Not sure what to say?

March 13, 2025 Dad ... it feels like yesterday that you left us, yet it is in fact 13 years since the angels called for you. Knowing that you are not in pain, suffering and free, is the comfort I get to help me through the days and years. Your grandson Eric just turned 16 and he is an amazing young man. He has been on the honor roll the 1st & 2nd quarters so far and it looks like he will make honor roll again for this upcoming 3rd quarter. He is so smart, funny & kind. I know you both...

July 28, 2024 Happy 74th Birthday in heaven dad! We are all together & wish you were here. Not a day goes by without you in our hearts and minds. You are missed and loved so very much. xo Michelle

March 13, 2024 .... It is hard to belive that you are gone ... 12 years ... it truly seems like it was yesterday that you were called to heaven. The days leading up, the day of and shortly after are so very crystal clear in my mind. When today comes, it is always somber, but also so sentimental and nostalgic. I am grateful for all that you and mom did for me and Tina. All the good, happy, belly laughing memories and with happiness, there is always sadness. It was such an absolutely...

Eric, Not a day goes by that I don´t think of you and miss you. I look at your pictures all around the house, and I know you are with me, I feel your presence especially this time of the year. My love for you has grown even strong and I believe you are at peace. You are in my heart and always on my mind. Love you always and forever.

Eric, As I look at the photos in our home, I close my eyes and remember the events and they take me back in time. Bitter, sweet memories. I was supposed to spend the rest of my life with you, but then I realized you spent the rest of your life with me. I smile, because I know you loved me till the day you went away, and I will always love you for the rest of my days till the end of time. You are my everything. Always in my heart and on my mind. Love you, be at peace, Kathleen

Dad ... Where do I begin, yet again at this so very somber time of the year ... you are missed so very much ... which goes without saying. Since last year ... Eric and I have had so many challenges to overcome ... if you were here, you would not even believe it .. Mom, T and I can barely believe it. I thank the good Lord everyday for their support and understanding. Much sickness and emotions took place last year and I know that if you were here with us, you would have made it a little bit...

A decade ... 10 years ... those years, months, days, hours and minutes that that have gone by, not one, have you ever been forgotten. It is on this day particularly that I am always so much more aware and feel so much sadness ... I see mom day in and day out who is so still so hurt & carry´s so much grief with her. I know Tina, Eric and I, keep her going, and her work, friends and other keep her distracted ... for me ... knowing that you are no longer in pain, that is what keeps most of my...

9 years ... I blink my eyes and it seems like yesterday ... you have missed so much ... there was much hurt, pain & many difficult challenges in 2020 ... but you know us Battaglia ladies are strong and we got through it all together ... it wasn't easy but we did. Eric Jr., just turned 12 and he is amazing. He is literally a mini-me. He is so kind, caring, loving and happy. He remembers you well which makes my heart smile. It is my wish each year that I get one more day with you to tell...

8 years .... still feels like yesterday. If you were here you would be completely disgusted and disappointed as to the events that have happened on Christmas 2018. It has been a long year, actually a very, very long ... emotionally and mentally, but I have managed to rise from the dirt that I have been left in and like a seed grows from the dirt it's placed in, I too have grown into a stronger woman and mother ... Eric and I think about you all the time ... Eric has many good memories of...
