wonderful daughters who he thought the world of and will miss his two new granddaughters who he adored. Hopefully, he is at peace knowing that his family will be fine. Uncle Nick was one of a kind, a true man. He will be greatly missed. Uncle Nick...we love you!

Nanette and Janee,
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this very difficult time. I know your heartache. I also know that you will get through this together, your dad taught you the importance of love and family and that is where you will find your strength in the days ahead. Feel his love and strength, he is still with you... just in a different way now. Help your mom. I was blessed to have known your dad. He always had a smile and a hug for me.

I will miss Mr.A very much.There are'nt enough words in our vocabulary to describe him but there is one word in his that did not exist and that is the word "no".He would do anything for anyone especially family who always came first and if you were lucky enough to be his friend then you also would be treated like family too.I am so very proud that my wife has molded into her father's person with all of the passion,strength and desire to live life to it's fullest as did her sister Nanette and Mrs.A. We all will carry Mr.A's print on us and I especially will follow in his footsteps for the rest of my life and when my time comes to leave this life I pray that I will be half the father and half the husband that he was to his family.
