Dad,
You lived a life of integrity
and strength with your
unwavering character.
To me you were more than a
father, you were my True Icon, someone whose presence shaped me, whose wisdom guided me, and whose love anchored me. You were the
person I looked up to, the
person I learned from
and the person whose
footsteps I will always try to
follow. Thank-You for being
the father you were,
for every sacrifice, every
conversation, and for every
moment of love. You lived
your values every day, not
because you sought praise
but because it was simply
who you were. Your legacy
will live on in me and
everyone you touched.
Love You, Anthony
Special Hero,
When I was a baby, you would hold me in your arms.
I felt the love and tenderness,
keeping me safe from harm.
I would look up into your
eyes and all the love I would
see, How did I get so lucky?
You were the Dad chosen for me. Love, Patrizia
To Dad,
Thank you for being such a
special and steady presence
in my life. Your love, strength,
and the family values you
taught me have shaped who I
am. I promise to honour
those lessons and take care
of our family, just as you
always did. I will miss your
guidance more than words
can say, and I carry your
advice with me always. You
will live on in our hearts, Dad.
Love your son Adrian
To my beloved Nonno,
you were always a kind
hearted and awesomely
strong person, your
generosity knew no bounds
and even with your illness
you never stopped loving and
caring for the people around.
Let the end of life not
define the many, many
wonderful years you have
lived, and the time we have
spent together. I, and many
others will always remember
you in our hearts.
Love, and rest well,
your granddaughter.
My Nonno was a hard
working and kind man who
lived an amazing life and
even when he was diagnosed
with his illness, he was still
kind and patient with
everyone around him.
My Nonno was an amazing
human being and we all love
him, Dylan
Nonno was funny and made
me laugh, I had fun with him,
Love Zakariya
Nonno always kissed me
and I didn’t like it but I love
Nonno, Isaac
