Hi Pop-Pop
Happy Birthday! We miss you so much. I am playing football pop-pop and when i have a good run I know it is because you are on my shoulder knocking those guys out of the way. I hope that you can see me and I hope that you know how much I love and miss you. I had the best pop-pop in the world. Thank you for loving me and watching out for me.

Hi Dad
Happy Easter. I miss you so much. Not a day goes by that I dont think about you. Especially at 8:30 am. It has been very difficult without you here. We are all managing but, it seems so surreal that you are not with us. The kids are well and they miss you greatly. Mom prepared a great meal for today and we will all be together. Smile down on us as we think of you. The time has passed quickly but, the emptiness just wont go away. Stay in our hearts dad, watch over all of us and know that you are loved and missed. The only solace I have is to know that my guardian angel is my dad. I love you dad. Say hi to everyone. I love you dad. Love Marg

Dear Dad
It is Dec 23rd and Christmas is almost here. I am not sure how I am supposed to feel with you not being here. We all miss you so much. I especially miss your humor this time of year. Mom has been baking her $#@ off but I am sure that you already know that. I have been to the store a hundred times for her. But, I love it. The kids are doing well but miss your physical presence in their lives. Please keep watching over us dad. We still need your guidance in our lives. We are taking good care of mom. She misses you horribly. Say hi to everyone for us dad. I love you always.

November 29, 2011

Hi Dad
I cant tell you how much I much you and love you. It was so hard this year at Thanksgiving without you. I never thought about having to visit you at the cemetary. I know that you are watching over us but, it is not the same as having you here. What I wouldn't give for one more hug. The kids are well but you already know that. I love you dad always and forever.

I don't know that I have ever met a family that missed their dad/grandpa/husband as much as yours misses you. They were truly blessed with a wonderful man in their lives. You are forever in their hearts with wonderful memories. I am certain you are so very proud of them. You left behind wonderful memories. You touched many people and you are truly missed. Love Cheryl

PopPop! I love you so much.. There is really no PopPop in the world who could ever replace you. You led a great life, gave me the best aunts and uncle, and you were always there for us grandchildren. You always put family before anything else in your life, and that's why I love you so much. You treated me so well through the fourteen years I got to spend with you. I always loved when Nick, Courtney, Logan, and I would spend the night at your house and we would always have so much fun with you. I remember when you would take us across the street to Deals and buy us each a toy. I remember you taking us to the pumpkin patch every year when we were little. I remember you always falling asleep during holiday parties. But my last real memory of you was when school was over and I was supposed to take the bus, but I didn't remember my bus number. Since you were right next door to the school, I called you, and you came over as fast as you could to take me back home safely. That is the kind, helpful, loving PopPop I will always remember.. I love you so much, I think about you every day, and you will always have a special place in my heart.

Andi Danler

October 13, 2011

Hi PopPop,
It's Andi. I really miss you. Sometimes I fall asleep with your picture because I miss and love you so much. Please watch over me always. I know you wanted to dance with me at my wedding and you will because you will always be dancing in my heart. I only had you for two years. But they were two great years. You are my hero, PopPop. Stay with me forever. Until I see you again- I love you always.

Hi PopPop,
Thanks for coming to see me. I know it comforts Mommy when I tell her of our visits. I miss you and love you so much. I will never forget all of the fun times we shared wrestling each other, playing hide and seek and going for walks with Bella. I started Karate yesterday. You would love it. You are the best PopPop a kid could have. Please watch over me and Andi. I will try and make you proud of my life. I know I have the best Guardian Angel ever. I love you so much. Until I see you again,
Jack

October 13, 2011

Hey Dad,

Almost a month has passed and I still do not believe you are gone. Although you are physically not here with me, you are in my heart and I see you in everything my kids do. I am still and will forever be heartbroken by your death. I DO know you are in Heaven and I DO know that you are at peace. But nothing comforts the pain I feel every day because you are not here. I miss your cute ways, your humor, your hugs, your hands, your wise advise, your stories and how you always knew the right things to say. I miss watching you with my kids and the joy you brought to our lives. You are the BEST. I hope you are having fun and enjoying your new life. I know I will see you again. Until then, Dad, I LOVE and MISS you every day.

No farewell words were spoken, no time to say good-bye.
You were gone before I knew it and only God knows why.
My heart still aches in sadness and secret tears still flow, what it meant to lose you, no one will ever know.

I Love You & Miss You.

Hi Dad, its been almost a month since you were taken from us. Im still having a hard time dealing with you not being around. You were my best friend. I could tell you anything and eveything. I want you to know Im looking after Mom and Bella. I miss you more and more everyday, and as much as I want you back I am glad you are at peace. And you are with your Mom and Dad (say hi to them for me please). I Love You POP and miss you.

Hi Dad,
Well another week has passed and I miss you more and more everyday. You must be a very important person for the good lord to take you away from us. I am sure JD and JC are the best of friends right now. Life is very rough without you in it but I am getting bye. I know you are here in another way but I still prefer the old way. I love you Dad, so much and I miss you so much. Love always and forever Your daughter Patty

Dad
It has been 3 weeks today that you left this earth and assumed your place in heaven. I miss you dad, we all miss you. I know that you are there and having a wonderful time. I truly hope that you are enjoying your parents as much as we enjoyed you. Even though we know all the old sayings and we believe what our faith tells us, we can't help but feel selfish because we want you back here with us. You blessed and enriched our lives in so many ways Dad that it makes it even harder to believe that you are not here. I know in the scheme of things that there is a reason for all of this. I just wish we knew so that we could make some sense of it and maybe feel some sort of peace. I Mom continues on with the legacy that you both created. We love and miss you dad. The kids are doing well and miss you also but I am sure that you already know that. Until we see each other again someday, I love you pop. Please continue to look over all of us. Say hi to everybody and Thank God for us as I do every night for making you our dad. Love you always and forever

Dad,
Three weeks ago today, you started your journey to Heaven (I know you are there). The Good Lord evidently felt like your work is done here and needs to be done there now. I miss you and love you every second of every day. My heart hurts so badly. Everyone tells me to remember the good times. That's easy, Dad, because there were ONLY good times. You are the best DAD. I am so blessed to have had you almost 43 years. Selfishly, I'd like 43 more (at least). I hope you are making up for lost time with your Mom and Dad. I know they will enjoy and love you as much as we do. Andi and Jack miss you and love you, too. We kiss your picture goodnight every night before we go to bed. You are forever in our hearts and you left an amazing legacy in our family. One day, I hope I can see the sense in you being gone. I wish you pure joy and happiness up there. I know one day, I will see you again. I love and miss you so much.

Good morning Dad, I miss you so much, my heart hurts all day, every day. I guess that tells you how much I love you. Keep your hand on my shoulder Dad and keep your Wings ready for flight. Til I see you again, I love you and miss you now and forever. "Pat"

Jim, its been 9 days since you left me so abruptly. I guess that God decided that your job on this earth was finished on Sept 15, 2011 and He had a job for you to do in heaven. I disagree with Him because I wasn't ready for you to leave and I know that this is for sure because my heart is so sad and is so fragmented that I don't think it will ever be whole again. Thankyou for the 50 year journey that we took together. You left me with lots of memories and a beautiful family that I treasure. Please wait for me with the door open no matter how much time is needed. My love to you forever. Say hello to my moms and dad; my sisters and brothers-in-law and everyone who has gone before me. goodbye for now.

Love Me

Jim it has been nine days since you left for your heavenly home. My heart is so broken because you left so abruptly, but I guess that God needed you more up there than I do here.

Vincent J. "Jim" DeLillo family,

Death of a loved one is one of life’s difficult moments faced with strong emotions.
Time shared with others, Time shared alone, time shared with precious memories, unspoken words and silent tears. This time with Jim.

Jim was forthright in word and deed. I knew him as a childhood friend growing up in Canton on 13th/14th street S.E. section. I knew Jim as a bowler, knew him during my tenure as a GCBA Board Member, where Jim served as a leader, motivator and as President. Jim was a strong force in the organization. His guidance will be missed.

Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless and the treasury of compassion inexhaustible, look kindly upon him and increase Your mercy in us, that in difficult moments we might not despair nor become despondent, but with great confidence submit ourselves to Your holy will, which is Love and Mercy itself. In Jesus Holy Name we pray, Amen.

September 18, 2011

Dad, words can't express the broken heart I feel. I find peace and comfort though knowing you are in the arms of your parents. I want you to know mom, my sisters and my brother will all be fine. We are going to talk about you and laugh. You have left us with so many wonderful memories, with so much pride an so much love. We are all going to keep you name and your memory alive with us here. Until I can see you again and feel your arms around me with that loving hug I LOVE YOU now and forever
Patty

Margaret DeLillo-Storey

Pop
There are no words to express the holes in our hearts. I miss you terribly and will somehow have to figure out life without you on earth. We will take care of mom and carry on all the values and traditions that you have taught us. There is nothing in life as valuable and precious as family and today we feel how precious it was. We love you always and forever Dad. Thankyou for the life that you and mom gave me.
Love forever, Duane, Marg, Nick and Courtney.
P.S Say hi to Grandma & Grandpa and please Dad, drop me some pennies.

Jimmy, I will never forget, all the times you & dad “won” against Ruthie & mom playing cards! Thanks for the most beautiful delicious wedding cake. You were such a generous person to all you came in contact with. I miss you & love you!
