Dear Frances and Fabio,
I will always remember your dad for bringing such joy to all of us whenever he was in the room and in town. He had the best stories, the biggest laugh and the energy of a lion. I always loved to see him together with my dad. Even with distance, it always seemed they had such a close bond. I will miss him. And we miss all of you and wish you peace now that he is gone. We are all thinking of you.
Lots of love,
Cousin Rosy and my family (Howard, Stefano and Jordan)
Baci!
