Anthony Merlo

We were sad to learn about Uncle Tony's passing. We remember him most for his easy-going ways. We enjoyed hearing him talk about his great golf games. We often shared his achievements in this area with our friends. Our thoughts and prayers are with him & with you, too, Claudia, Anthony, & Lucien, as well as your families.

I will greatly miss Uncle Tony, my second father whom was always there for my brother and I when my father was not around. Even though I will miss him I know he is with his lovely wife, Aunt Katie and all his brothers and sister in heaven. Also, I know he is all healed from his head to his toes as I remembered him as a kid. And I will see him again someday.

I used to love Uncle Tony's wonderful sense of humor and great golf stories and disappointments at the race track. His wit will put a smile on God's face as he golfs with the angels and tends to God's beautiful horses before they take off down the track. God love you Uncle Tony.

The angels await with wings spread wide, the warmth and love pure profusely as you arrive. The gates of heaven open wide, they exclaim, "you have arrived!"

I shall hold you in my heart forever, while knowing that you still remain by my side.

Your loving granddaughter

The angels have spread their wings and with much love and warmth they greet you, as you entered the doors of heaven. You will be missed dearly Pops!

In my heart you will remain,
Love Renee'

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome...

My prayers and thoughts are with you, may they take you to Heaven's gates to Katie.
I'll always remember the wonderful grandfather you were to your granchildren and how you adored your great~grandchildren. I can still picture you holding Renee in the crook of your arm...and then it was her turn. You will always have a special place in my heart. Rest in Peace. Alanna
