Hi Papa,
I've been thinking about you and Mimi a lot lately. Things have been really difficult without you both right upstairs. Mom hasn't been the same since you both left, and what hurts is that this isn't something I can help her heal from. I just hope she knows how proud you would both be of her and that you're always going to be by her side.
I'm getting married next month. Right? Who would have thought? You would both adore him. He reminds me of you so much. He's kind, gentle, and is always so generous, just like you were. I wish you were able to see me get married, but I know that you'll still be with me on that day, even if it's not in the way I had thought you would be.
I hope you know how much I miss you, and that I think about you all the time. I still remember all of the fun we had, and know that you do, as well. I love you, and will always remember your impact on me and our entire family.
Until we meet again, Papa. I love you.

Hi, Papa. I’ve somehow found myself on this page, and have tried to figure out what to say. It’s been a few years, but I still think of you often. It’s weird knowing that you aren’t in the other room, and that I can’t make you laugh anymore. But, I know that you’re in a place where you feel yourself again, and that’s all I could ever hope for you. I just hope you know how much I miss you and pray that you’re smiling down at all of us. I love you, Papa.

If anyone were to ask me about my father, I would start by saying I could not have hand picked a better one. He was kind to a fault, loving beyond words and a gentle, giving man. In all my years, I have never heard a single person say a bad word about him. He was a hard worker with the strongest worth ethic I have ever seen. He use to tell me ‘if you find yourself at work with nothing to do’, pick up a broom and keep busy, there is always something to be done. He never missed a day of work and took pride in everything he did. He provided a great life for his family and worked hard to give us everything we needed and more.
He gave everything to those he loved and wanted nothing for himself. He was the kind of man who would give you the last piece of food on his plate and go hungry before seeing someone else go without.
My father got along with everybody. He avoided confrontation at all cost and did not have a mean bone in his entire body. His favorite saying when there was any sign of turmoil or a problem of any kind would be “keep the peace”. I never met a person who didn’t love my dad.
My father was my world. Anyone who knows me could tell you I was a ‘daddys girl’ no doubt. He knew how to comfort me when I was sad, without saying a word. He knew how to help me, before I even knew I needed it. He knew how to make me smile when I didn’t think I could. He taught me how to be a dependable, hard working person. Someone, who could be relied upon. He taught me about morals and being kind to others. To always help others whenever I had the opportunity. And what it meant just to be a ‘good’ person.
My father was my world. My role model. And by far the greatest man I will have ever known. Anyone who has ever had him in their life should consider themselves blessed. The world was certainly a better place with him on it. The sadness I feel having lost him could never be explained in words. I find comfort knowing he is at peace, but my heart will remain heavy forever without him.
Thomas R. Mignanelli – to know him was to love him. There is no other way to say it.
Rest in Peace, dad. Thank you for being a father I could not have asked for – because I did not know they came that great! I will love you forever.
Your forever grateful daughter,
Laurie xxoo

I love you Uncle ... you were never greedy .. you were never mean .. you taught the meaning of unconditional love.
You fought until the end just to be sure your family was ready ..
You may think we were ready to say goodbye .. I will never think of it as goodbye but maybe see you one day...
Love you
Patti

I can see Tom right now behind the bar at "Sharkey" bartending, mixing cocktails, taking and laughing with the customers. Having a great, funny, loving, caring wife Sandy who is probably with him right now in heaven both looking down on their beloved family and saying "YES" we did it- Our time on earth was well spent. Our children and grandchildren, great-grandchildren are people who we are proud of today and always. Rest in Peace Tom.
