Daddy,
Today is one year since God took you from us. Who would have thought that the year would go by so fast. I never believed that I could get through the past year without having you here with us. Everyday is a struggle for me, because I can't call you to talk or ask if you are coming over to visit and see the kids. All our lives have been changed since you have gone, but I think my life is emptier and lonelier without you in it. No one understands how much I miss you and how much it hurts everyday for me to know that I won't hear your voice or see you anymore. The year has not been easy and I find it hurts more now, because I am afraid I will forget you or you will forget me. I miss you so much, Daddy that sometimes I can't believe it is real that you are not here. I try to be strong, because I know that you would be yellng at me and tell me to get over it, but losing you was the hardest thing I ever had to go through in my life. I know that someday we will be together again, but until then, I will always miss you and love you till the ends of the earth. I love you, Daddy.
Love forever,
Danette

Dad,
It was one year ago today.....
You bid no one farewell or never said goodbye.
You were gone before we knew it, and only God knows why.
We knew little that morning, that God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly; In death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn't go alone; for part of us went with you the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide, and though we cannot see you, you're always at our side.
Our famiy chain is broken and nothing seems the same, but as we are called one by one, our chain will link again.
I can't believe it has been one year since you've been gone. Didn't know how we would get through a day, a week, a month, yet here we are and it is your strength that got us through each day. Miss you everyday ~ you will be forever in our hearts.
Love,
Karen

Dad,
Where has time gone? Eleven months today since you passed away, but it feels like you are still here with me. I still look for the daily phone call from you, just to find out what is going on with the kids and how my day is going. You don't know how much I miss that!! I think of you every day and want to tell you so many things that I didn't get a chance to tell you. My heart hurts and the pain never goes away. People say that it gets easier with time, but I don't think I will ever get over losing the one person I could always count on in my life - you, Daddy. I go about every day like I am supposed to, but deep down I am so sad and sometimes I get mad because you left. All I have are memories, but at times, remembering is just as hard for me. A bright spot in my life is now dark and the light can never be reignited until I see you again. I miss you so much!!!!
Love,
Danette

Dad,
Today is 10 months since you left us heartbroken and sad. The days go on and time passes quickly, but the pain still lingers and everyday is another day we survive without you in it. It feels like I am living in another world, sometimes. I think about what you and our family were going through this time last summer and wish I could have spent more time with you. If only we knew then what would happen. I go on everyday knowing that you are not in pain anymore. My grief and pain is constant in my heart, but I know that I have to go on because you would want me to. I have my family to light up my days and my children are my one constant, because they love to talk about Pop-Pop and the things he used to do with them. See, Daddy, we will never forget.
Love you and missing you,
Danette

Dad, Though you cannot always see the bird singing, if you listen with your heart, you can always hear his song.
I finally got around to reading Sunday's paper today (Thursday - the ninth month anniversary of your passing), and in Lisa Scottoline's article she went to Italy for her birthday to visit her grandparent's hometown. The ironic thing about this article was that she was planning on going with her father but he died from cancer before she got to travel there with him. I think about how we always talked about going to Italy together to visit where your parents were from and now I'll have go without you, someday. How I wish we had done it. A day does not go by that I don't think of you and miss you, Daddy.
Love,
Danette

Daddy, It is eight months today that we had to say goodbye to you. Where has the time gone? It seems like only yesterday that we were talking on the phone about the Phillies and all the everyday things we would just chat about every time you called me. No one knows how much I miss those calls now. I still expect the phone to ring about 10:15 a.m., and hear your voice on the other end. Or hear a knock at my door and see you there holding a box of Dunkin Donuts and a bag that Mommy had filled of "stuff" for the kids for you to bring the next time you were coming over to visit. Life is so much different now. I never knew how much I looked forward to your calls, until now, since I don't get them anymore. Just know that every minute of every day you are missed deeply but loved even more. I will always remember.
Love,
Danette

Daddy,
Happy Father's Day! How I wish I could have said these three words to you in person today, but God had other plans for us this year. I was remembering throughout the day today all the past Father's Days we had with you, especially last year when you went to the Olive Garden with me, John, Justin and Angela. I wish I knew then that that Father's Day would be the very last one I would get to celebrate with you in person. No one knows how glad and special I feel knowing that I got to spend it with you. I went to Mass alone and thought of you and what it would have been like if you were here today. I'm sure we would have went out to eat and I am sure it would have been Italian. I dreaded getting to this day and how I would feel, but knowing that I had the BEST Father a girl could have made it a teeny bit easier (but I know it will never by easy for me). I want you to know how much I missed you today and always remember how much I love you. Not just on Father's Day, but every day of my life. Missing you.
Love you,
Danette

Daddy,
Today marks the 7th month that you were taken from us. Every day I wake up and hope that this has all been a dream, but then when I don't get my daily phone call that you always gave me, I am painfully reminded of the sorrow, pain and grief that is in my heart and soul. Ordinary days have come and gone, a family tragedy occurred and happy events have passed, but we have survived it all. My greatest sadness is that you were not here to see Angela for her First Communion. She was a princess - your sweetheart. You also missed her 8th birthday - I know you would have been here with Dunkin Donuts like every year. I go about my days with a smile on my face for Justin and Angela, but sadness is still the most that I feel when I think of you. I miss you so and pray that you know how much my life is different without you in it. I miss you and love you, Daddy.
Love,
Danette

Dad,
You now have a special angel with you up in heaven - Michael - loving son, first grandson, wonderful nephew and coolest cousin. He was taken from us too soon, but only God knows why. Although we are grieving and our hearts ache, we find comfort in the fact that he is with you and enjoying some time with Pop-Pop, just like he did when he was little. Take care of him and may the angels carry him on their wings. We all miss and love you both, immensely.
Lovingly,
Danette

Mike, I just learned of your fathers passing and wanted to offer my condolences to you and your family. Your dad was always kind to me and took the time to show he was interested in me. I remember about 20 years ago I walked into Dunphys showroom and from across the room he started screaming my name, I wasn't surprised that he remembered me, he promptly informed me of the familys status and then tried to sell me a car. He was a true gentleman.

To Marie and all the family: Roe and I wnat to express our deepest sympathy to all of you. He will be missed but for now he is in a better place then we. Can you imagine the conversations going on between him and pop?
As it is said," We will all meet in a better place at the end."
Our prayers are with Al and all of you.

I just wanted to share the memories I have of "Big Al". He sold cars "cheap". Laughing and joking with him while waiting for Marie(who was never ready), him coming home from company Christmas parties. Putting up the christmas tree lights outside and the trains. Driving us to school up Mascher Street so I could see my "Michael". Here he comes Ruthy, smile pretty!! He had a stool so I could get in the Bronco. Mr. & Mrs. dancing at my wedding. Football pools. But most of all how he made me feel like I was the most important person in the room no matter how many people were there. I will miss him. Ruthy

+ Dear Marie and Family.....Al's journey has ended, the suffering is over...that's what we prayed for, but it always comes too soon. I will always remember my phone conversations with "Bep"...we would solve all the problems of the world in half-an-hour!
I asked God to give Al a special place in Heaven to open a special Used Car Lot, put his beach chair outside the office door, light a cigar, and sit back to listen to Sinatra or Sergio Franci...now that would be Heaven! May he rest in the arms of Jesus and Mary....until we all meet again! Much love, PATSY and the Family
