I will miss you so very much. It’s hard to believe that you are not with us anymore. I feel like I’m in a dream and haven’t awakened from it yet, but it is real and as the tears continuously roll down my face, I soon realize you aren’t coming back. You endured so much suffering this past week and now it is all over and our lives somehow have to carry on without you. The one thing I cling to is that one day I know I will see you again and that is what truly gives me my hope and peace within my soul. I will always hold onto the fond memories I have of my father who is and always will be so very special to me and our family. Dad, you will be kept hidden in my heart until the day I am with you. I will love you endlessly and treasure my Dad forever.
Uncle Pat, and Family-I will miss you very much, know how much you were loved and will be missed. I will cherish the days we had lunch together at work, for so many years. You will always be alive in my heart~
Auntie Anna Marie, Gail, Pat, Carol and family I would like to extend my deepest Sympathy to you all. Your Dad was a wonderful & kind man. I know he will be lost by you all. I remember when my dad was very sick, my uncle Pat was there everyday by my dad’s side. They had a special bond. They will be together again. I know it is not easy for you all. But he is at peace. Hold onto all the memories of him. He always had a smile for everyone. I will keep you all in my daily prayers. Love your cousin Jackie

You are now Aunt AnnMarie’s, Gail, Pat Carol and all the grandkids and Giada’s Guardian Angel..May you rest in peace Uncle Pat and know that I Love You and Will Miss You and will always be there for your family forever and always…
So sorry to hear about Uncle Pat. I know he is with his brothers and sisters resting in peace. His legacy and good memories will always live on.
Love you Uncle Pat. You will be missed. Will never forget your smiling face.
Our thoughts and prayers are for the entire Amarone family and especially for you Annie. Sending all our love and hugs from the angels.
My deepest sympathies to the Amarone family. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time.
Dad where do I begin. Maybe back in the days when you marched right beside me in every single parade while I twirled my baton. How proud you always were & I as well. I came home only a few months ago so we could help each other out & not a single day went by without you asking me how I felt. Words can’t even begin to express the emptiness in my heart & in our home. You fought until the end Dad & I know you suffered. My only comfort now is to know you are with Jesus & God in a beautiful place where there is no sickness or sadness. Until we meet again my father know that my LOVE for you will never fade…….Love your daughter Gail
