Merry Christmas in heaven Dad. This is our first Christmas apart. It is vrey painful and lonely without you. I've been thinking all week about how we used to start the cooking early. All of us met at your house. How you used to shop like crazy to make sure everyone had a great holiday. It will never be the same without you. The kids miss you terribly. We talk about you always Dad. About all the great memories we made together.  I love you with all my heart Dad and will never stop missing you.

Well this time last year you were slipping away. Now everyday from here on is the memory of me not knowing how it will all end. Those were heart wrenching days watching you suffer. But Im so happy you're not suffering anymore. Yes I miss you and think of you every single day. I feel you near me always. I grieve every day that you are gone. Sometimes I don't know how to go through life because I've never had to do it alone. I always had you behind me. It feels very lonely without you. Sometimes I feel like my world has crumbled before me. I love you Dad and will never be used to you being gone. Tell Jimmy I miss him and love him and I will be writing again on Christmas. I love you forever!!

Dad I just wanted to say I miss you so much. I love you beyond words could ever say. Things have been so-so. I miss Billy Boy alot. He's living with his Dad now. Everything has changed since you're gone. I wish you were here. I miss all the times we laughed together and even all the times we cried. I'm trying to stay strong, because that's how you taught me to be. Just sometimes when life throws curve balls at ya..Well you know how that is. But I'm trying to be the strong woman you raised me to be. I miss you Dad. I miss your smile. Your eyes used to light up everytime you smiled. I see that in Lil Billy too. He's so much like you Dad. Well I pray the Angels are embracing you. I love you so much and tell Jimmy I love him and miss him.

Dad I miss you so much. Thought by now it would get a little easier but I guess not. I think of you all the time. Chayse asked me the other day if I still missed you and I told her I would miss you for the rest of my life. Billy is going thru a very bad time. I wish you were here for him. I just know how you would have gotten us thru. You were the strength for all of us Dad. You kept it all together and made sense out of what seemed so hopeless. I love you with all my heart and soul. Love Elaine...

Dad this will be my first Father's Day without you. I'm not dealing with this very well. I cannot express in enough words what a GREAT Father you always were. You were above all Dad. There was nothing you wouldn't do for me and I thank you so much for that. You used to tell me that one day I will wish for all the years back again. How right you were. I would give anything to have you here again. I miss you terribly, I think of you always. Not a day goes by that you are not mentioned. I remember all the Father's Days, every holiday I spent with you. I keep ALL of them close to my heart. You gave so much to me Dad, you taught me so much. I love you so very much and pray that we will see each other one day soon. Love your daughter....

Dad, not a day goes by that I don't miss you and wish you were here. Life is difficult without you. I think of all the memories we made through the years. I think of all the times we laughed and about Jimbo. All the fun times you had with Billy and Chayse. There is so much to remember Dad, and  I really miss you alot. I still can't believe you are gone. I don't know why God had to take you so soon but it sure wasn't fair. You were such a great Dad and Papa. I will always miss you and love you Dad. Love your daughter

Happy Easter Dad. This is the first Easter without you. I miss you more than words can say. It won't be the same without you. But all the beautiful memories you gave, I will keep and carry on with Billy and Chayse. They love you and miss you so much. Happy Easter in Heaven Dad. I love you.

Dad I miss you beyond words. Some days are just so difficult to deal. I think about you always. Every minute of the day. Wish so bad we had more time. You were my hero and I will love and adore you the rest of my life.  I love you so very much. Love your daughter.

Dad I love you so very much and miss you beyond words. Me and Michael talk about you everyday. The kids miss their Papa terribly. We just can't believe we will never see you again. This is so difficult. I do thank God that we had such a special bond. I will never forget ALL that you have done for me. You are forever in my heart Dad. Love your only daughter...

HI HON I MISS YOU SO MUCH NO WORDS COULD EVER DISCRIBE JUST HOW MUCH I AM DOING WHAT I PROMISED ALTHO IT IS SO HARD SOMETIMES.I LOVE YOU.

Dad, I love you and think of you always. You gave me and the kids so many beautiful memories. I think of all of them, always. Whether I'm driving in the car, or just being at home. The fun, the laughter, even the tears. Your giving of yourself can never be compared. You truly were a wonderful father and I only pray I can one day give to my children as you have given to me and my brothers. Billy and Chayse miss you so much. It is so difficult to be strong while I watch them cry. They loved you dearly dad and they will always remember their Papa. They talk about you always. You were everything to them and it has been difficult watching them try to adjust to life without you in it.  I thank you Dad for all that you gave to me and my children. All the love you gave, we will hold dear forever. I pray you sleep with the Angels tonight Dad. I will love you forever. Love your daughter...

Dad I miss you so much. Everyday is difficult without you being here. I try so hard to handle my situations without you but I remember how I always ran to you. Now you are gone and it hurts. I always loved and adored you Dad. And I always will. You were the best Dad a daughter could want. I love you...Love always your daughter....

Dad, I love and miss you so very much. I still can't believe you are gone. I thought you would always be here. It's difficult here without you. I miss your words, your toughness, and your advice. I pray you are happy with Jimmy. I know how much you missed him everyday. Please watch over Billy and Chayse. They miss you so much and still are so saddened by your passing. They talk about you every single day. I thank you so much for being a wonderful Papa to them. I love you Dad... Love your daughter...

JIMMY  I LOVE AND MISS YOU SO MUCH YOU WERE AND ARE THE LOVE OF MY LIFE FOREVER MISSING YOU MY LOVE

Dear Elaine, Billy & Chayse, Fran and Entire Family of James Calabrese... Please accept my deepest condolences and sincerest prayers for comfort and grace on your loss.  We believe in the "Blessed Hope" that one day in Christ we shall all be together again.

I am very sorry to hear about Jimmy.  He was a great man and my thoughts and prayers are with your family.

My Hero, Dad.. I loved and worshiped you my whole life. I thought you were untouchable. I cannot express how deeply my heart aches because you are gone now. I don't know how I will manage without you and your words of wisdom that carried me through so many difficult times. You were always there, no matter how far. I will always remember all the good memories, great memories. So so many memories. 
Billy and Chayse will miss you so very much. They already do. They know how much you loved them. I know how much you loved them. You gave them so much Dad. And out of all that you gave them, it was the Love that meant more than anything. You treasured them from the day they were born and they treasured you every minute. If nothing else, they knew and know that their Papa loved them unconditionally.  That alone is a treasure.
I will always love you Dad and I will always keep our memories in my heart. You were my hero, and you will always be my hero.  I LOVE YOU !!
                                                      Your daughter.....Elaine
