Dear Patti, Joel and family,

Know that we are still thinking of you during your family's difficult journey in dealing with grief and sorrow. You honored and cherished Papa, who was so dear to you, by your daily efforts to care for him with respect and dignity. By his side both day and night, he had to have felt at peace with your consistent outpouring of love and devotion. Never thinking twice about it, you just were there to do what needed to get done and oversee all aspects related to his well being.
Memories of his smile, sense of humor, sharp mind and his everlasting love in abundance will comfort and guide you always.

Dear Papa:

You were an inspiration to us all. Your quiet acceptance of all the trials that life brought your way these past several years has shown us the true meaning of living a life devoted to faith and family. Though we will miss your quick wit and your wonderful stories, we take comfort knowing that you have been reunited with Nana, Rick and Jimmy.

Love, Steve, Mary Ann, Michael and Kristen
