Dad,
This poem I wrote for you today.
In memory of you on 10/19/10
Dad's Poem
Two years have gone by
and not a day I didn't cry
I ask why did you have to die
and go way up high in the sky
I wasn't ready to say good-bye
to my Dad who was such a great guy
I know it was your time to fly
way up into the heavenly skies
I will never understand the reason why
God needed you more by his side
You left us all with broken...

Dear Cousin, Betty and children,
This is belated, but, please know that my deepest sympathies go out to you and your family. I learned of Gino's passing while in Endicott to attend my brother John Jr.'s funeral (which we were all shocked about), on October 28, 2008. I used to drive your Aunt Mary Franchini Roma (my Mother) to Albany all the time and we visited all of the Franchini's and the Scisci's families. I always remember Gino being so friendly as well as beautifully talented in his...

Dear Mrs. Franchini & Family,

I am so very sorry to have read about Mr. Franchini's passing. For so many wonderful years I played at your home with Angela and Gina and always felt so welcome and safe. There was always a warm smile and an even warmer meal to share. I will always carry the memories of a loving family with Gino and you at the helm. I know that he is sitting deservedly with our Lord. Warm regards and a warm hug.

In love and friendship,

Christina...

Marino & Family,

Please accept my heartfelt condolences for the loss of your dad. I, too, lost my dad only two days earlier. So, I know how you and your family must feel at this time. You have been a friend & colleague for upwards of 40 years and that friendship will continue no matter how many miles apart we are. I hope all is well under the circumstances and that you will remember the wonderful times you had with your dad.

Daddy,
This is probaly the hardest thing I have ever had do. I am at a lose of words to truly express what is in my heart. I can only try to put it into words. I see a man that has taught me so much, first material things do not come easy, you have to want it and you must work for it. And he did everyday. He was the hardest working man I know. Family. It was so important to him. yes we all had our problems, but in the end he still loved us. I am the mother today because of him. I yell boy...

Mandy and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I know that there are no words that can make any of this better, at this point - time will not heal the pain. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers and if there is anything you need please let me know. I know Papa is now able to watch over everyone now.

Dad, I Love you and will miss you so very much. I am so proud to be your daughe. I will try everyday to be the best person I can be and strive to give my family all the values you have given me. Love Always, Your Daughter Gina

Dear Dad,
Now that you are in heaven has made it easier for me for when it is my time to go. Knowing that you are already there.
Rest in peace now Dad.
Your loving daughter,
Deborah
