To my darling wife Anna, words can not express how much I miss you. I loved you then, and I love you now and forever. Rest in Peace, your loving husband, Alfredo.
Mum, we were so heartbroken. Watching you slip away, you fought so hard to stay. We’re so proud of your courage and strength
in those final moments.
You were the best mother, Nonna & Bis Nonna. The heart and soul of our family and without you, life is hard to imagine. The family values you taught us all, even in your times of sorrow you showed us the strength and to be humble. Your kind and gentle soul is the legacy you leave behind, and our only comfort is knowing you are at peace.
Your loving children.
Dear Nonna, you have no idea how much we are going to miss you. Your warm hugs, your gentle touch, loving personality and always
with open arms.
We are so sad we will never be able to eat your amazing food again. We will never forget your beautiful smile and laughter. You taught us what unconditional love is and how to put your family first. It’s not fair that you left us too soon, but you will always remain in our memories. We love you
with all our hearts.
Your loving grand children.
Dear Bis Nonna, we are so blessed to have had you in our lives. Even if for a short time. From tea parties to baking cookies.
We will miss you.
Your loving great grandchildren.
To hear your voice, to see you smile, to sit and talk with you for a while. Your gentle touch and wise words will be missed. To be together in the same old way would be our greatest wish today.
Forever in our hearts.
No lutto please.
