Dear Mr. Castriotta,
It isn't fair what happened to you or my Dad...If time could be turned back, if things could be said, if time could be spent wiser while you were both here. God does have a master plan and maybe even you and my Dad know each other finally...that would be nice. Either way please keep looking after Kristine and the kids...They love you more than you ever knew. And one more thing, make sure to string up the Christmas lights up there, my Dad can help with the candles...:") Enjoy what God had waiting for you. xoxo

Hi Dad
Danny and I cannot believe a year has passed but I feel in my heart that you are still with us... I have a beautiful daughter, Trinity. She recently turned 2 months old and is doing great! She has your chin and gummy smile. The boys are getting so big and they miss you so much! I still expect to see you on the deck in NH when we visit.... It's not the same without you but at least the family is still together. Give hugs and kisses to MJ and continue to watch over all of us! we love you!

Mrs. Castriotta and Family,
I would like to express my deepest sympathy for your loss of a wonderful man. I have know Mr. Castriotta for many years (I was his insurance agent). Each and every time he came to the office, a smile was planted on his face. We had many talks about his family and I know one thing for sure.....He loved each and every one of you. May he rest in peace.

Dear Auntie Jane and all my cousins,
It saddens me to know of the passing of Uncle Bobo and although I can't be there to share this time with you all please know you are all in my thoughts and prayers that God will ease your sadness and pain at losing him. He was always being of help to others in need and I thank him for his help to my mother over the years just by being her little brother and friend. I remember one Halloween when he borrowed my mom's black cape and dressed himself up as Dracula to scare the neighborhood trick or treaters and he did a good job of it too. May the days ahead be filled with memories of your lives together and may the sadness and pain become less and less with each passing day.
With great sympathy and sadness to you all.

Dear Auntie Jane, and all my wonderful cousin's I know this is the second signing of the guest book because I needed to say a lot more. When I wrote Uncle Bo Bo's name I added an e at the end of it cause, to me it stands for eternal life, most of all eternal laughter that he had given to me. He made me laugh when I was scared he mad me safe when I was afraid, I remember my sleep over's and sharing a room with Doreen and MJ, we stayed up all night talking I also remember the glowing stars on your celling it made me feel like I was in heaven. Uncle Bo(e) Bo(e) gave me a beautiful cross when I was a little girl at one of my stay's at the Children's Hospital (I still have it and I've been wearing it to feel closer to him at this time in need, he cheered me up and wanted to protect me from more hospital stays. So I needed to add the (e) in Uncle Bo Bo's name for the Eternal Laughter, Love, and Life! I know in my heart he is now home with MJ and all our Angels we have lost along the way!! Words could never truly express how deeply saddend I really am, along with how very blessed I am to have all of you as my family!! Please know I hold in my heart the deepest love for my Uncle Bo Bo along with sharing the Laughter, Love and Life with all of you. Love always your cousin Denise Castriotta-Carley. Thank You for always looking out for me and making me feel so special sharing your Live's with me. I have the deepest respect for all of you and I am so proud to call you my family!!

I'm so sorry to hear of the passing of your dad. He was a kind man and I'll always have fond memories of how much he did for M.J. She loved him deeply.
Being that today, August 19, is Chey's birthday I recall visiting her on the 2nd day of her life, and how M.J. was so pleased that "Papa" had paid for her and Chey to have a privite room at the hospital. It ment so much to M.J. that her Dad would be there, when she needed him. And there was always his help getting her to her treatments. She enjoyed so much to have her "Papa" with her while she bravely fought to hold on.The time alone with him helped her a great deal.
Again, I am sorry for your loss and your family will be in my thoughts during this difficult time.
Peace!

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived
okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here
is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you
every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up
and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were
gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for
me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's
chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life
on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not
be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But
one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a
time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will
give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day
was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the
way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick
him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in
your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember
you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
