My dearest Papa, our hearts are broken into a thousand pieces.
You have been the most inspirational man in our lives always guiding us with your love.
You showed us strength, courage and determination and you fought so hard to stay with us right to the very end.
I will miss that smile, laugh, our daily visits, always with coffee and biscotti, but most of all I will miss the soft beautiful touch of your hands.
Requiescat in Pace my beautiful Papa
Your loving daughter Angela
