In loving memory of Italo Vito  Mariani, loving husband, father, and Little Nonno. Vito, I cannot begin to tell you how much your family misses you.  When you left you left your whole family with broken hearts.  Our children cry for their father and I still cry for the man I loved for 42 yrs.  Our grandson Gian Carlo wants to know when  when his Little Nonno is coming back from Heaven.  You were a wonderful father and husband who put his family first before anything.  You made sure that our son Eddie graduated from college and he did on June 19th, 2006.  Unfortunately you were not there.  I know you were there in spirit.  That had to be one of the most difficult days of my life, happy yet sad.  You were and always will be the love of my life.  I pray that God will find me worthy enough so I can be with you again.  I will love you till the day I die. Until we meet again.

I love you,

Antoinette
