You have left us with a legacy Dad A void that will be hard to fill You will live on in all of us You are now at peace Your memory will live forever in our hearts. Love from your son Nick and daughter-in-law Arnna. The loving memories of you will always be there. The loving smile you had for me will always melt my heart. Your constant support I will always treasure. Dad, you were my rock, my everything. My heart aches intensely. Shine bright Dad, you’re my star. Love you to eternity, your daughter Rosemary. 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. Love from your son Frank and daughter-in-law Natalie. Dad, for the last 33 years I started and ended each day with you, working together at Premix. You showed and taught me everything I know, and for that I can never thank you enough. It is so hard to think of starting each day now without you, but I know that you will forever be watching and guiding us. Everything that you did, you did for us, and this will never be forgotten. You left a place no one can ever fill, and it is so hard to say goodbye. With heavy hearts we say goodbye Dad, Rest in Peace, until we meet again. Love from your son Robbie and daughter-in-law Maria. ‘E sii felice, bambina mia, questo è l'augurio che ti fa papà…’ ‘And be happy my baby girl This is the wish that daddy makes you…’ I did not want to let you go when we danced to that song Dad. Know that it was you that always made me truly happy. I could not have asked for a better father than you. My sons will be taught to do it Nonno Femia’s way. I love you Dad, I always will. Your baby girl, Patricia x. Nonno, You will forever be our favourite storyteller, advice giver, comedian, and our rock. Your heart was made of gold, you were witty and wise, and determined in everything you did. Thank you for teaching us the value of being humble and generous. Our hearts are full because of you. You will live on forever through each and every one of us. Your cheeky grin will never be forgotten. “Ahhh yea.” Your grandchildren – Jessica and Miro, Stephanie and Matt, Victor, Olivia and Martin, Carlo, Mitchell, Kristen, Rose, Celia, Cosimo, Massimo and Louis. My Great-Nonno, I may be small, and we may have had a short time together, but I’ll cherish every smile we shared forever. And when I close my eyes each night, I’ll sleep soundly knowing you are watching over me. I love you. Your first great-grandchild – Zak.
