Aunt Patsy and Family, We were sorry to learn that Uncle Ralphie passed away. My fondest memory of him was when he took me on my very first plane ride in a little 2 seater and let me steer the plane.

In these moments the words do not serve to alleviate the pain. Not being able to be near you in these sad circumstances you know that our affection is with you.
The persons as It always does not die in order, only go away. We will always feel in our heart.
We will so much lack to all, but he will remain always alive in our memories.

Dear Grandpop,
'You'll get over it...' It's the clichés that cause the trouble. To lose someone you love is to alter your life for ever. You don't get over it because 'it' is the person you loved. The pain stops, there are new people, but the gap never closes. How could it? The particularness of someone who mattered enough to grieve over is not erased by anyone but death. This hole in my heart is in the shape of you and no one else can fit. Why would I want them to?”

I love you and miss you.
marc

Dear Mrs. D'Ambrosio, Trisha, and your family,
I was so sorry to hear of Mr.D's passing. I know that now you are in pain, but if you lean on each other, you will feel peace. Always remember the good times with him, think of him often, and talk to him as if he was in the room, and he will hear you and give you comfort.
God Bless you all.

Aunt Pat, Ralphie, Carrie, Trisha, Carmen and your families.
I cannot tell you how sorry I am to hear that Uncle Ralph passed away. My heart hurts. Sadly, I only just found and am left feeling empty.
I am so thankful that my girls and Mark were able to know him. They have fond memories of him, even though they were few. Mine however are much more. I will never forget his smile. I am so happy that I was able to speak with him recently, and even though we didn't get to see each other often because of long distance, he was thought about many times.
I am unable to join you all, my family, to grieve and help support you at this time, but please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I miss you all very much...
Love, Lisa
(Mark, Ashley and Paige)

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.
