hi dad, missing you so much.cant believe its been this long. So this is how I imagine heaven, you PJ Elvis and Michael Jackson all hanging out. now that's a party! wish I lived closer to be with the family but they all seem to be doing well. I was thinking the other day and walking down memory lane. I remember you wearing and Elvis mask and playing a blow up guitar at my wedding.you were really getting down! or when you were doing the Crocodile Rock at the clock diner. Remember those huge cans of potato chips that were always at your house? Charlie chips I think. VCRs MTV. how unbelievably proud you were of nicky at her wedding. You were playing the part of father of the bride so well.Man those memories make me smile. I sure hope they make the family smile when they read this too.until we meet again dad I love you.

I am sorry I missed sending you a message over the holidays. Things have been very hectic in my home. I have mold in the kitchen and now my entire kitchen and wood floors have to b replaced. We are working on the back yard and looks like big dirt pile. On a good note, we got a puppy. Her name is Gemma and she is great. You would love her. Kids are back in school and holidays are over. We spent New Years at Don and Linda's and both kids were sick all night. Had a great Christmas at Rays new home. In case no one has told u, Angela is having a baby boy. He will carry on the Candiano name. I didn't read all the messages so maybe you already know. I love u Dad and miss u more and more each day.

Hi dad, I am always a day late and a dollar short. I know you would not mind. Mom is right, It has been 1 1/2 since you left us. It is hard to believe. It seems like yesterday you were here. I started my new position in Tampa and things are a little stressful, but I will get through it. Now I have to learn a new area to drive in. I am sure you know your way around there also. I will be up in the hernando area. The family is doing well. Kids are doing great in school and we are just working. We are starting to fix up the house a little bit and with any luck can sell it soon. Well dad, I love you and miss you very much. I hope that you are listening to your music and relaxing.

Dad, This will be the third time I have tried to write to you without having it deleted for whatever reason the computer decides to do so. I miss you so much. Kids are doing well. They are both in Tae Kwon Doe and doing great. Ashlyn also is still in gymnastics and building self confidence. Conner may start cub scouts soon. He is not a big out doors person so we will see. They are doing well in School. Ashlyn is a patrol. I got the job that I interviewed for. I am not going back to the Tampa office. I just took mom back down to Danny's last weekend. He is doing good. He looks after mom. She is very lonely without you. He is good company for her. Unfortunately, it appears that Ron may be coming to see you and Shelley soon. This crappy disease has taken so many people close to me. However, loosing you has affected my life more than can be imagined. I am trying to find ways to deal with it. We all miss you so much Dad. Well, I am going to go for now.
I miss you sooooo much.
Love you Daughter,

Annette Candiano

September 10, 2014

I love you Dad,
Love Your Daughter

Dad,
The strangest thing happened to me. This lady that we both know apparently is a Medium. She told me that you like the shrine that mom has to remember you. She also told me that you were up there with an animal (clancy, Zorro?). Many other things came out that made me really believe you were there. She told me that you are always looking over us. Dad, I love and miss you so much. Ashlyn has been thinking a lot about you also.
We all love you,
Love Me

Hi Dad,
Ashlyn just turned 10. She is growing up so fast and I cannot slow her down. She misses you very much as we all do. The weather has been beautiful here. I have been listening to a lot of oldies lately thinking of you everyday. I really miss you Dad. Mom is very sad and lonely w/out you but we are trying to be with her as much as possible. She has a lot of support and she will be ok. No-one can ever take your place in her heart. You were/are her everything. We love you so much dad and It has been almost a year and seems like yesterday you were here.
Bye for now Dad.
Love you more each day.
Love your Daughter

Hi Honey, Today makes it 9 months since God has taken you from our lives. Where did the time go? I miss you so much there is a lot of questions that I just can't seem to find the answers for and I wish I did. So much that we should have done and never could find the time for. I hope where ever you are that you are enjoying life as you should and some day we will be together again and enjoy what we never had time for. Miss you lots and you are always in my prayers everyday. God Bless and take care Love Ya Me

Hi Dad,
Yesterday was Elvis's Birthday and I know that you were just singing up a storm. The weather here has been crazy, but it hopefully warming up soon. We all miss you so much Dad. Things just are not the same. Everyday there is something that happens that makes me think about you. They say that the things you don't like the most about someone are the things that you will always remember. That is a true statement. I would give anything to hear you sing a song and mess up all the words or even tell me like it is. I took a lot of things for granite Dad, but you have change my outlook on life. I have learned to not stress out at work and put family first because you never know what could happen. My priorities in life have change and I have you to thank for that. I would still rather you were here.
I love you Dad.
Happy New Year.
Love your Daughter

I hope that wherever you are that you celebrated in your way. I am very lost without you and miss you lots. I am trying to be strong but it is very hard at times. Life goes on though and God left me here for a purpose. The kids miss you lots and I think that their strength is what is keeping me going.May the New Year bring everyone health and happiness and not so much sadness. I know you are watching over us all and seeing the Grandkids growing up more everyday. God Bless You and Happy New Year . You are always in my heart and prayers everyday. Love Ya Me
