Dear Jean and family, we just heard about Danny last night from Aunt Bunny. We were shocked and saddened. This is a difficult time for all of you, but as we know we do get through it and the days do get better. Peter so enjoyed fishing with him. We will stop and see you the next time we head to Springfield. Love to all, Gail & Peter

Mom,
I can't be there with you right now, but I want you to know that my heart is with you. Dad was all about teaching us the hard lessons in life. He taught us to work hard for what we wanted, to be law biding and respectful.
Perhaps now, he's teaching us about forgiveness and unconditional love. Yeah, I'd like to think that. To love each other just because......
He ruled us with an iron fist, but he taught us right from wrong. I may not have always agreed with his methods, but I have him to thank today for my tenacity, courage and my compassionate heart. (I could have done without the freckles, however) I am an extraordinary woman today, because he was my father. May he finally be at peace.
I pray this family unite and love each other, just because.......
I'll be there soon!
I love you all,
Cheryl and John Gatto
