I spent the whole day thinking about all the things you taught me growing up; like keeping God in the forefront always. Your special prayer: Jesus Jesus Jesus!!! and like dancing and singing and always being kind and loving. Always keeping our family close. I can't believe that you would be 81 years young!! And I also can't believe that I havent touched your wonderful face in 9 years. I miss you so much and I love you so much more. And I thank my God for giving me such a wonderful and loving father. Be happy daddy.. with much love always in my heart. Your daughter

Hi Dad, I just cant believe that it has been 9 years! Where has the time gone? It sometimes feels like you just left... I miss you so much and wish I could just kiss your face one more time, dance with you one more time or play Casino with you one more time. I love you so much daddy. You are always in my heart and in my thoughts. I know that where you are you are happy and enjoying your Jesus!! For that one reason, I would never ask to have you back with us, but I do miss you so very much. I love you...

Please intercede for me to Our Lord, to help me stay on course and to find the ways to help me get through my own difficult days. I love you so much and miss you terribly.

Hi Dad,
Just sitting here and thinking about you. I was cleaning off my fridge door and rearranging all the pictures..there are so many of you..it brings me a smile each time I walk by..or open the fridge door...I guess I am just missing you a lot to day... more than others. Sometimes I just want to be able to reach out, touch your beautiful smiling face... and feel one of your wonderful hugs and kisses again.. Someday.
I always feel better after I write to you. Please give Roy a huge hug for me.. and tell him that there isnt a day that goes by that he isnt in my thoughts at some point. He knows I miss him terribly...I felt his hug the other night...tell him for me. I love you daddy... miss you...

Dear Uncle Joe, You had the gift of always being kind to others, and that's why you're missed so much. We could always count on you for a warm smile and greeting. The old saying, "Some people don't have a mean bone in their body" describes you perfectly, and that means a lot to children and adults, alike. You are loved and missed, and you are treasured. I love you, Uncle Joe! Thank you for always being good to me. Love, Marilyn

Hi Daddy,
I just wanted to tell you that I miss and love you sooooo very much. Thank you for coming to me in my dreams the other night.. that was the first time since you left us. Your smile was the same....and it warmed my heart. Give Roy and Phillip a huge hug for me...and all my aunts, uncles, grammas and grampas and cousins. Tell Aunt Connie..I miss her so much. Well, I am sure you are probably having a blast with all your friends and family...I love you papa... you are always in my heart.

Hi Daddy, HAPPY THANKSGIVING I know that you are with Our Lord and your mom and dad and brothers and sisters... and all of the rest of our family. What a table you must be sitting at!!! I surprised Mom and Carmen by coming into Buffalo for Thanksgiving. I wish I had a picture of mom's face when she saw me. I love you so much my angel. I miss you so much too. Family is such an important part of our lives and I pray that we always always love each other the way you taught us too. "Play nice Dont fight" is such a beautiful reminder of who you are Dad.. and how much you loved each of us, and how you tried to keep us all together. No matter what.. I am so thankful to Our Lord for blessing me with such a beautiful and lovable father. I am so lucky to have you. Well my sweet angel, please give everyone hugs and kisses and all my love.

Hi again Papa! I was just reading everyone's notes to you and it's so funny how we all feel like we were #1. What an amazing gift you have given us all. Can you tell my dad that I finally made CRHP and it has changed my life. I know how happy he would be to know that (he probably already knows but just in case). I miss you more than words can say. If I close my eyes, I see your face so clearly and it makes me smile. I love you. Your #1 granddaughter--Theresa!!!

Good Morning Daddy,
Kedeech? Thinking about you as usual, and smiling, cause when you come to mind, it always puts a smile on my face and warms my heart.Thank you for being such a strong person in my life, for teaching me love and forgivness. For showing me that to "play nice and don't fight" is a much better way to go through life. There is so much violence and hatred in this crazy world we live in. I miss your hugs and encouraging words, no matter what situation I may have found myself in, you were always there to be a support. I've gone through some tough stuff this past month, but somehow I knew it would be ok, even though I was scared, I knew that you and Roy along with Jesus were holding me close. Thank you for that beautiful love daddy....even today.
Kisses to you my sweet angel and I know you'll pass them on to the rest of my loved ones with you. Talk to you soon..
Your # uno daughter

Oh...and Papa, can you say Hi to Meatball for me too...I miss him too!! ;O}

Hi Dad,
I can't help to think how much you would enjoy this day in Florida.. I can see you at the pool now.. like the time you and mom were visiting me in Fl and you went to the pool and got "tanned" .. you looked like a zebra..you had stripes across your stomach cause you didn't lay flat on the lounger.. you were watching the kids in the pool... how we laughed about that. I miss your beautiful face and your wonderful hugs. I have to keep thinking about the funny times we had cause it hurts too much to just "miss you".. so when I start "hurting" I think about something funny that you said or did.. and I make it thru another day. You are still so loved by so many daddy. Please hug Roy and Aunt Connie, Aunt Mae, Aunt Jay, Uncle John and Uncle Sam,Aunt Millie, Ma & Pa and Gramma Wark and Grampa Guenther, Karen, Lucille and Lydia, Art, and my sweet angel Phillip. I love you daddy with all my heart and soul. Talk to you again soon. Daughter Mary Ann

Dad, you would of been 80 years young. I miss you so much. I miss our family being together. It seems since you've been gone our family don't get together as much anymore. You were the glue that held our family together. Granted we are all busy with our families, I just miss all of us together, having dinner, etc. I often look at video's of you and listen to your voice, I miss it,and I miss you. I love you.

And I smile when I just sit and remember all the fun times .. like dancing and playing cards..(I DID WIN MYSELF TOO!You didnt LET me win!!!) Did you? Yeah you probably did...that was your way...Please catch the kisses I am sending your way.. and send some back to me daddy. I love and miss you very much.
With all my love, your #1 daughter, Mary Ann

Good Morning Dad
Just thinking about you as usual. It is so nice to be able to write to you like this.. I think it is a healing .. when this book goes away at the end of this month I will continue to write to you.. I love you and miss you so much. I cant wait to play casino with you again..to dance with you again, and to laugh and joke with you again. The one thing that I remember the most is what you taught all of us--when we dont know which way to go or what to do... just keep saying "Jesus Jesus Jesus"..that is so powerful daddy. Thank you for your love to all of us. Thank you for your faith so strong and your gentleness. Thank you Jesus for my father which I love so much. Thank You for choosing him to be my dad.Well, its time to go and do the things that need to be done today. I love you papa with all my heart and soul. See you in my dreams and feel you in my heart always.

Hi Daddy,
It is another day and as I go thru the turmoils in my life, I can't help but to think of you and how you would make things better..just by being near.. by saying something funny... I miss that humor, that beautiful face and those loving arms. As I read thru all the posts, I am amazed that there are so many "# 1's"... #1 niece, #1 nephew,#1 daughter, #1 grandaughter..etc etc... How can we all be #1? And then I sit back and think.. its cause YOU made each of US feel like we WERE #1 to you.. and you meant it.. what a beautiful legacy Daddy... How wonderful that after 9 years, everyone still feels like they are your #1. How proud I am to have you as MY DAD... and how lucky I am. I will always have that hole in my heart and soul, longing for you... but each passing day, we all "cope" a little easier. I love you my angel...please hug all my other angels there with you too... especially Roy and Philip.
Io te voligo bene tuta coure (even tho I didnt spell it right..you know what I mean papa!)
Your REAL #1...

To my hero, my friend, my 1st love..my dad...
I can't believe that 9 years have past since I kissed that beautiful face, held that strong hand and talked to the one that had such wonderful wisdom, so much love to share with everyone and anyone who crossed your path. I miss you so much papa. I miss the talks and your funny little sayings... "dont worry, nothing is gonna be alright"... I miss your smiling face..but in spite of all of that, I would never call you back from your Heavenly home,not because I wouldnt want to have you back here with all of us, but because I know that you are happy there, and you are out of pain. Just know one thing papa.... You will always be my number one..
I love you so much...
