This is my second message to you. I want to tell you how much we all miss you. My father and mother miss you dearly. I didn't spend much time thinking about your passing until recently. Instead of being sad over it, I cherish the times I spent with you and my grandfather. We spent more time around you both than most grandchildren ever do and for that I will always remember the good memories. I remember the trips to the lake with all of the cousins, family get togethers and all the meals you prepared. You were very proud of your Italian heritage and even though you couldn't speak a lot of Italian, you told me some great stories about your father and mother. Cooking was your passion but so was helping your family. Thank you for everything.
Love your grandson,
Bryant Machowski
