My father

Post by fran65 »

Hello friends,
let me share with you these days of sadness for the death of my father Giovanni, 83, on June 4, after eight days of agony due to a stroke.
He was a Carabiniere and his desire has always been to fly. We flew together a few years ago, with a small Cessna 150. He was strong and patient, taught me to be honest. I will miss him.
We will meet again dad.

Fran,
That is sad news indeed.
Condolences to you and others in your family.
Loved ones can so often be taken without forewarning.
I'm sure that you will treasure flying with your Father for always.
Cheers, Mike.

Very sad to read that you have lost your Father, Fran.
I lost my Dad a couple of years ago, so I understand the pain and distress you will be feeling at the moment.
Treasure your memories and the happy times that you had together.
My condolences to you and your family.

Condolences to you Francescom, lovely photograph of your father and one to be extremely proud of.

Sadly your father has been taken away from you but the memories can't be, so treasure them always.

Regards
