Not sure what to say?

Hey Boompa. I didn't know anything about an online guestbook when you passed; if I did this wouldn't have been so belated. It was always such a pleasure having you around. I never heard you raise your voice and you were always so kind and full of smiles; just like Grandma Frances. I didn't know you as well as Heidi, Jason, or Karen; but I have nothing but good memories of you. I have alot of people to say hi to when I get up there now; and you will definitely be one of them. You were a great...

Dear Dad,
Happy Birthday big Ed.
I can only imagine the joy and happiness that you share with others in Heaven. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about you. Remembering your gentle heart, your kind words and the love and compassion that you held for everyone. You are truly missed.
We are all told that with grief and saddness ... "it gets better or easier with time." The question is, "How much time?" Cause, my heart hurts everyday like it was yesterday when I...

Getting the news that someone has passed away can be horrible. It brings with it many different emotions, and to be perfectly honest, it complicates your life. Decisions have to be made, travel plans, arrangements, flowers, what are you going to wear, what are you going to say, do you have a breakfast or luncheon???? It just goes on and on. During this time, you are also dealing with your own grief as well as the grief of others. We all know that there is only one way out of this life on...

Some of the memories of dad!

Dear Boompa,
Not a minute goes by that I don't think of you! You were an amazing grandfather and made a HUGE impact on everyones lives around you. You were like a second father figure to my brother and I. Whenever we needed you, you were always there. When we needed someone to talk to, you would be there to listen. I will ALWAYS remember the memories we shared. You taught me so much & made me who I am today. I wish you would have been able to meet my husband! You would be proud that I met...

June 28th 2008...our last visit with him. What a precious memory!

Don, Dad and Heid in our backyard in Las Vegas!

If the story's told, only heaven knows. But his hat seemed to me like an old halo. And although his wings, they were never seen. I thought that he walked on water.

I cherish the times I got to go fishing with my Grandfather. I know where to look for him when I get to heaven, he will be sitting on the banks of the crystal flowing river with pole in hand.

My Dearest Grandfather,
I Loved you with all my heart from the time I could see your big blue eyes Till now. May You rest in peace. Love Your Grandson Jason Andrew Cammilleri. Not a Day will go by that I wont think of you and How great of a person you were. Your My angel and I will try to be as Good of a man you were. I loved My Boompa. I know he loved me back.
