George Gambella

Daddy ~
Today is my first Father's Day without you. I think it is probably the first Father's Day we are not together, but yes, we are together
in spirit, I musn't forget.

I don't know how I'm going on without you, without your love and guidance...it has been so hard and sometimes awfully overwhelming. I miss you so much, and it gets harder instead of easier.

On this day, as so many celebrate good times with their Dad's I will spend mine remembering the most wonderful,...

My belated condolences to the Gambella family. I met George several years ago in South Florida. We played golf many times, and George was a great individual. My wife and I moved to North Florida three years ago, and I was looking up George on the internet and learned he passed away. Ann and I pray that God will bless and watch over Dorothy and all of the Gambella family.

It felt like springtime on this February morning
In the courtyard birds were singing your praise
I'm still recalling things you said to make me feel alright
I carried them with me today, Now
As I lay me down to sleep
This I pray
That you will hold me dear
Though I'm far away
I'll whisper your name into the sky
And I will wake up happy....

It's not too near for me
Like a flower I need the rain
Though it's not clear to me
Every season has its...

My dearest Lisa....

How wonderful it was to have men of such noble character in our lives!!!!! And for us to know them as DADDY !!!!! My heart.... breaks with yours... for only adaughter with a such a VERY SPECIAL relationship with her Dad could only know the pain...

I am Virginia''s and John Catalano's daughter. I also have a wonderful Godmother who is Natalie Gambella. Many many years ago, George came to my mother and was just thinking about this business regarding printing,and wanted her advice. She gave it to him and told him that he will be a success far beyond his imagining. As we all know he worked hard and achieved. It was sad that Natalie and George knew each other from high school, and the marriage ended in divorce. They are two great people and...

Lisa,
I never met your dad, but I know you, and what a lovely person you are and from what you have told me I gather he must have been a wonderful father to raise a woman like you. I am so sorry for your loss.

Dear Lisa,
I know what it's like to lose a Father, as I lost my Dad just a few years back. But, they never really leave you. All the memories, the joy, the love you shared, keeps him by your side, always.
My thoughts are with you.
Love always,
Rik
