Mrs. Taskas and the Taskas Family,

I want to say how sorry I am for the loss of your loving husband, father and grandfather.

You know how great a man is, by the love of his children and grandchildred. Well, if this is true..he was truly a great man. To hear his children and grandchildren speak of him with such pride and love is incredible.
I know you will all feel the loss, but please remember he is in a better place, free of pain.
I am thinking of all of you at this very difficult time.

He is gone but will always be in your heart.

love and thinking of you,
Denise

God chose an angel to bring to heaven, I love him so dearly, and I am proud to call him my dad, to see him leave us so soon makes me terribly sad. My heart will ache until the day we meet again, at the pearly gates in heaven my father, my friend. Until then I have endless memories that will keep my heart warm, I will remember him each and every day as I sorrowfully mourn, I love you dad and I will never forget you. Love your daughter Zoi xoxo

Dear Family:

Bog da go prosti, Johnny. Vije da ste zdravi i zhivi.

It's not how long we live but how we love and are loved in our lives. I will always remember Johnny for his wonderful hearty laugh and for the love and devotion he and Sika shared for each other and for their children. He was a warm soul with a smile for everyone and with a story to share.

We feel such sadness to have him leave us but we should find comfort in the joyous welcome Johnny will receive from his loved ones who passed before him.

Our sincere condolences during this difficult time.

Brigitte and David Axelrad (Lena and Angelo's sister/sister-in-law)

I will never forget my Dedo, he was such a strong and proud man who would do anything for his grandchildren... I always told him he could plan my wedding and it breaks my heart that he wont even be there when it does happen.. There will always be a special place in my heart for him.. I love you so much Dedo<3
