During your journey on your final flight home.
White wings will carry you and you will be flown.
To the pearly gates of Heaven, where they will usher you in.
To the feet of your Lord, your Saviour, and your friend.
He will hold you in his arms and the angels will sing.
As another one of His children is delivered by white wings.
RIP our good friend. Nikki and Fred Sano

To Johnny Family,
Although I did not know him very long; I know Johnny was a kind soul and a good hearted man! Oh, the stories I have heard of the fun the guys had over the years. May Johnny continue planning his air guitar from the heavens above for all his friends to here and remember the good time they had!

My Dear brother Johnny "The Duke" you were the greatest brother with a heart of gold, you protected me through my whole life and I thank you for that. I kept my promise and stayed with you, so you weren't alone. You had such a laughter about you and your voice was awesome, singing to Kimmy n I when you came home on leave, singing Elvira at my 40th birthday party. The one and only time I was at the Empire Plaza to watch the fireworks,you took me, and your last 4th of July, you were home in the country with me and I took you to see them, I will treasure that for the rest of my life. I miss you so much, my heart is broken beyond repair, but I know you are at peace, you are with our sister Kimmy, please continue to watch over your baby sissy Pammy, I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART, you are my guardian angle, fly with birds until we are reunited again. Your Baby Sissy Pammy
