My Dear Loving Wife,
I will miss you so much.
You have made the past 63 years the best of my life.
You are the strongest person I know, and you have fought your toughest fight in the last 13 years to stay with me, our children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
You could fight no more and have been received by the arms of God, and I know this because there would be no soul more pure, honest, or loving than yours.
We will meet again in the Kingdom of God, until then I will hold you in my heart. With love, your husband, Carmelo.
A special thanks to the people who helped keep you with me and fought the battle with us.
Dr. Brian Stien, Dr. Helen Lynn, Dr. Charles Hodge, Dr. Kevin Palumbo, and
Dr Amanda Terry.
To all of the team at Estia Care Burton, I cannot express how grateful I am for all the care, love and attention you gave Giuseppina and myself.
Forever in our hearts
NO LUTTO PLEASE
