Daddy, I still cannot believe you are not here. It's almost 2 years and it is still hard for me, i know it's supposed to get easier with time, but it really hasn't. I love you so much, you are always in my heart. I think of you everyday and will love you always. I miss you so much....

Dear Daddy,
Words cannot express the emptiness I feel inside. When your heart stopped working so did part of mine. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about you and miss you.
You were the most sensible man in the world. You always had a peaceful answer for any situation. You were our inspiration. We all have so many memories of you but the one that my husband always brings up is your favorite saying "Save the money!" How right you were!
You always did everything for your wife and children and when you died a part of each of us died too.
Mom is trying so hard to be strong for us all but she is so sad. Her eyes show how much she longs for you.You were such an essential part in all of our lives and for that our lives will never be the same.
I miss your smiling face and silly jokes. Holidays are just not the same nor will they ever be. We all try for the kids but, there is such an important part of us that is missing.
I feel so lost sometimes because I don't have you to call when I have a dumb question because no matter what you always made things better.When me or Lella were sick you always made things better with a hershey bar or two.
Daddy, If I could have one wish it would be to just see you and hug you one last time. I didn't get to say goodbye and it really hurts not knowing if I could have made a difference. It's been a year now and I've finally found the courage to write in your Guest Book. I know that your body and soul are in a better place but I also know your spirit is with us. Lella and Amedeo feel the same. Mom was telling me that one day she was in the kitchen by the fireplace and felt your presence next to her.She sleeps with your picture every night. I feel so bad for her. She's trying to do everything you always did to keep your memory alive. She plants all the flowers and veggies and even tries to blame you when something goes wrong because you always had the best garden. You have done everything for us all since we were young never depriving us of anything and always putting yourself last. I know you are still there watching over all of us.
Jamie misses you so much. You'd be so proud of him, he is with mom helping her. Words cannot express how much this young man loves you and he knows how much you have done for him.
Anthony Jr. misses you so much too. He's always bringing up silly things you did like chasing him around the room with your belt. He gets so sad when we talk about you because he doesn't understand why you left us. He keeps going to Nonna's house because he says that if he always goes there, Nonna will be happy and will never die.You'd be so proud of him too. He's not fresh anymore. He's doing well in school.
Danielle and Matt are engaged to be married and Kassie is in high school.
Daddy ,I miss you so much.
Everytime we're at the house I still can't sit in your seat and I get angry with anyone who does because no one can ever fill your shoes or take your place. Dad you were one of a kind. You were the true definition of a gentleman. You saw the good in everyone. No one could ever have anything negative to say about you because you were so good.You were the best father anyone could ever wish for and we were all lucky enough to say that you were OURS! Dad, I hope you're happy up in heaven. With so much that is bad and evil in this world, it makes me wonder why God would take the nicest, most kind and generous man we all know and love. I guess it goes to show that God only wants the best! That's why he chose you! REST IN PEACE DADDY! IO TI AMO SEMPRE!
Mai dimentico la nostra canzona, "Sono la terroncini di Papa!" Saro' sempre la tua Angioletta.

Dear Frank,
It was am Honor to get to meet you, although it was only for a short time. Your kindness and generosity will never be forgotten. You were certainly an inspiring and uplifting man filled with
love and happiness for Family and friends. You will always be in our prayer's and thoughts each passing day.
Although we lost a Wonderful in-law, we have gained a beautiful and caring daughter-in-law, and through her we will
always remember you. Rest in Peace Frank. With Love, Anthony and Deborah Tiro

You weren't just an ordinary person you were a voice of reason and power."wait a second" you are a voice of power. You are an inspiration to all that love you, even though you are not with us in the physical. You welcomed me with open arms when you didn't even know me and for that you have a permanent spot in my heart and an undying thought in my memory. You are one of a kind. Rest in Peace Frank.. Love the HULK!!

Nonno, I can't even begin to tell you how much I miss you. You accepted me like your own granddaughter from day one. I will never forget the time you chased me kassie and jamie around the yard with a broom because you caught us jumping on your bushes. I will remember that for the rest of my life. You are a great man and a wonderful person. I can only hope that you are resting in peace and we will meet again someday.. I love you always your granddaughter Danielle

Daddy,
I can't find words to tell you how I feel. I miss you everyday. I find myself driving in the car and having to pull over because I can't stop crying. There is not one day that goes by that I don't look at this book but I haven't been able to write anything because it just hurts so bad. I wasn't there when you died and I feel so much pain that words cannot express. It's been a year now and I still can't come to grips with why God had to take you from us. You did everything for everyone and each and everyone of us misses you dearly. Mom is not the same although she tries so hard for all of us.\ Holidays will never be the same because your smiling face and silly jokes are not there to make us laugh.There is no one in any of our lives that could ever take your place.
Sometimes I look over my shoulder cause I feel you there and I know that Raff and AJ feel the same. Mom told me that one day she was standing by the fireplace and that she felt your presence right next to her. Daddy, you really have done everything for us since we were small and it is so hard without you. Jamie is so lost without you because you practically raised him before I met Anthony. He cries all the time. Anthony Jr. misses you so much too . There is not a week that goes by that he doesn't say remember when Nonno chased me with the belt. I really miss NONNO! Anthony feels guilty that he wants to go to Nonna's all the time. He says that if he goes to Nonna's she will be happy and that she will never die.
With so much that is evil and wrong in this world it makes me wonder why God would take the most kind and generous person in the entire world. I guess it only goes to show that God only takes the best!
Sono la terroncini di Papa!
REST IN PEACE DADDY
I LOVE YOU ALWAYS

Dear Frank, I will remember you always, your kindness, generosity, and caring way. You have a beautiful spirit and had a way about you that was so real that you made people feel important and cared about. And I loved how you cherished and loved your family. You brought such happiness. Your passing has been our loss, but Gods gain. I look forward to seeing you again some day. Soar with the angels! Love, Joanne

Dad, there is not one day that goes by that I don't think of you. Sometimes I pick up the phone, not realizing you are not here to answer.... Life just isn't the same here without you... I want you to know how much I appreciated you and everything you did for me through the years... You were the best father in the world!!! I know that God took you from us because he needed you up there in heaven. You are an Angel. Please know that I, Angela & Amedeo will try and help mom as much as we can. She misses you so much, it hurts me to see her so sad without you, but she is strong and she will get through this in time. You are with us always. This picture was of our last christmas together in 2007, you are the only person I know who would be completely dressed and looking as classy as you always did. You are a gentlemen in every regard! I am proud to have you as my father.

Ciccio, you went so fast and so quiet without making me realize that you are never coming back again. You gave me wonderful children, you gave me love, you gave me pride, you gave me all a wife can ask for. You made me strong, you made me happy, you made me the person i've become. You are and always will be my love and my best friend. My life is lonely without you. I will love you forever...Love Elena

Dear Frank,
Thankyou for giving me your blessing to marry Raffaella. I'll always remember how kind and generous you were to me. I will remember the Sunday dinners, when we raked the leaves in the backyard of Raffaella's house, when I came to visit you at the store. They will always be with me. I promise to always take care of Raffaella and I only hope I did you proud with how I've fixed up her house. "How Raffaella and I fixed up the house". Please rest in peace, be with God and all the angels. I love you... Dad

Daddy, no words can describe how much I miss & love you. You were & always will be the light of my life, the most beautiful person I have ever known, no one will ever replace the joy you gave me day to day, i was truly blessed to have had you as my father, I am a reflection of you and will always appreciate your kindness and love. I hope someday I can pass to my children the same adoring love you had given me throughout my life. I know you are watching over me from heaven. You are with me always...
I love you!

Dear Elena and family,
I had the privilege and pleasure of meeting your husband/father on several occasions - he was a gentleman of the first order. A devoted husband, father and grandfather, I am certain he will be missed by all. Take comfort in the fact that you were all blessed to have him with you and that you loved and respected him so.
My being in Florida prevent my attending the services in person. May God bless you and provide you with the strength to see you through this most difficult time.
Love, Jim & Pamela McGrane
