Dad, I can't believe you are gone. I'm still in disbelieve that you are no longer here with us. (I do know you are here in spirit.) As I sit here, writing in your guestbook entry for your funeral. I want you to know how much you are loved. Especially, by your children, grandchildren, siblings, family & friends. You will forever be in our hearts. I know God gained a angle today and I know you will watch over us. I Miss you already... love you daddy! With Love always & forever, your little girl Elizabeth xo

Dear Leonarda, Elizabeth, Jason and Michael, I am so sorry for your loss. Manny was such a wonderful man, everyone loved him. He always had a smile on his face and was so kind. He had a way to make everyone feel special. He displayed a genuine love for life and of utmost respect to everyone. I was with you virtually during his mass today and my heart broke for all of you. Especially Leonarda. Yes he definitely gave you a good life and a wonderful family. You were such a lovely couple and were truly blessed. The love you two shared was undeniable. I will keep you all in my prayers during this must difficult time. Again, I’m so sorry we couldn’t be there physically due to this terrible pandemic. Please stay safe and stay strong. God has his plan and we must accept it. Meanwhile lean on those who love you, and we are here for you anytime you need. Hope to see you soon and give big hugs. God bless you today and always.

Mrs. Demelo, I am saddened to learn of this news. My condolences and prayers are with you, Elizabeth, Jason and all of your family. I have fond memories from my childhood of Mr. Demelo.
