Dear Harry and Family,

I was so sorry to hear of your loss of your sister Lisa, your Mom and your Dad. Your Mom and Dad were such nice people, and Lisa, she was the best. Our family didn't realize that Lisa had passed until we saw your Mom's obiturary. Lisa passed away almost exactly a year before my brother Chris, who died on June 16th, 2009. We are all saddened by the news of your great loss. May God's peace be with you and your family.

Sincerely,

Alick & the Jameson Family(Marty, Patty & Laura)

Dear Harry and Family, You don't know me, but I sure know all about your family. Your Mother and Father were very dear friends of mine for all of my youth. We grew up and old together. This has been such a sad month for you and the rest of both families. My love and prayers are with you. I will also miss them so very much. May God be with you. Joan Schweigert, Wilsonville, Oregon

My heart goes out to you at this time of your tremendous loss. I couldn't believe it when I heard of their passing. I am so sorry...I know how much you love them both. I hope you find peace in knowing that they are together once again. He must have just been so lost with out his bride that he had for so many years. The love that they had for each other was so apparent. I will cherish the memories that I have of them and the impact that I know they made in your life. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

Harry,
Our deepest sympathy for the loss of your dad. We were so shocked to hear about that especially so soon after the passing of your mom. Trust that he is in a better place where there is no more pain, sorrow and suffering and in the arms of Jesus.
May the Lord watch over and bring you peace.

Harry and family, Jim & I were so saddened to hear first about my Aunt Mary and now Uncle Gus. Harry...you will remain in our thoughts. I'm so sorry that our military lives have kept us away from so many that we love, but my memories of growing up with such a wonderful family such as Gus & Mary will always bring a smile to my face. Always good times...so much laughing and playing with the "cousins". But now hopefully their all together with my mom and dad and your siblings. Much love and prayers. They will both be missed so much.

Dear Regina,
I cannot believe what you have had to go through in the last month. But I know you are strong and it is your tremendous faith that will see you through the weeks ahead. Please know you are constantly in my thoughts and prayers. xo

Dad,
I will miss you so much. I know how much you wanted to be with Mom, Lisa and Tony and how sad you were every night without Mom. I tried so hard to save you and for one breif moment you looked at me and smiled. Then you were gone. I don't know how I will ever make it with out seeing your smile every day and they way you would keep me going in my hard times. I thank God that I have my Children, Regina, John, Loe and all my freinds at this time of. (I don't know what to call it it's so bad)

Dear Lou & Harry,
We were very saddened of the news about Mr. Lapidakis. He was such a great person. He loved you both very much. I just spoke to him on Sunday, and his eyes just lit up when talking about you, Lou, and of course Mrs. Lapidakis. He also was able to smile when talking about Lisa. He will also be certainly missed with them both. Know that he is at peace, along with them - looking down and smiling on both of you. You both have been a huge support to him all these years. He is in our prayers, along with Lisa and Mrs. Lapidakis.

With deepest sympathy,
The D'Avello Family

Dear Regina and Family,

I will always remember "Our Gus" and all his joy he shared with all of us. I truly admired and loved him.

I would always look forward to him coming to bingo so I could get my hug and Mary will always hold a special place in my heart.

They will truly be missed, but knowing they are together again is a comfort.

My prayers are with you and family.

My dearest Uncle,

How can I begin to express what you meant to me. Words just don't do justice to what I feel.

You are the father I never had and an amazing role model of a true Christian. You were loving, funny, humble and caring. You had no idea how much people admired you. The way you lovingly and tirelessly cared for Aunt Mamie just filled my heart with pride and gratitude.

A big piece of my life went with you and Aunt Mamie, but I understand you had to be with your bride, and I am thankful for the time we had together. Your love and guidance made me strong and faithful, and able to endure these losses.

Until I can hold you again, I will hold onto the tremendous love you had for me. I will never stop thanking God for you and and Aunt Mamie and the blessings you were to me and John. We will miss you but you will always be in our hearts.

All our love,
Regina & John

Your absence will be a big void in my heart, but I am comforted in the fact that you are in good company with Mom, Lisa & Tony. All of the times we spent together are priceless to me and will never be forgotten. May your spirit shine down upon us and may your memory be eternal.
Love,
Lou
