One year anniversary of your passing
September 25, 1957 – November 14, 2019
One year ago today we lost the man that forever changed our lives. The sun continued to rise but we no longer felt the warmth on our faces. The moon still rose in the sky but the stars shone dull. We gathered, we smiled, we laughed, but without you nothing was as happy, funny or whole. The holidays passed but the celebrations changed. As a family we have pulled from your strength and held each other up. We have not wavered in how much we reminisce, how we keep the memory of you alive in our traditions and our daily stories to our children. Your brother, sisters, brother in laws and sister in laws (Matthew, Anna, Lena, Frank, Franca, Dan, Carmen, Linda, Mario, LoriAnn) have missed your frequent advice; your children (Carmen, Laurie, Maryann, Sonny, Diana, Adrian) have missed your guidance, your Grand Children (Dominic, Nicholas, Abby, Jake) your unfaltering love. Your wife Anna is forever missing the bond you shared together for 40 years. With you gone, she now knows how true love will never fade as you live in her heart every minute of the day. You taught us in life to push through, that life doesn’t stop when someone leaves us but you never told us how much our lives would change with you gone. We try every day to heal our hearts but never will they return to the way they were. We try to find solace knowing that you are together with your parents, your in- laws and your best friend Sammy. A special thank you to all our family and friends who have been there for us over the past year as we have learned to live this new normal. Your support and love has meant the world to us.
Love, Your Family
