I think of you when flowers bloom in Spring, when the sun shines in Summer, when leaves fall in Autumn and when snow falls in Winter. I think of you every hour of every day. Every day, every hour, every minute, every second brings me closer to the day I will see you and be with you again. I love you, I miss you with all of my heart MOM!!!!!!!

Here I am Mom, your turkey baby! Another one of my Birthday's that falls on Thanksgiving Day, just like the day I was born. And another year that you are not here with me to celebrate. I useto make wishes but I don't believe in making wishes anymore cause once again I know mine will never come true! I useto wish upon stars but now "Perhaps they are not stars in the sky, but rather openings where our loved ones shine down to let us know they are happy." Mom, my heart aches everyday from missing you. Everything I do, I do with you in mind and heart. Until we meet again my sweet angel in heaven!!! xoxoxoxoxo
HAPPY THANKSGIVING in Heaven!

In tears we saw you sinking,
Our hearts were almost broken,
We wanted you back, But when we saw you sleeping,So peaceful, free from pain,How could we wish you back with us,To suffer that again.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you did not go alone,
For part of us went with you,
The day God took you home.
If Roses grow in Heaven,
Lord please pick a bunch for me,
Place them in my Mother's arm
and tell her they are from me.
Tell her I love her and miss her
and when she turns to smile,
place a kiss upon her cheek
and hold her a while.
Because remembering her is easy,
I do it everyday, but there's an ache within my heart that will never go away. Don't think of her as gone away
Her journey's just begun,Life has so many facets this earth is only one.
Just think of her as resting from sorrows and tears In a place of warmth and comfort where there are no days or years.
And think of her as living
In the hearts of those she touched
For nothing loved is ever lost
And she loved so much

Mom ~ I miss you so much words can NEVER explain how much you are missed!!!! Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter comes and goes - everything we all used to do together..nothing is the same without you!! We try to do the same things you used to love but there is a void, an emptiness that will NEVER go away. We know you are here with us..tears flow but the memories bring a smile everytime ("boogler"-mom i luv that one) :)
Ryan & Angelina are a Blessing..miss nonnna..we all do. You're in my thoughts & in my heart ALWAYS!!!
I LOVE you Mom!! Protect us always our Angel XOXOXOXOXO

MY MOTHER
God wanted me to learn some things:
What joy a gentle touch can bring,
What kindness and compassion do,
And how a firm hand helps us, too:
What strength there is in gentleness.
What power lies in a caress.
How one can show love for another
And so he gave me you...
MY MOTHER
The pain never goes away, you just get useto the pain and emptiness...

MOM
You will be remembered when the flowers bloom in spring,
And in the summertime remembered in the fun that summer brings.
You will be remembered when fall brings leaves of gold,
In the wintertime remembered in the stories that are told.
And you will be remembered each daylight from the start,
For the memories that we once shared — forever live within my heart.
ALWAYS THINKING OF YOU AND MISSING YOU SO SO MUCH....

Mom - I can't believe it's been one year without you. I miss you so painfully much. Not a day goes by that I do not think of you and think of everything that you have missed and will be missing. Ryan is such a big boy now and you would be having so much fun with him. You will always be his Nonna! Angelina is beautiful and I know you would have spoiled your lil granddaughter so much. Nothing is the same without you. You have taken a part of my heart with you. Time will never heal this wound. I miss your voice, your touch, your love. I miss calling you and just hanging out with you and doing all the things we useto do. I miss your cooking! I just miss you, my mom!! Please keep talking to me. I know you are amongst us everyday. Keep guiding us. I love you and miss you with all of my heart MOM!!!!! Our sweet angel in heaven...

Rita,
It's hard to believe it's been a year already. I can still see your smiling face as I walk into your house and you ask me if I want a beer! So much love you had for everyone and anyone who stepped into your home. You're leaving has left a huge hole that will never be filled by anyone else and your love will forever be missed. Please continue to watch over your beautiful family as you have been and keep them safe.
We love you and will forever miss you.

Mom,
One year without you...No words can ever explain your loss. A piece of me has gone with you forever. The goods days are when I see your face and remember your voice, laugh, heart, love and all the beautiful memories. The bad days are realizing you're not coming back. I wonder at times how that can be. I will never understand! My only belief is that God only takes the best!! You're in Gods hands now I know, but you are missed so much here by all of us. Mom you live within us everyday. Your memories continue to give us strength. I know you see us & your beautiful grandchildren who miss nonna so much. Protect us and guide us always. "Sleep with the Angels" Mom. I love you!

Rita,
Been thinking bout you alot. I still cant believe your not here. It's coming up on a year without your smile, voice, laugh, love. Not a day goes by without me thinking if I had just one more day, one more hour in your presence. I try not to show emotion and stay strong for everyone, but at times I cant I break and that's when I realize your still here with me you've always been apart of me, and i'll never let go of that. I try to find a quiet place where I can just sit and cry and tell you whats going on latley, but I know you already know you always had the scoop on everything. I miss you Rita every minute of every day I will stay strong for everyone just like you told me too. I love and Miss you ALOT Rita.

Rita,
1st christmas whitout you here, the tree is beautiful, but not as beuatiful as you. The tree this year is in honor of you, and all that you have given not only to me but EVERYONE. I know you are looking down from the heavens above and watching us all. I cant begin to tell you how hard is it without you here. I try to stay strong for everyone everyday, but yet i hurt inside. Certian songs, certian words, movements, looking at brandy, all these little things remind me of all the years I shared with you. Merry Merry first Christmas in heaven Rita I love you and miss you dearly. It wont be the same without you.

MOM,
I thought of you today,
but that is nothing new,
I thought about you yesterday,
and the day before that too.
I think of you in silence,
and often speak your name.
All we have are memories,
and your picture in a frame.
Your memory is our keepsake
with which we'll never part.
God has you in his keeping,
and we have you in our hearts!!
6 Heart wrenching months without you. Miss you more and more everyday. Keep guiding us, our sweet angel in heaven!!! With all my love....

There will never be a moment
I will not think of you
Our special times together
The loving things that you would do
Memories so special
When you were by my side
Now tucked away inside my heart
Forever to abide
And someday up in heaven
Again your face I'll see
When we meet upon
That golden shore
Where the best is yet to be.

Mom,
We knew that sad morning God was going to call your name,
We miss you and love you so dearly life is just not the same.
He saw your path was difficult and He closed your weary eyes,
It was the most painful moment when we had to say good-bye...
It broke our hearts to lose you but you did not go alone,
for part of me went with you the day God called you home.
You left us beautiful memories,
your love & strength is still our guide, and though we cannot see you we know you are always by our side.
If tears could build a stairway and heartaches make a lane I would walk that pathway to Heaven and bring you back again...
We MISS YOU & LOVE YOU SO MUCH MOM more than words can say, yet we feel you here with us each & everyday.
Now you are in Heaven above,
Rest in Peace Mom,
OUR BEAUTIFUL ANGEL of LOVE...

IF ROSES GROW IN HEAVEN,
LORD PLEASE PICK A BUNCH FOR ME,
PLACE THEM IN MY MOTHER'S ARMS
AND TELL HER THEY'RE FROM ME.
TELL HER I LOVE HER AND MISS HER,
AND WHEN SHE TURNS TO SMILE,
PLACE A KISS UPON HER CHEEK
AND HOLD HER FOR AWHILE.
BECAUSE REMEMBERING HER IS EASY,
I DO IT EVERY DAY,
BUT THERE'S AN ACHE WITHIN MY HEART
THAT WILL NEVER GO AWAY.

I will always remember that great big smile and the sparkle in your eye Rita.You touched many people's lives in so many ways. I am so lucky to have known you through my friendship with Bennie, who was more like a sister to me. You will be missed and I believe you must be in a better place now. Although it is still hard to believe you are really gone, why did God take such a wonderful person away from so many people that need you. Please watch over your girls like you always have,

Rita, I'm still in shock thinking that you are no longer with us, and I will forever regret that I did not get the chance to say goodbye and thank you in person. I will forever cherish all the memories we had at your house, all the smiles and laughter we enjoyed together. You always made me feel at home in your house, and I cannot say Thank You enough for your love and friendship. It is something that will never be replaced. It is sad to think that you are no longer here with us, but I take comfort in knowing that God has another Angel in Heaven to look out for us all. Rest In Peace, Rita, and may God bless Connie, Bennie, Lisa and your entire family.

Rita,
Thank you so much for being the wonderful loving person you were and for always welcoming us into your "party home". We know if Caleb ever got to meet you, it would put a huge smile on his face and he'd probably go to you in a second. Hey he even wanted his "Uncle Tony" to pick him up. We'll miss you lots. May you watch over your loved ones and enjoy eternal peace with God.

Rita, there are no adequate words to describe the impact you have had on this world. The door to your home was always open, as was the door to your heart and of course refrigerator! There are so many things to thank you for but simply put, thank you for loving all of us, Connie, Bennie and Lisa's friends as if we were your own. We will love you and miss your always!

April 26 was one of the most difficult days I've ever been through. Saying goodbye to someone who was so dear and special to so many people was almost as numbing as it was painful. The mourning process allowed me reflect and reminisce about what a wonderful and funny person Rita has always been. Beyond the sadness, the thoughts of her bring a smile. She made everyone laugh even if it wasn't always intentional. She put her family first and was willing , most of the time insistent, on lending a hand whenever possible. For me personally, there is now a hole where once there was a vibrant, doting and caring person. She treated me like a son. I can only hope that I adequately expressed to her how much I loved her and appreciated the love she gave me.

Rita the last 17yrs of my life was spent loving you and your daughters, one of which im proud to say is my wife. I sit here today in disbelief thinking about how a beautiful, loving, and caring, women's life was cut short. You touched everyones life the minute they walked thru that front door on Clemens Road.EVERYONE knew who "Rita" was, and no matter what you were doing you took the time to ask if they wanted something, anything, you want a drink? how about a sangwich? (god I loved the way you said that). All the years we spent together all the memories I collected along the way will stay with me forever. God Rita there isnt enough paper or words to describe what you mean to me. I walked into that house 17yrs ago and you didnt even know who I was all I remember was the feeling of love, closeness, and safety I felt. As I promised you Rita I WILL TAKE CARE OF YOUR GIRLS RITA I WILL. As I sit here writing this I’am torn with emotion I’am crying cause your not here with me anymore, but i'm also smiling because I got to spend 17 wonderful years with you. All those x-mas parties, garage sales, pumpkin picking, trips to Atlantic City, Super Bowls, funny whenever anyone asked where I was or where do you wanna go? when I simply replied RITA's they all knew where to go, and they all knew to come with an empty stomach. Rita it was an honor to spend half my life knowing, loving, laughing, and joking with you. Rest In Peace Rita. I know you will be watching over us all day everyday. I'll miss you Rita. Your memory will give me the strengh I need to keep that promise I made to you. I LOVE YOU MOM
