Dear Mom, I am feeling so alone and miss you very much. I see your beautiful face and so many happy memories of you fill my mind. I wanted to let you know that at funeral mass on 05/08/14 your nephew Tony sang the Ave Maria and your niece Maria sang Amazing Grace & The Our Father. They both sang a capella and the songs were beautiful. All of your nieces & nephews miss you and love you including Elizabeth, Frank, John, Diane, Margie; Tony, Maria, Joe; Steve & Chris. Cora gave two beautiful readings from the Book of Wisdom & Thessolians. I wore your beautiful cross necklace and then at the reception, I gave Cora that necklace as per your request a few days before you passed. I know you are watching over us all from Heaven in God's arms along with Grandma Margaret, Grandpa John, Aunt Carmie, & Aunt Joanne. I will love you forever, Your Daughter Cherie.

Dear Mom, Yesterday was Mothers Day. I am trying to be strong, however I am feeling it all so much now and I am broken-hearted; I wanted more years with you. Everything hit me yesterday and I fell apart. I miss you more than words can say. I am so blessed that I had you for my Mother. I will love you forever and keep memories of you always. All My Love, Your Daughter Cherie

I pray your memories will comfort you at this difficult time.
I only met Mary 7 months ago but in that time we became good friends. I enjoyed having lunch with her at her favorite restaurants and shopping for clothes, curtains, and things for Melanie. I'll miss her and the time we used to spend together.

I met Mary when I married Joanne Saraceno many years ago, I always thought how good she was and loving to her children. Recently I had the opportunity to see her again, and she looked great, so I was sorry to hear of her passing. She will be missed as well as Joanne is missed. Bless you Mary and may God Speed.

Dear Aunt Mary, I have so many happy, loving and "super fun" childhood memories of you and your always welcoming house. I don't think a weekend ever went by in the summertime when I wasn't asking my mom if we could go to your house to swim! Family, food and fun :) Thank you! You will be missed here by all of us but I know you are in good company. We love you. Comfort and peace be with you, Cherie, John and Bud.
