Riposa in Pace

Vincenzo,

la mia vita non è più normale come prima, senza di te.

Abbiamo passato anni felici, sempre insieme.

Non so come ringraziarti di tutto l’affetto

che hai avuto per me per sessantotto anni.

Ti amo sempre. Tua moglie, Francesca.

Dear Dad, our hearts are broken.

Never could we have prepared ourselves

for saying goodbye, having watched you fight countless battles

and pull through so many times.

Your determination and will to live

and enjoy life was infectious,

inspiring and courageous.

You lived life beautifully.

You were a brilliant man,

devoted wholeheartedly to your family.

You gave us endless kindness,

warmth and patience,

and your love was felt in everything you did.

Saying goodbye to you feels impossible.

How lucky we were to have you in our lives.

We will forever treasure the countless occasions,

memories and special moments we were so fortunate

to share with you.

We will forever love you, and forever miss you.

Until we meet again, Dad.

To our forever brave,

forever fast and forever strong Nonno.

You won every running race,

every arm wrestle and were brave

until the very end.

In your final week you brought us

together beside you, in sadness,

but also with so much joy.

We are so very lucky we got to hold onto you for so long,

still riding your tractor just a couple of years ago.

You will be missed more than words can say,

but you will never be forgotten.

We love you Nonno ❤️
