Gabriella is right about how loving Papi/Tata was, and how important it is to share that love. Gabriella and I didn't write anything down about what we'd say together (at the funeral services) but we did talk earlier today about Tata - we smiled and laughed thinking about Tata. Tata always greeted people with his arms extended wide open in the air; when you walked into his home he would literally reach out with his arms toward you. We've received so many messages from so many people that heard about Tata passing. One friend wrote about how extraordinary Tata was and that he made an impact on thousands of people and then she said she thought again, and changed it to millions of people. Like the rabbi said, Tata loved the arts, loved photography, theater, music and dancing, travel and soccer, but most of all he loved PEOPLE, he loved family. He made friends EVERYWHERE he went. One day he came home with the Costco guy - we were a little concerned.  We love you, Papi, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so,so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so very much. We will share your love with each other and with others.
