Hi Uncle Kenny, Just thinking about you today and realized how mcuh I miss you. Thanksgiving is coming up and it is just not going to be the same, it is so unfair how small our family has become over the past 6 eyars and I am forever missing all of you. I love you and not a day goes by that myself or Aiden does not think about you. I love you always!!

Dad, I miss you so much and think of you everyday! I know you know that! It's amazing how your voice and advice is ever present. I love you!

August 4, 2011

Uncle Kenny, Happy Birthday! Whenever I wake up on August 4th my first thought was always calling you to wish you a happy birthday. Today when I woke up I realized I couldn't do that. Not a day goes by that I do not think of you. I miss you so much and it just seems so unreal that you are gone. I love you so much and so does Aiden.

Love Always,
Diana Marie

To the Canale family, my heartfelt sympathies to all. To my dear friend Kenny, It was an honor to know a man like you. Over the past 16 years I've known you, you were a true friend.
