Happy Father's Day Dad!!! You are in my thoughts daily and I continue to miss you deeply. Oh, how I wish you were with me.. so many problems I have and not able to see your face, hear your wisdom or have your comfort to help me bear all I am going through...Two days before the 15th, a white butterfly stayed with me for 2 days, out of nowhere he appeared, and stayed close to me. I know and felt it was your presence, it was persistant and would not leave me. I felt happy knowing you were around me. I love you, miss you and am thankful for the butterfly visits you give me..Please stay with me, guide and protect me until the day we will be together again. Love you always, your daughter Annette xoxoxo

Dad, Happy Father's Day...I realize it is early wishing you a Happy Father's Day, but you are on my mind and in my thoughts daily. The month of June in which you passed is hurtful to me, and over and over in my head I relive you leaving me on the 15th of June. Oh, how I wish for one more time to hear your voice, talk with you, see you and spend time with you..I cherish our conversations about many things...you were so intelligent and supported me through good and bad times of my life. I truly never realized how lonely and alone I would be or feel without you being here for me. I miss you, and say a prayer for you and mom everyday. I carry you both in my heart and thoughts daily. I am so sad to lose great parents like you both, my tears are daily and the memories of us all together are locked in my heart. One more day is all I wish for....one more day.....love and miss you.  Your daughter, Annette xo

Dad...today flooded me with so many memories of happier times spent with you..it is the 3rd anniversary of your passing. And again, this weekend is Father's Day and you are not here to share it with me. I miss you, think of you daily and wish I could spend time with you. My only joy, which bought tears to my eyes today, was a white butterfly that followed me all over the yard. I know you heard me say, "Thanks for visiting Dad! I know it was you, and I was happy even if it was for a short time. I know you are paling around with your buddy Nicky B. as he left the earth last March. You guys are having a fun time. Stay close to me as I continue to need your assistance, caring and love. I miss you so much, my heart aches. Thanks again for the visit today, it brought me comfort and I believe. Love ya, your daughter Annette.

Happy Birthday dad! I thought of you most of the day, and said a "special birthday prayer" for you. I see you in my mind daily and only wish I could spend another day with you to talk, share thoughts and listen to your inspiring wisdom. Oh, how I cry for the chance of "one more time."
You are always with me, and when I see an unusual butterfly, out of nowhere, come towards me, I know it is you visiting me, I then, don't feel alone. I know you are there. Miss and love you, happy birthday! Light and Blessings, I love you.....your daughter

Dad...Happy Father's Day! It's been two years since you have gone. It continues to feel like yesterday. You are sadly missed by me everyday and night. Today is empty without you, only memories. Oh, how I miss you and still continue to need you in my life...my heart breaks and tears flow from my eyes. You were a good father, grandfather to Richie and husband. It was your time to leave this earth, but I was not ready for you to go. One day I will see you and Mom again. Missing you so much. Stay close to me for continuance of guidance, help and strength. I love and miss you.

Annette, I never recall meeting you, but I knew your dad. He and my father Art were childhood freinds in S. Philadelphia many many years ago, I can remember your dad stopping by here in Collingswood and they would both talk of the things they did as kids. Your dad was such a nice person. I lost my dad Art Mercurio in January of this year too. I can only think they are together in heaven
