My Darling Husband,

Oh my God, I miss you so very much. If you had know how miserable I was going to be, surely you wouldn't have left me. This horrible emptiness I have just won't go away. I am trying to be strong for Michon but that's not working either. I'm so thankful we had those seventeen years together. We were so compatible and we had so much fun together. For once in my life I had the happiness I had searched for only to have it taken away. Please come to me in a dream or let me feel your prescence. I love you, Angelo and Michon misses his Papa so very much. Look down on us and protect us. I can't stop the tears.

Love,

Dolores

Dear Angelo,

I can't believe it's almost been six months since you left me. Nothing is the same. I still see your smiling face, see you walking holding Michon's hand, driving down the freeway on one of our many trips only to realize they will never happen again. Everyone says it will get easier with time and I know it will but so far it hasn't. You were truly the love of my life and a part of me is missing. If I could only know that you're alright and content, but these are the mysteries of life, we'll never know. I still love you and you are constantly on my mind.

My Darling,

Today is Michon's 7th birthday and we both wish you were with us to celebrate. Your absence is so painful and I still don't want to believe you're gone. Michon told me he doesn't feel safe after dark because you aren't here. He did tell me not to cry because you're in a better land. I know all these things but nothing eases the pain. I love you, Angelo and all the things you did for us.

My Darling Husband,

I can't believe I'm starting a new year with out you. I miss you so very much. I feel your presence all of the time but that's not enough, I want to see your smiling face, I want to hear you say, "I love my wife". I play the phone message you left when I want to hear your voice. I can't wait until I can hold you again. We miss you so very much. I hope you are sitting at Jesus's feet waiting for us. Stay close to us until we meet again.

I love you.

Angelo, it's still very amazing, to me, that you are no longer with us. I truly believe that God works for the good of all, and that by taking you from this earth and all that made you happy, He knows the real reason why. I pray that you are at peace. I thank God that you came into my Mother's life and brought her so much happiness. A happiness that was missing in her eyes for a long time. You gave her that and so much more, so I thank you. You provided a safe and secure home for two grandsons that you had no idea you were going to have to provide for. You can rest in peace knowing that both of those boys have benifited enourmously from your love and kindness. Michon especially. You came into his life when he needed you the most and he misses you so much. But I know that Mama will keep your memory alive for him always. I want to thank you for all the help you extended to me, all the photos you'd e-mail, all the meals you cooked, all the laughs we shared. Know that you will always be loved for who you were. I pray that you and Daddy both are looking down on Mama and Michon and will watch over them and guide them so that they can do all they can to make it in this world together, without fear or pain. Until I see you again, God bless. Love, Breenie

To My Darling Husband,

There's no way you can imagine how much we miss you. Even though I feel your presence in every room, not being able to see or touch you is killing me. Life seems meaningless withoug you. Michon is so very sad, it's even sader to watch him. I can't understand why God allowed you to leave us when we were just embarking on our life's adventure and had so many plans to fulfill. You were a wonderful husband and father. Your memory will be with me forever and I pray you are at peace. I love you, Angelo.

My deepest sympathy to Dee and the family.

I'll always have such fond memories of Angelo when we worked together. I'll never forget our daily Tetris challenges.
