August 25, 2021
Two hearts became one when we met and fell in love, and your heart lives on in mine. It has been thirteen long years of missing your physical presence here with me, but your spirit surrounds me always. As the years pass, I know that the time is closer for us to be reunited once more....never to be separated again, and the forever together we envisioned will begin. I love you.

Well Dad, it´s been 13 years you have been gone and it still feels like yesterday. I talk to you all the time and I hope you can hear me. I love you so much and miss you more than you will ever know! Frank and the kids love you too! Xoxo

Hi Dad-till this day-I miss you so very much! The day you died I lost my father, hero and my best friend. I wish you could see your grandsons grow up and how amazing of a husband and father Frank is-you would be proud of our little family! The kids would have loved you so much and Frank misses you too. And though you are gone, I still from time to time get the opportunity in a conversation to tell someone how lucky I am to have had you as my father. I smile and cry all in the same breath. I know in my heart your spirit is always with us and one day we will all see each other again. Until then, Dad, we love and miss you very much.

Dear Dad,
Today has been a year that you are gone-I can hardly manage to get through the day already. I woke up this morning and just watched Giovanni sleep. I see you in my son and it is so comforting to know tht a part of you lives on through him. Mom and I talked about silly stories the other day and heartfelt ones as well. It brought comfort to talk and laugh, although through tears, together. We all really miss your jokes, stinky! lol
I know you were loved by many people,and loved many people as well but I now realize as a Mother that there will always be a very special bond between us as Father and Daughter. There is no greater love than that between a parent and child as you once told me I would experience.
Please continue to watch over Giovanni as I believe you already do and Aunt Deb, Papa, Frank, Patty, Mom, and all others that you loved dearly in your life.
When the sun shines, I know you are smiling down on all of us, Dad.
I love you always,
Christina

Dear Mike,
Although it is a year since God took you home, I still feel you with me every day. I know you have been up there pulling strings to help me get right here where you wanted me and that you are seeing everything that happens here. We all miss you, and love you still and I look forward to the day when we are together again. You always said that God brought us together, and we were very lucky to have experienced that "once in a lifetime love" that so few ever know. That love will always be here with me and around me protecting me. Thank you for showing me that love every day you were here and even now in so many ways each and every day. Until we meet again.............I will love you always. Patty

It is truly hard to believe Mike has been gone for almost a year. He was a special man. The kind of man whose passing leaves a void in the hearts of all those who knew him - family, friends, and especially his wife, Patty. Patty and I have been close friends for many years, through many ups and downs in both of our lives. And I probably know her as well as anyone could except for Mike. Patty and Mike had the kind of love that only comes along once in a lucky person's life and never comes at all to most people. Patty, I hope you will always take comfort in knowing the love you shared with Mike will be with you forever.

Here it is August 12th, 2009, dear brother. Almost one year since you left us and it hasn't gotten much easier. Today I choked back many tears at my job. A lifetime of memories flooding my mind, memories of the "last time" still very fresh. I miss you so much and love you still!

You have an amazing angel watching over you and protecting you.

Dear Dad,
If you could see all the wonderful things people are writing in this legacy book, you would be amazed. Everyday I miss you more and more and I too have not accepted that you are truly not with us here on Earth. Each morning I talk to you and tell you I love you and I know you hear me. Papa, Frank, Me, Patty, and Aunt Debbie as well as many other friends and family were touched by you in our lives, that now it feels like an empty space at times. But, we must remember you are not gone, just in a much better place than we are right now. It's only temporary, I know, but you know me, I'm not good at having patience-and wish you we were all togther again sooner.
Your grandson will be here in 10 days, Dad; we are all so excited. I know you will be there too-especially when Giovanni looks into thin air and smiles. I will know you are looking upon your little Squirt and Squirt Jr. lol = )
I love ya, Dad, and even though you are not here, you will always be a part of my life each day through memories, pictures, family members, stories, etc. Your heart does go on in many ways-I am lucky to have such a special man as my father.
Love,
Your Daughter

Mike
I miss you cousin, I still haven't completely accepted the fact that I can't just call you on the phone, or stop by and sit with you in the carport. I miss our talks about: Inventions, Science, Religion, Politics, Business and other topics. I miss our fishing trips, barbeques and dining out. But as much as I miss you, I know that your wife Patti, your sister Debbie, your father Sal (uncle Jr to me), your daugther Christina and her husband Frank, miss you even more than I do. I'm not quite ready to be with you right now, but I know soon enough I will see you, Jesus and: my mother, grandmothers, grandfathers, friends, millions of people I never met (but some of them I've read about).
I'll try to be here for your family as much as I can, I Love them, and I know you would do the same for me.
Gotta go now Mike, I LOVE YOU
please tell Jesus I said hi

Debbie, Christina, Patty and Sal,
There is great sadness to think Mike has left us so early. I have known Mike since High School and will always remember his big smile. I look forward to seeing him again when our paths meet in Heaven and giving him a big hug. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. God Bless, Carol

My Dear Friend Pat:
It has been with profound grief that I have followed, in spirit, your every step during the past several weeks. In so doing, Iwas reminded of a poem from my mother' native Ireland which I would like to dedicate to Mike.
May the path come up to meet you
The breeze be always at your back
The sun shine warmly on your face
The rain fall gently around you
AND-Until we meet again
May God hold you in the Palm of His Hand

Dear Patty,
I will always remember the special times Lee and I had with you and Mike. When we all first met 3 1/2 years ago, it was the beginning of an adventure! When I would come down for the weekend, the first thing Lee would always say was let's call Mike and Patty and it didn't matter what we were going to do because we knew it would be fun!
Dear Christina,
Your Dad became a special part of my life for a very short time, and I will always treasure the memories.
I just want to say to both of you and to Lee, Debbie, Sal and all the family that you are in my prayers. I will miss Mike, too, but I take comfort in the fact that we should all meet again in heaven and when that time comes I expect Mike will be ready and waiting for us to join him on the ultimate fishing trip!

To my Father-in-law,
It has been a rough road for you these past few years. I keep playing in my mind different ways I could have done more for you, and have come to the conclusion that God wanted you now and there was nothing I could do to stop that. When I first met you and your daughter (now my wife) I knew that you were one of those people that just loved life, and loved to reward other lives with your irressitable laughter. Now God has rewarded you in return for all you have done on this earth. I can remember the days when Christina referred to you as her hero, and you refferred to her as your only reason for being on this earth. I just want you to know that although I can not be you, I am sure going to try and continue your legacy of being your daughters hero. And just like you, she is my only reason for being on this earth. I have been truly honored to be your son-in-law, and the son you never had.
You will be missed,
Francesco Di Piazza

Dear Sal, Debbie, Pattie, Christina and Family,
Mike and the Disilvestro family has always been a very important part of our life.
Thank God we've been able to be a part of it for many years.
There is no doubt that we will all miss Mike.
Because of our faith in Jesus, we know that it is only a matter of time untill we all will meet again and continue our relationship that will last for all eternity.
Meanwhile let us all pray for Mike and one another.
Enjoy life and each other while we are still together here on earth, for someday soon we will all be reunited and then we'll have the happiest reunion ever.
May God bless you Mike, and may God watch over all your family especially your daughter and new grandchild.

To Our Cousin Mike,
Words can not express how much we miss you! Our whole family loved you so much and always will. You touched so many people’s lives and our family was one of them. We know you’re not alone, and in someway we can even smile knowing that you are with your Mother, Grandparents and Our Mother Vickie. And don’t worry we will tell your Grandson all about you! I really miss you buddy! Love you always,

Mike was the most wonderful, giving person I ever met. We truly loved every minute of the 3 and 1/2 years that we had together. We both felt that we had been meant to find each other. I miss him every minute and can't believe that he is really gone. He will always be in my heart. He was my best friend as well as my husband and I know that we will be together again. He touched the lives of everyone that he knew and was a such a special person.........he will leave an empty space in all of our hearts.

Dear Dad,
I miss you more than you will ever know. Each day I see you in my mind and hope that when I open my eyes you will be standing there. But, for now, I guess this is like a long vacation for us and we will see each other again. I will promise to tell your grandson all about you when he is born in a few weeks and grows up. You will not be just a memory, but always a part of us and just a prayer away. I love you Dad-my father and best friend.

Dear Sal, Debbie and Christina,
Although I hadn't met Mike, I knew about him through Debbie. Be assured that he's in a better place and you will be with him in the future. The most difficult part is being left behind, but you will be able to laugh with him and share with him again. Do not be afraid to tell him so as you pray for him and your family and friends.
God bless you, comfort you and keep you strong.
In His love,

poem by Mary Frye (1932)
Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you wake in the morning hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there, I did not die!
by Mary Frye (1932)
Dear Pat and the Disilvestro family,
I was so happy that Mike had come into Pat's life. And now so saddened that he has passed. As a longtime friend of Pat's I know they were very happy together. Mike will be deeply missed.
My deepest sympathies,
