It's been 16 long days and the pain is still so. They say you never know what you have until it is gone. That is not true with me, I knew exactly the type of man I had as a Grandfather. That is why it makes this so hard. I love you so much Paw Paw and I will never let you go! This candle is a symbol of my love and how it will forever burn for you. They say it gets easier but I dont think "they" ever knew and loved anyone like you! RIP Paw Paw....

Conti Family,
So sorry to hear of your loss. I know that Johnny is with my dad (Uncle Dopey and mom (Aunt Stella)and most of all with Uncle Chris and the gang...Probably riding motorcyles again or frying fish. At the very least I know that they are all healthy and healed and having a wonderful get together.

Paw Paw was soo much more than a Grandfather to me. I am forever indebted to him for all of his love, strength and wisdom he always so selflessly gave. They don't make them like him anymore. I know you are resting in COMPLETE peace now. Until I hold your hand again, I love you.

Johnnie, Larry and Debbie, It truly saddened me to hear about your Dad's final departure from the Family. However, I hope that knowing your Dad will be spending Christmas with my Mom and Dad will provide some comfort and peace during this time of sorrow. Our sincerest sympathy, Anita V. Stolfi & Dalyn E.
