Caro Papà, non so davvero come dirti addio.
Eri sempre presente, fisso e costante, ora è difficile immaginare la vita senza
la tua presenza.
Mi mancherai in tutti i quei momenti quotidiani, ma porterò sempre nel cuore tutto ciò che mi hai regalato.

aiutata in tutto.

To our Nonno caro,
Words will never be enough to express how much we will miss you.
You were truly one of a kind, you were gentle, and loved by everyone who knew you.
That will always be your legacy.
We will forever miss coming to visit you and finding you doing your crosswords, and the beautiful vegetables you would give us from your garden.
We will carry you with us in everything we do and hold you close in our hearts.
We know how much Mum would have been missing you, she always loved you so much, her Papa.
We find comfort in the fact that you are in each others arms again.
Rest peacefully with Mum
and Nonna.
We will never forget you.
Natasha & Isaac and
Daniel & Renee.
Nell'abbraccio di Dio.
