Aged 93 years
Dad you passed away peacefully,
surrounded by your loving children, grandchildren and family.
We thank God for the many years, treasured memories,
and the life lessons you taught us. You were a strong, hardworking,
and caring man who always put your
family first.
You were the person we could turn to for help,
advice, or a practical solution, and there seemed to be nothing you couldn't fix.
Your devotion to our mother throughout her illness was a true reflection of
your loyalty, strength, and love.
As the proud father of five children and a much-loved nonno
and bis-nonno, your greatest joy was your family.
We will remember your generosity, wisdom, determination,
and the love and care you showed us.
You leave behind a legacy of love and resilience,
and we will forever miss the Sunday lunches you prepared
for us all.
Dad, you will be deeply missed,
lovingly remembered, and forever held
in all our hearts.
Now resting in God's loving care.
Ti amo sempre Frank and Silvana, Anna,
Margie and John,
Irene and Jerome,
Tony and Nancy.
Dearest Nonno, You were an inspiration to us all.
Your discipline, determination and incredible work ethic
taught us the value of hard work and perseverance.
You led by example and showed us
what it means to provide for and care for family.
Your kindness, generosity and sense of humour
brought so much joy to our lives.
We will always remember your stories, your jokes
and the way you could make us laugh.
You had a gift for bringing people together,
and your love for family was felt by every one of us.
We learnt so much from you, Nonno,
and will carry those lessons with us forever.
One of your greatest achievements was the beautiful family you created with Nonna –
an army of children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren
who will continue to honour your legacy.
You will be forever loved, forever missed and forever in our hearts.
Nonno, may you rest in eternal peace and be r
eunited with the love of your life once again.
Love always and forever,
Your grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Thank you to the staff of
Milpara, Dr Carfora and my Home Hospital for their care.
IN GOD'S CARE
