Dear Dad,
It has now been a few days since God has taken you on your journey to a new life in Heaven.  You are now at peace in the Lords presence and pain free.  You are now reunited with your beloved Gloria, whom you had missed so much. 
It is said that The Lord Works in Mysterious Ways and I truly believe that, as it took a hardship in my life that led me to being close by to help take care of and spend time with you the past two years.  I will always cherish that time as I was able to see and spend time with you most every day.   I will forever remember you saying you love me when it was so difficult for you to speak and you squeezing my hand to let me know that you heard me say I love you.  The son becomes the father and the father becomes the son.  Michael and I were happy to care for you dad, there was no other place we wanted you to be. 
You were such a good man and father.  You proved to be an excellent provider and you wanted a better life for your children then what you and your parents had.  You taught your children to work hard and not take anything for granted, to be respectful to others and to look out for each other.  You instilled in us the importance of family and not to let anything come between us.  You always said that “Family is the most important thing”.  You had done so much for your children throughout our lives, helped us in so many ways.  We always knew you would provide for and protect us.
I will think of the wonderful memories of both you and mom for the remainder of my days.  There are so many beautiful photographs and movies to look at that will bring happiness to me and remind me of the love you both brought to our family.  From summers in Lake Carmel and Florida to family vacations and gatherings, there are so many happy moments to look back on.  I am so happy that you got to spend some time with my daughter Abigail last year and I will be telling her stories of her Grandfather so she knows of and remembers you for the man that you truly are.
Dad, I miss you and miss hearing your voice but I remind myself that you are now in a better place and you are at peace.  You have no more worries.   We will be together again.  Until then, watch over us and guide us along the way.
Love you Dad
Your son, John
Oh, The Mets are in the World Series, can you believe it!!

Grandpa,
You welcomed me into the family from day 1, and I am so grateful for your warm embrace!  I’m always touched that you ask about my parents and brother.  You have a warm and gentle smile.  Thank you for your love!

Gramp, 
I am so thankful that Patty and I were able to visit you at the end of August. It brought me great joy to tell you in person I was engaged and we are getting married. There are so many memories I have over the years with you and Gram. From being a little kid and going next door in Carmel to be babysat, visiting in PA as I started to grow up, going to the condo in Hollywood when I was visiting JWU as a graduate…to helping clear out the condo. There were so many small random items in that condo I kept that had memories tied to them. I can remember your smile when you laugh so vividly. I loved the way you and Gram use to bicker over the smallest things sometimes. I can only hope that the love and integrity and bond you two had will be similiar for Patty and myself for our future. Thank you and Gram for looking out for me over the years and everything you have done for me. 
Give Gram a Kiss for Me, Love you, Anthony

Hey Gramps-
In the Bible it says “the days of our lives are 70 and if by reason of strength 80” (Psalm 90)—you made it an extra 10!  Not many grandchildren have their grandparents in their lives for as long as I have.  I am very grateful for that.  You have always been steadfast and committed.  I’ve learned the value of diligence from you as well as your insight into seeing things very practically.
Later in Psalm 90 it says for us to “teach us to number our days that we may gain a heart of wisdom.”  Looking back on the years together and now looking forward to what God has in store, my prayer is to redeem the time until we meet again…
Love you!
Raymond

“If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back again and take you to Myself, so that where I am you also may be”
(John 14:13)
We trust and believe through His promise that you safely made your breath taking journey back whole,   and wonderfully back with Gloria. What a most precious Christmas gift this year for her! On a quiet ride home I want to express a quiet request I got from Jerron…he soley requested “to have (his) birthday in PA in 2016”. You shared Birthday months and that is quite an incredible honor he has given to you! He relenquishes his beloved Minne HaHa to you now. A special honor from a special grandson.  You were his world “Vitorocco”. We now shed tears of joy…for Heaven is just the beginning.
Stay well, love Jerron and Rhonda

To My Father, my Dad
We know why Mom left us first, so that she could greet you in heaven. You are now reunited with your beloved Gloria, all your friends, family and the Lord. It was so difficult to look into those tired eyes, 90 years on this earth, now I am so happy for you that you no longer suffer, you are in a much better place. I miss you terribly. I have fond memories of you, Dad, how you took me to church at St Boniface every Sunday starting when I was just young boy which help set the foundation of my life. You taught me how to play ball, we played catch together, you took me to my little league games. You taught me about wood working, we made and fixed stuff together. You gave me the opportunity to go to college. We had so much fun, the summers in Florida and Upstate/Lake Carmel. You taught me to do the right thing. You set an example by doing, taking care of your loved ones, your family. You taught me the importance of family. You did such a good job Dad, I will never forget. You worked hard to give your family the opportunity to have a good life and you took care of your family to the very end, and then some. Your work here on this earth is done, your work in heaven has now just begun. Watch over us all Dad and continue to guide us with your love. You were a good kind hearted man, all in all you were just being our Dad. When I grow up I want to be just like you! I will never say good bye only that I will see you later. Miss you and love you very much, always!  Thank you Dad, I am proud to be your number 1 (first born) son, Gerard. Say Hi to Mom, miss her to.
Oh and by the way, Jerron says he wants to visit you and Mom in heaven, he says Hi and sends his love! Vit-Toe-Ricco

Dear Gramps, 
 
It’s hard to put into words how losing both you and grandma have affected all of our lives.  Nothing will ever be the same. I already miss hearing your voice, but I’m so thankful that I was able to hear you say, “I love you,” to me for the last time.  I guess being the oldest has some advantages…you were there for me throughout my life’s big moments…graduating college, getting married, having the kids, and for that, I am forever grateful.  I always looked forward to spending the winter’s together, where my children got to know and love you, as I always will. Thank you for all of your great advise over the years and for the lessons you’ve taught me. Thank you for being a good man, and for being an example to all of us.  Although your journey here on Earth is over, a new, incredible one has begun.  I may not like it, but I know you’re in a much better place, reunited with grandma, and you can finally say, “Come on, Glor,” once again.  I’m sorry I can’t be there at your final resting place, but you know where my heart is.  I will always treasure the time that we spent together, and will always keep your memory alive. Until we meet again…I love and will miss you greatly.

To My Dearest Daddy, From the day I was born till the day you left this earth, you were the man in my life.  I expressed to you many times how I was so grateful and thankful to you for taking care of me throughout my life.  You showed your love for me right up till the last days of you being unable to speak.  Words are words, but your actions of love outweighed all of that.  Reaching for my hands, while yours were shaking, and bringing my hands in yours up to your mouth to kiss me will NEVER be forgotten.  Daddy, you taught me to be strong and never give up.  You set before me examples of life that you yourself followed.  And for this I will be forever grateful.  It was my joy to watch and care for you when you couldn’t.  Daddy, your new journey has begun.  And oh how amazing to be in the presence of the God who created you, His son Jesus, who sacrificed his life for all mankind  and was raised from the grave so that WE could all be united in heaven one day with Him and our loved ones for all eternity.  No more tears, no more pain, a new heavenly body was promised to those who believe.  I am so happy for you Daddy that you are also united with Mama and all your family members.  I will love you FOREVER.  Until we meet again in the heavens.  Your “peanut”  Nadine

My Beloved Father – no words can express the emptiness felt in my heart and the love that I feel for you.  I kept several of your voices messages and listen to them every now and again which will bring me much comfort.  It’s hard to put thoughts together during this sad but peaceful time.  I know you are home with mom, your beloved Gloria, so no sorrow or sadness just comfort that you are reunited.  There is so much to say…no good byes – just so long for now.  You tried to stay with us as long as you could, but mom’s desire to have you with her was a much stronger love.  It was an honor and privilege to be able to take care of you as you have done for all of us over the years.  You taught us to be a strong and loving family.  We will miss you terribly.  Watch over  us.  I love you – forever, your loving daughter, Angela
