Rachael and Angelo,
I am so very sorry for your loss. I remember your father from the time I was two years old. We only lived two houses apart. He was such a nice guy. Again I am sorry for your loss. I know nothing can comfort you now, but maybe your memories of him can bring you some peace. Much love.

There's a million things running thru my mind and the most fitting thing I can think to say is thank you. Thank you mum and dad for raising us to be able to handle such adversity. It is because of you we will pull together and get thru this most difficult time in our lives. We are the parents we are today because of you two and Dylan also when he reproduces. There won't be a day that goes by that we won't think of you but we can take solace in knowing you 2 are together again watching over us. We love you with all our hearts and you both will be missed deeply
