Dad, I can't believe it's been 10 years without hearing your beautiful voice. I miss you so much and there is not a day that goes by that you don't cross my mind. I know you are around us all the time. Keep watching over us especially Nicolas and Ryan. Love you forever.

Dad, my world is shattered and I will never be the same. My heart is broken. Don't know how I will ever be without you in my life. You were the best dad a girl could ever hope for. You have taught me so much and I will continue to instill the same morals and beliefs in my two boys. I know you will be my guardian angel now and forever watch over me and my family. Nicolas and Ryan miss their Papa so much. I love you Dad and miss you so very much.
Love Annie

Papa, You mean the world to all of us and you will be deeply missed. Your wisdom and sense of humor will never be forgotten - your voice will be with me forever. You never asked for much, but always gave so much to the ones you loved. I love you with all my heart.

~Your granddaughter, Alicia Papandrea
