My dearest family in Canada, especially Walter , Lisa and Michael, sending my most heartfelt prayers and condolences during this most difficult time in your life. Zio Paolo was not only a kind hearted uncle but also my inspiring godfather! Although he lived in Canada and my family resides in the USA , we would somehow always call to wish each other Merry Christmas or Happy Easter ( Buon Natale, or Buona Pasqua). But also on other occasions Zio would just call to see how things are. Somehow the conversations lasted well over 30 mins, and he would always give me his beautiful words of wisdom which I will always cherish in my heart, Zio would say, encouragingly, Well, just do your best everyday and take it one day at a time and be patient... Truly, these words of encouragement would carry me throughout the day and throughout my life and somehow I can still hear him saying that to me right now as we are all connected in spirit. I will miss him very much!
I am praying unceasingly for Zio's family to ask God to give them strength during this most difficult time. Surely Zio Paolo is looking down from heaven and saying: " Do your best and take it one day at a time." Thank you Zio Paolo for being the best godfather in the world!
You will always be close to my heart .
Sending my dear family in Canada all my love and deepest Sympathy.
Keeping you all in prayer,
Maria
