" am so thankful for the good memories i have of my Dad, yes all families have their ups & downs... Marylou, Lisa, Michelle, Ricky, Steve, Gino, Christina, Uncle Pete & Aunt Geri, all my nieces, nephews cousins will miss my dad... Marylou & my Dad had a great long marriage, so many family picnics... holidays, when we all got together it was magic... I got the chance to say goodbye. the look of pain inside his soul tore me apart ... the same look my mom had before she left us all. Thank you Marylou & Barbara for taking good care of my Dad, ... one of the last things he had told me when i went to see him last week was : "I wish you came to see me more often" those words hit hard... last last words to me were : "I love you" sorry Dad I did not come to see you more often.. I love you too always your son"
In loving memory of
