To our precious Father and Nonno Dominic,

You fought for us right up until your last hours, how we will go on now is a question we are yet to answer. Our broken hearts are still trying to make sense of why you were taken from us so soon.

Your genuine kind heart was known by all and your ability to light up a room was something so many people speak fondly of. Your humour, loving nature and unforgettable smile, was something that will live on in the lives of everyone that was fortunate enough to know you.

I will miss our chats, Dad, the advice you gave to me, your encouragement and the gentleness a father shows only to his little girl.

We will miss the affection, dedication and support which constantly circled around us. We will all cherish the wisdom and warmth you brought to us and continue to honour your wishes voiced in your last days.

God now has you tightly wrapped in His arms, in no more pain, flying high with the angels. Rest in peace forever with your only one true love, our dear mother Anna. No other love ever came close to the love you both shared and now Dad, your heart is finally healed. Sleep peacefully now, our cherished father, until we meet again.

We love you eternally,

Bianca, Tony, Anna-Lisa, Chanel and Anastasia.

With profound love and respect, we honour the life of Dominic Tallarida.

Dad was a man of strength, wisdom, and deep kindness. His love for his family knew no bounds, and his legacy of loyalty, generosity, and humour will forever be treasured.

To me Dad, you were my safe space, the person I could completely be myself with. Every morning, we shared coffee together, a simple ritual that became the foundation of countless heartfelt conversations, laughter, and memories. Those moments, filled with love and understanding, will remain etched in my heart forever.

To us, he was not just a father and father-in-law, but a guiding light and a source of unending support. His love shaped our lives, and his memory will remain in our hearts always. Rest peacefully, Dad, knowing your impact will forever be felt.

With Eternal Love,

Adam and Victoria Tallarida
