You taught us to work hard and always gave us advice and guidance. Words cannot express the sadness that we now feel that you are no longer with us. We treasure the memories we have of you and all the stories shared about your life adventures. With your strength and bravery you fought so hard to stay but now your suffering is over. We have comfort in knowing you are reunited with our beloved mum and are now at peace. Love from your children, Teresa and William, Joe and Jodie, Tonia and Carmine, Rob and Jessie. To our treasured Nonno, Thank you for taking care of us. We will always remember the stories you loved to tell us and the adventures in your big backyard with our most precious memory of our annual tradition of raking the autumn leaves. We will always love you, miss you and will never forget you Nonno. Forever in our hearts. Love from your grandchildren, Daniel, Andrea, Jacinta, Lachlan, Clarissa, Angelo, Anthony, Matthew, Antonio, Lydia and Lia xxx One golden heart stopped beating, Two toiling arms at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best. You fought so hard to stay with us, Your fight was all in vain, God looked upon your weary face, And freed you from the pain. Your memories are a keepsake, From which we will never part, God has you in His keeping, We have you in our hearts. The family thank all the staff at Gaynes Park Manor, Joslin and Dr Peter Thorpe for all the love and attention shown to Antonio. Due to current restrictions a Private Funeral will be held.
