Message: We are honored to provide this Book of Memories to the family.

Message: In a few days it will be Christmas. We will do our family traditions however there will be two people missing from the table. You are missed so much Daddy. RIP xxoo

Message: I missed hearing your voice yesterday. You calling me and asking who's this when I would answer the phone lol. Thinking about you and Mom all the time. 💜

Message: I hope you liked what Frances and I did on the bench for you and mommy on your one year anniversary. I know you also saw what happened to it, but that's ok. No one can ever take away the memories we all have of you and mom. Frances told me the beautiful story of how you visited her the other day! Brought tears to my eyes, but happy ones. I hope you are smiling, laughing and proud we are following through with your wishes. I'm sure there were moments where you were shaking your head too. I think we all have, however we are sticking together. Miss you daddy xxoo 💔

Message: Hi Dad I came to visit you and Mommy today. Thank you for coming by and letting me know you were there with me. It's been hard not having you guys here with us. There are always things that remind me of you both. Sometimes it makes me smile and other times makes my eyes fill with tears. The holidays will be here again before you know it and it's just another reminder that we will be celebrating them without you. I wish I could be talking to both on the phone or at the house right now instead of through a message. It would be really nice to hear your voices right now. 💙❤

Message: One year today Dad you left us. 365 days of tears, memories, and heartache. It seems like everywhere I turn I am reminded of you. I look at my kids and see bits of you. Some of my favorite memories with you : you teaching me how to throw and catch a baseball, standing on your back to get the knots out, filling the freezer one father's day with toasted almond ice cream bars, throwing pistachio shells at you, going to all the Mets games with you (dreaded seeing that awful team lol), all of Harry's baseball games, Sunday dinners, the countless talks and conversations, your wisdom and advice, when you made my high school yearbook 😂, the family values you instilled in me, you holding each of my kids for the first time, our shared love for animals, every Christmas, watching you tell the same stories you told us as kids to my kids and nieces and nephews, giving you haircuts, cooking for you, us taking the "old peoples" bus together and so much much more! This week I've watched and listened to all the videos I took of you the last few months you were here. Sometimes they calm me, other times I cry and sometimes I laugh because you were right. Hearing them makes me feel like you are speaking from the other side. You are missed beyond words can express, you are loved so much, and we know you are watching all of us. One of our last talks meant the world to me and I listen to it as a reminder of how you felt as a father and a person. Your truth will always live on with me. I love you daddy always and forever. Xxoo

Message: Daddy, tomorrow makes a year you left us and went to a better place. So many memories are replayed in my mind and are with me always. The talks, the advice, the cooking lessons, the songs, the movies, the laughs, the cries, the smiles, the jokes, the dances, the driving lessons,helping me with homework, rocking me to sleep, telling me stories,all the life lessons, the list goes on. You as a grandfather was such a joy to see. The kids always talk about you and mommy. We tell stories and look at pictures often. I can honestly say they will all be better people because they had you and mom as grandparents. You both made a special impact in all of their lives and I'm very grateful for that. You were right Dad, and you said that I would say it out loud and I have things you said that would happen have and it shouldn't have surprised me but some of them did. You think as a kid ok sure but now as parent myself you have those ah ha moments and say crap they were right! Daddy you are missed and loved very much. I know you are with all of us always with mommy by your side. Keep watching over us ❤

Message: This day last year you signed yourself to life support. I was racing down to the hospital and missed seeing your eyes open for the last time. I live that moment through my sisters memories of your last spoken words. Next week will make a year. I still CANNOT believe it. No words can take away the pain,no comfort exists and it doesn't get easier in time. Sempre nel mio cuore! Xxoo 💟💔💟

Message: Happy First Birthday in Heaven Daddy💔 Last year I remember cooking you breakfast, we ordered pizza for lunch and the kids and I sang Happy Birthday to you. You blew out the candles and the kids wanted you to make a wish. I took so many pictures of you that day. I hope you enjoy the celebration we are having for you today and you are celebrating to the fullest with mom and all our loved ones in Heaven. We are keeping our promise to you 💟 Love you and miss you everyday!! Xxoo
