Lee:

Although I did not have the pleasure of knowing you for as long as my wife, I have fond memories of the two years I was blessed with having you in my life. You welcomed me into your home with open arms, and spoiled me rotten with many a great meal!

Although you weren’t feeling well, you attended our May 2, 2008 wedding. It would not have been the same without you there. I never saw Angelica so happy! Because of your artistic sense, we were able to get some great photos which we would never have though of ourselves. I can’t believe that exactly four months later, you would be called home…

Heaven has one more angel. I will see you on the other side!

In God’s love,

Angelica Cicio (D'Alessio)

Lee:

Thank you for always being there for me and sharing your wisdom. I remember all the meals you prepared for me, all the movies we saw together, and all the music we would listen to. I miss our conversations and hearing you laugh. Your friendship is something I will always cherish. Although we were unable to attend your service, Brian and I played Stevie Wonder’s “Songs in the Key of Life” and music by The Who in your memory, and I lit a candle by the picture of you and I from my wedding. I know you are in a better place and that we will see you again someday.

I will always love you and miss you!

I Love You Mommy, more than anywords could say and I absolutely adored everything about you! Love Always your Loving Daughter, Debbie xoxoxoxo

Mere words cannot express how sorry I am for your loss. Please know that I am here 24/7 should you want to reach out. I am glad for the privelege to have met her and she will always be in my heart as well. This may not help now, but she is looking down on us, pain free, worry free , happy and well in Heaven. She was called home to live in Glory with God and all of our loved ones. Speak to her always, she can hear you , find peace in knowing she will be your guide as well as both of your children's until it is time for us to be called Home. Love Always, Lynn Danny, Christopher & Gracie xoxoxo

As I sit here in God's Palace
And I see you grieving so
I am really very happy
I wanted you to know
The sun is always shinning
There are flowers everywhere
Never any worries, never
Any cares
I am free from any suffering
I don't have any pain
If you trust in Jesus
I'll see you once again.
So dry your eyes be
Happy and gay
For I am one of God's flowers
In HIS great bouquet.
