Michael F. Aprea

Dear Dad this week was the 80th Anniversary of D-Day. As I watched the events and movies I felt so close you. I did a lot of crying because I miss you so much. Every time I was a young soldier I thought about. I thought about your bravery as a 17 year old. You are an amazing man especially considering all that you went through as a little boy and teenager. You are my hero. You are the heart of our family. I pray to you often to keep watch over your great grandchildren. Sending all my love to...

Dear Dad, I can´t believe that it has been 15 years. I think of you every day. I continue to try to live up to your standards and values. Your love and devotion to our family remains "the beacon on the hill" for me to strive for. You are always in my heart. My prayer is for you and mom to be together and with all of departed members of our family.

It's 14 years since your gone and it still seems like yesterday. I love and miss you so much my heart breaks

I can't believe it'll be 13 years since you're gone. I miss you so much every day there are so many things I wish you could've shared with your family. My sweet, kind loving father.

I miss you more with each passing day. I wish to see your smiling face and feel the gentle touch of your hand against my cheek. One more day - if only it was possible to spend just one more day with you. You are my hero and idol. Watch over my family and me from where you are. Keep watch with your mother and brother until we are all together once again. My heart is broken without you. I love you Pops!

It's been two long years since you were last with us. I miss you each and every day. I think about you when I awake and when I go to sleep. Our family is growing and I know how much you would enjoy being with all of your great grandchildren. We will tell them all about you and the wonderful, devoted father and grandfater you were to all of us. I miss you and love you very much.

Happy Anniversary
Dearest Michael, July 5th is our 61st anniversary. It was to be so special for all of us, our beautiful daughters & their husbands and our 7 grandchildren and their families. We had so much to look forward to especially with our 5 beautiful great-grandchildren. You met the girls but never had the joy of seeing the boys. I know how happy they would have made you. What should have been a joyous time is now the saddest day of my life. Until we meet...

Grandpa-

I have tried many times to put some words on here but each time I stop. There are no words for the love and respect that I have for you and will continue to have for you. A piece of my heart is missing. In ways this still isn't real to me and I when I really think about what has happened I just can't believe that I will never see you again, I will never hear your stories again, I will never as Melissa said feel your hands touch my face as you kiss me. I miss you so much. I...

Dear Grandpa,
There are no words to express the loss and sadness our family is feeling. You were the center of our family and loved dearly by all. There is a missing piece to our family and we shall never be whole again. You will never ever be forgotten as your memory will live on in our pictures, stories and most importantly in our prayers. When I think of you and I think of your smile, your hands as they touch my cheeks to kiss me hello or goodbye and the love you gave and gave to...
