Riposi in Pace

Caro Papa, Caro Nonno,
Words cannot express our great loss. We shared a beautiful life together and you taught us so much that we would never forget. We love you and you will be dearly missed.
Estera, Philip, Nicolas, Peter and Anthony

Dear Dad,
Thank you for a lifetime of your love and support in allowing me to do the things I wanted to do and making me a better person for it. I will miss our scopa games.
Always in my heart and forever in my memory.
Love Raffaele and Carolina

Papa,
Sono Antonietta, ti voglio tanto bene.
These were the last words I spoke to you as I watched you go to sleep. Finally your suffering has ended and you are now at peace with our beloved Mum and your treasured family. I hope to continue your legacy in life with the lessons you taught me. I hope to be just like the person that you were. I will miss you but I have no fear as I know you will always be near.
Humble, Generous and Strong
Now Resting
Love Antonietta and Joe

Nonno,
Thank you for the magic you brought into all of our lives. We will never forget the way we sang together, or the delicious pizza that only you could make. We love you and will miss you forever.
Lucymarie, Bianca, Giulia, and Suzannah

Caro Papa,
You left our hearts broken but the memories will be treasured forever. I recall all the fun times we had together. You taught me how to make bread and pickled vegetables. We laughed a lot but in the end we cried a lot. Now I know you’re resting and pain free. I’ll miss you Papa,
love you forever your little girl Mirella and Pino xx

To our beloved Nonno Mario,
We were truly blessed to have you as our Nonno and will cherish all the memories we shared together. Finally you are in no more pain and have reunited with your greatest love, Nonna Bianca in heaven.
Rest in Peace Nonno
We love you, your Grandchildren
Rose-Marie, Matthew, Jessica, Sam, Natalie and Daniel
