Amanda,
Your father had to have been a wonderful man to raise an amazing, beautiful woman like yourself. He was more than lucky to have been with you long enough to meet Jianni, the precious little angel that he is. I was not lucky enough to have met your dad, but a part of him will always live on in you, and seeing this picture it amazes me how much Jianni resembles him! So handsome! Nobody will ever take the place of your Dad, but you are blessed with a husband who loves you more than life, and your son, Jianni who is the most amazing little creature I have ever met. look to them for strength when you need it. I am truely sorry for your tremendous loss.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

To my beloved Father in Law,
This world has just sufferd a loss of a great life. Each day will be a little less bright without you here. I am grateful for the time you gave me, the knowledge you inspired me with, and the mentorship I will cherish for all of my days. I am honored that you gave me your daughter to hold on a pedistal, who is if anything a mirror image of the great man you are, and taught her to be. I am lucky enough that when I look at my wifes eyes and my sons face, I see you. I promise with all heart, to make sure my son knows how amazing and special you are, and do my best to pass down the knowledge I know you would want him to learn. I love you, and will always love you, all the days of my life. May your precious soul live with us forever.

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.
To the Machado Family... Dino will be missed. Lots of love to all of you.
