    To My Beloved Avó, With Eternal Love & Gratitude Always. Xx Thank you for helping raise us when we were little. Besides being our grandmother, you were like a second mother to all of us. Please help protect and guide us, your nine grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren, until we meet again. We love you, Avó, with all our hearts and soul. Please give my dad, your loyal son, Joseph C. Sampaio, and our grandpa, your devoted husband, Francisco P. Sampaio, a big hug and kiss for us. Xx Life will never be the same again without you in it. I don't know what I'll do when I do not see you sitting at the window above, looking out at the street below. No doubt, I will break down and cry. So please be our guiding light, give us the strength, and help us get through this complex journey we call LIFE. Xx We Will Never Forget You, Avó, For As Long As We Live; I Can Promise You That. R.I.P. Beloved Grandma. You were the MATRIARCH of the Sampaio family and the GLUE that bound us together. Please continue to do so from Heaven above as our one and only Guardian Angel. We will carry you inside our hearts always and forever. Thank you for all that you have done for each and every one of us, especially your grandchildren, us, that you helped raise. We will never forget you. I will never forget you for as long as I live. XOXOXO Love, From Your Grandchildren, Steven, Sandra & Joseph Sampaio (& Our Respective Families) & All the Rest of Your Remaining Grandchildren & Great-Grandchildren (& Their Respective Families, too).
