Dear Dad, It has been a few weeks now since your death and I can still hardly believe that you are no longer here with us. I still feel as though you will walk into the room at any moment. Your huge personality and sense of humor are so missed. We all continue, and always will, tell our favorite stories about you. Some bring tears; some bring smiles. Thanks for being a great dad. You were always there when we needed you. You loved my children deeply and they loved you. You are in my heart forever. I love you. Rest in peace daddy. Your daughter, Linda
Dear Dad: You will be missed so much... you were such a powerful presence in our home and in my life. I loved you like a dad, and you always treated me like a daughter. I would have done anything for you. I'll never forget our holidays together. I have been trying to cope with the thought of my mom not being with us on Christmas Eve, but now without you there, things will never be the same. Rest in peace...you will be sorely missed... Diane Rossi
