Forever loved and remembered
By all his nieces, nephews, relatives
And friends in Australia, Italy, Canada and USA.
God saw that you were weary
He did what he thought best
And gently held you in his arms
And said come with me and rest.
You are now reunited with mum.
Love always Grace, Paul, Adam and Matthew.
With tears we saw you suffer, we watched you fade away
Our hearts were slowly breaking, as you fought so hard to stay
You did not want to leave us
But you did not go alone
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home
Thank you Dad/Nonno for those precious years.
Love you forever and always.
Give Mum a big hug and kiss for us.
Your son Ross, Ninette, Sebastian and Stefan
