Carlo's words

When we moved to London we left our most precious belongs safely in Europe until we settled in the UK. Our precious daughters who are Carlo and Diane's God children (affectionately called fairy God mother and Fairy God father )arrived 2 weeks ago to start our lives as a family in London. They brought with them our valuable worldly possessions. while unpacking we found a book that Carlo had given to Craig a few months ago. Carlo had underlined the words that he felt most important and we would like to share those with you. Reading the words now optimise the man that Carlo is and always will be in our hearts.
" I think you are a pretty wonderful guy ! you re someone I dearly love
I somehow managed to be blessed with the best one of all
We forged a bond that time cannot erase. You can never know how proud I am
to tell the world "that is my brother" but I am even prouder to say "that is my friend"
I wish you confidence when things are tough or when you think of giving up
patience with your own trials and temptations and with others. I wish you beauty in your surroundings and in nature, and excitement- with new things to enjoy and learn and experience.... fun laughter and smiles , and people to share your happiness and sorrows. I wish you Health (underlined Twice) - mental physical and emotional, peace with others and yourself, and love- pure unconditional and eternal. Your happiness is a wish I carry for you wherever I go. Determine the measure of a man by how much you trust him and believe in him, and by how much his life enhances yours."signed " I will always love you Carlo "
Carlo you have enhanced so many lives ! The words you have used are our wonderful memories of you. We miss you.
