Manuel DaPonte

Dear Aunt Natalie, Cousins Amelia, Manny, Robert and Roberta,

My family and I are so sorry to hear of your loss. Uncle Manuel was the BEST! One of my favorite things about RI was him and Aunt Natalie. Memories that I will treasure. Sorry we could not make it to the services we found out late and also I am pregnant and unable to fly. I miss you all and God bless you all and May the Good Lord Keep you all Safe in the Palm of His Hands.
Love
Melissa, David, Natasha, Jeremy &...

We are saddened to hear about your loss. Our thoughts are with you. Tom and I always enjoyed the time we spent with Uncle Manuel. Sorry we could not attend any of the services but we just found out today that he is gone to a better place. We will cherish all our happy memories of him.

Although no words can truly help ease the pain when you lose someone so dear, may peaceful moments and cherished memories help you through this sad time.

Sorry for your loss. My deepest sympathies and prayers are with you.

I will miss you greatly Grandpa! You will always be with us in our thoughts and most of all the wonderful memories!!

As the only Grandfather I had a chance to know, you are a strong man with a great heart and tenacity for life. Grandpa, you always made everyone laugh and it will not be the same without you. I take solace in knowing that you lived a great life and we were loved by many. I will never forget the sleepovers with fresh bread to dip in our coffee or the larger than life pancakes! I hope you have found peace and know how truly special, loved, and respected you are.
Love, Caroline, Kevin, &...
