Dear Titina & Family,

Even though I am an Ex-sister-in-law?? I always remember what a great father & husband Tony was. He loved his family so, even all his nephews & nieces. I remember how much Tony and Titina cared about me and my Sons (Vincent & Sal) and was there when I needed them the most! I just wish I could have been there before these last couple of years. Sometimes we make choices in life that is out of our hands at that moment. But I never forgot what a great family man Tony was, along with my Ex-brother-in-Law ?? Bill (a man that I admired) and the love that Bill and his wife (Maria) shared! I wish I would have known when Bill passed away; I would have been there also!

Now, two great men will be together! Their memories and stories that I have shared with my Sons through the years will always stay
in my heart.

Titina & family: Take comfort in knowing that now you have two special guardian angels to watch over you and all your family!

One cannot erase the past! I am glad, that we have come together again! And my Sons have found their other side of the family!

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Forever in my heart!
Maria & family

Dear Uncle Tony,

I have a lot of fun memories at your house and when you came to ours. You always had a smile on your face and made me feel welcome.
My Dad always enjoyed spending time wth you. Especially sharing a beer, glass of wine, and an occasional cigar.
You always made each other laugh. I know that by now you are doing that with him again in heaven.
I know that sometimes us kids drove you crazy but they were some of the funnest times ever. Thank you for allowing us to be kids.
I know we will all miss you.
Love,
Brian
