Charles Lunetta

Hi Charles,

I can’t believe a year is gone since you went away. I have been visiting with Ro for 4 weeks now and I sit in the kitchen and your picture with Ro stares at me. I am having a nice time, being with Ro. Sitting at the table writing this and wishing you would walk in the door. Ro and Tony which is Antny and I had just come home from church. We are going over to Sue’s for cake to celebrate Ro’s birthday. I know you will be there with us. I will never forget you Charles....

Dad,
I can't believe it's been over a year since you are gone! I am so grateful that your last few weeks with us were so happy. I thank God every day. I just wish I had thought to ask you to dance with me at Doni's wedding. It never occured to me since for so long your hips were so bad that you couldn't dance.

Last night I had my first dream about you. It was wonderful and I was so happy... then I woke up and realized it was just a dream.

Like most men your son-in-law...

My dear husband, It’s Mother’s day and I just got home from church. I prayed for you of course and told my Mother to take care of you and make your favorite (artichokes. ) You insisted that Mom only made artichokes when you told her how much you liked them. I told you she made artichokes before you came into the family but I have to admit that she made them more often, just for you.

The family will be over this afternoon, Joyce and Harold will be down Tuesday, Harold said he...

Dear Rosemarie and Family,

After listening to all the stories about Charles I can only feel sad that Charles and my Sam did not live to know each other, what a great team they would have made. I think people would walk by our condo just to see if they would be greated by the two of them and walk away with a smile.
Keep those wonderful memories of your Dear One. I am sure he is looking down at all of you and wants to see you all smiling.

Well Charlie, it's taken me a year to write in your guest book. I always thought of you as the older brother I never had. When we were on the Norway I couldn't get over how you walked faster than me. When we were eating breakfast we would talk about what we were going to eat for lunch and dinner, Patty & Ro would laugh at us. When we got back from the cruise we went to Publix's and I got on the scale and told you I lost three pounds, you said "NO Way" !!!

When Patty & I found...

Oh how I miss my favorite cab driver. The only one who would never take money from me . I find myself frequently taking cabs just to remember the good times. What can I say pop. I will never be fully happy again. You hold a big place in my heart. I didn't just lose a grandfather. I lost a father , a friend, and the only man who will probably understand the way I work. There was never anything that I did that you doubted or got disappointed in. I truely lost more than I can handle. Nani has...

Dear Mrs. Lunetta, Sue, kids and the rest of your family,
I have tried to write in this book for a very long time but every time I start I get so wrapped up in reading everyone's entries that I cry, laugh, cry some more and then close the windows and say maybe tomorrow. I would have loved to have met Mr. Lunetta. Like everyone before me has said his sense of humor was the "BEST" Sue and I have very similar senses of humor and there is nothing that we like better than a good laugh. Even...

I never had the privilege of meeting "Charlie" but from the stories told and the love shown by his family, I feel I missed out knowing a great man. May his love and memories live on for eternity and comfort his family.
