You’re in my heart –

Joe, Lisa, Joey and the entire Rebeschi family-
When the loss of a loved one is experienced, there are truly no words that can be spoken to ease the pain or fill the hole left in the hearts of the family members left to grieve. The memories of wonderful times spent together will always be there for those left behind to mourn, at times these memories will bring solace, and at other times they will bring an ache so strong that it will take your breath away, longing for just one more moment of what used to be. Stay strong in knowing that the love you all shared will live on in each of your hearts, and remember that you will be together again, forever! He was a wonderful man, whose love for each one of you was evident in the sparkle of his eyes. May he rest in peace !
