Dear Mom and Dad, Miss you guys so much and wish so much that you could be here to celebrate the holidays with us. The boys are all growing so quickly you would not believe it. Your little namesake Gianni Antonio is especially funny right now Daddy. But they all bring such joy and happiness to our lives. I'll be spending this day cooking and getting ready for our special Christmas Eve at Gram's house and hope that the Lord will allow you to peek down and see us gather for the wonders of that special night. Thank you for all the wonderful Christmases and for all of your sacrifices and hard work. May you both rest in the Lord's perfect peace now and forever. Merry Christmas...I love you, Theresa

Dear Mom and Dad,

Hard to believe the summer has passed. The boys are almost ready to start school again;they look so darling in thier little uniforms and quite handsome too. Well, how could they be anything else?

Hoping you guys will put in a good word with the Big Guy for Aunt Mary D. She really needs a blessing to get her through her pain. She worked so hard all of her life, she deserves a break now that she's older. Maybe The Lord can convince her to let us care for her here someday when she is ready. As we have lost our family members, one by one, those remaining are so much more precious. She is our last link to you Daddy, please pray she stays a while.

We are all well and happy, just miss you both so much. We will be eternally grateful that the last years were the best years...love forever, Your Daughter xoxoxoxoxoxo

Dear Daddy, Here we are at the end of our rainbow again pops. The month of June always seems to fly by now. Oh, I will be still talking to you and writing to you and praying for you, same as always; it is just nice to have our special month.I have a Father on Father's day again and I get to send you a personal Happy birthday message from my heart. It feels as if you are right here by my side for 30 precious days.



Thanks for praying us through the weekend, all was well and all the kids were fine. Lee and I had a pleasant and exciting trip and as always I thought of you non-stop. So many things I just wish so hard I could share with you. I guess it will have to wait til we meet in Heaven Good Lookin'



As you know we aren't out of the woods yet on so may levels. Our faith in God is strong though, so rest easy pops, Jesus has it all covered.:)You can keep praying though...Get Mom to help she's a great believer.



I guess I'll close, it's hard to say goodbye again Dad, I just want to say thanks again for being such a tender heart. You set the Gold Standard when it came to wonderful fathers... I'll never forget you Dad. I love you, Theresa

Dear Dad,



somehow my letter to you here did not post, glitches I guess. If anyone wants to see your memoriam for 2006 it is listed under obits in the lefthand column when you bring up the daily obits. And we have a whole buch of letters to you and mom under her guest book name. Some how they put a space between the De and Simone so it wont come up unless we do that in trying to get in to read them. But pop they are all there for you and anyone who wishes to read them. I love you, Theresa
