  5. My nonno, you were and will always be my everything, and between us, I know I was your favourite grandchild ;) I’m going to miss walking into your house, showing you my face and instantly seeing your beautiful smile from ear to ear.. putting your arm out to either grab my hand or put it on my cheek and yell “bella.” I know you will be there to watch over me while I go through life, and I hope you are proud of the women I become, and who I marry of course because that’s the one thing you always asked me. “Have you got a boyfriend, I want to meet him, I need to be the first person they meet, because I know if he’s a true man by how he shakes my hand.” You always had the most wise words to say about life and my future, something I will forever cherish about you. I love you nonno, I know you are finally at peace xx

  11. Dad
    You were the best father-in law anyone could ask for. You loved me like a daughter and for that I am grateful.
    I will never forget the first time we met when you straight away asked me to make you a cup of coffee at Neil’s office. Little did I know at the time you were testing me! I’m so glad I passed the test because I had your approval from day one.
    Dad, you were an amazing man and an inspiration to all. Words alone cannot express the love and respect I have for you. I will miss you terribly.
    Thank you so much dad, for everything.
    Rest in peace.
    Your loving daughter-in law Tessa.

  14. Mrs Prestipino and family,
    I send my heart felt sympathy to you all and I do know how broken all your hearts will be at this very, very sad and dark time.
    Looking back many years ago when l was just 15, Mr Prestipino and family and the Hyland St Licensed grocery store was a very special part of my life, it was a job that l loved and l have the most fondest memories of that time way back in the 70’s. Since them l have held jobs in glamorous and beautiful stores but my years with Mr Prestipino and Hyland St were the best.
    Mr Prestipino, l thankyou for those years, love from your Eileena ( Eileen Brand )
