Hi Dad,
It's 2 years but seems like 20. Your picture at the cemetary is just perfect because it looks like you always smile at us when we visit.
I touch your stone evrytime and hope that you feel the love from me. It always takes years to understand what you did for Mom, Sal and me.
The first thing I think about is the garden. You always were so proud of it, and I too would tell all about it. Even totay, we miss it.
With everlasting love your son,Rino

Hi Da,
Merry Christmas in Heaven. I miss you more then ever. I have been having dreams about us. I told mama about them. It 's hard for her as she misses you too. The house is quiet and empty. I always thought in my mind that you would live forever. We visit you every week. Now I know when people say words cannot describe the loss. It's hard but life has to go on.
Gabriella and Danny miss you. They visit you whenever I have them, every 2 weeks.
We are getting ready to go to mama's this Christmas Eve, 2008. I have a candle I will light in your memory.
Always in my heart.
Love always your son,
Reno

Hi Da,
It's 5 months and it seems a dream that you are gone from us. Mamma misses you as Sal and I do too. I think of you almost everyday. I think back to the days when you were trying to educate us, but you didn't know the best possible way to do so.
You come to mamma in a few dreams. She feels guilty of what happened at the end. I know it wasn't the ending we wanted for you. The suffering you were going through was just too much to watch.
We look at your picture at the mausoleum and it's like you talk to us. The house is quiet; no distractions for mamma. She truly misses you. I know, it's in her eyes everyday we come to see you.
We'll talk again soon.
Love always your son,
Rino

Hi Da,
Its just 3 months but seems like 3 years since you went home. It's so lonely at your house when I get there. Mama is very strong, but cries every week I take her to see you.
It seems you left us without us saying bye. I wish we could've said something. I have that in my heart that I couldn't have said goodbye to you.
I just remember your suffering at the end and knew that the best was for you to see heaven.
I hope you are at peace and pray you talk to Mama to let her know everything is OK.
Love Rino

Hello Da,
Where do I begin… a long time ago, you, like so many others, left your birthplace, your family, your Mother, your brothers and sisters, your friends, your country, and made the long voyage to America. You left much behind, but not your heritage, not your ethics, not your pride. You came to this land of opportunity that you had heard so much about, not for yourself, but for your children and your children’s children, so that we may have a better life, a new beginning. You and Mamma sacrificed much, always at your own expense, and we never wanted for anything. Be proud of what you’ve done – you succeeded! All too often, the words between us were difficult in coming, me the rebellious one, and you the disciplinarian. As I grew older and, perhaps wiser, I better understood your love, your philosophy, your drive. And as you witnessed this, you stood there quietly with a Father’s pride, never boastful, never critical.
I remember your strict work ethics, your mentoring, your desire for your sons to learn as much as possible, your education – not that learned in a school, but that which can only be taught at home - and your constant reminder to us to learn… “Barati� you would say in dialect, and we did.
We resisted your call to garden – we always had more important things to do – but you knew better. You worked the soil till it gave up its crop, you nurtured the roses until they blossomed in appreciation, you worked long and hard all your life…and then Heaven called you home. Tell me, are the peaches and wine as sweet there? We are on this earth for the blink of an eye, and I would consider myself blessed if I were to leave behind but a fraction of your legacy. May flights of Angels sing thee to thy rest.
I love you Da. Your son, Saly.

Dear Grandpa, I've seen you fight a difficult battle and I know you fought hard. You did your family proud but now you can lie peacefully. Although your words were quiet, your actions spoke loud. I will always remember following you around in the garden as kid and listening to you tell me how the tomatoes became so beautiful and the roses to perfect. I will also remember the sense of humor that few people understood or even noticed. And last, every month's haircut, we would have our own time together, it was a pleasure Grandpa, to be your grandson! With Love, Nicky

No matter what I will always remember you! Now that you're in a better place nothing can hurt you! You were the best and I love you!
Love your Granddaughter,

Dear Dad,(well you used to be my Dad for a long time).I will always remember how Rino and Sal used to play tricks on you and make you laugh, and how when you smiled you always had a little twinkle in your eye. i remember how patient and kind you were with your first grandson, Nicholas when he was little, he always wanted to be with you in the garden...im glad you are at peace now,no more pain and suffering and now you just have to rest. Your love and guidance helped your sons grow and now they must use the strength of your love to to continue their lives, and watch over Momma. Funny thing is I still that twinkle but I think its the sun shining in your eyes in the garden of Angels....love, Marianne

Dear Dad in heaven:
You are now at peace. No more pain can come to you. We already miss you and your Italian accent. I want to tell you that you raised a good family with solid morales and integrity.
May God let you have part of heaven to grow your garden that you loved so much.
Until the day we all meet... by just for awhile, but you will always be here with Momma, Sal, me and you grandchildren.
With love,
your son Rino.

Dear Dad,
It's 15 years since you left us. Sometimes it feels like 1.5 years and other times it feels like 150 years. I think of the many things you did in your lifetime.... some small and other big. Paneling the living room in the old house. Every year planting so many vegetable plants, namely the famous peppers and tomatoes.
I do my best to plant a dozen tomato plants (you planted a dozen x dozen) and make some sauce in your memory.
Continue to rest in God's loving embrace.
Love u always, Rino
