November 4, 2008
Dear Enza,
One year today and we still can't get over the pain of losing you. My heart breaks everytime I think of all that has been lost. To much for one family to bear. I think of the days before you died when we came to see you and Nicky turning to me and pat and mom saying that will not happen to me, and we had faith in that..now look all that has happen. I know you too are the lucky ones and we are left to be in sorrow. My heart will never heal. The only sodice that I have is that you and Nick are no longer suffering. May you shine that special smile and light on us and helps us all heal from this pain. Rest in peace...
Love,
Wednesday

Enz,
I can't belive it has been six months since you received your beautiful wings. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of you and smile, or laugh, or even have a deep belly laugh thinking of one of the funny crazy memories that I and the other girls share with you. Thanks for keeping me strong, I know you are there, and I can see your signs when you communicate. I know it was you the day I put my money in the vending machine and selected crackers and swedish fish were in my hand when I pulled my hand out of the vending machine. You knew I was feeling down and a little lost that day and you swooped in to make me smile. You are truly a wonderful friend. Like I always say you have taught me and bring me HOPE! I hope you liked the like picture with the butterfly and the HOPE caption. I promise I will come visit you again soon and we can chat. I have to keep you in the loop on me and the rest of us girls. I love you my sweet dear friend and I still miss you so, so much. Continue to fly over all of us, I can feel it when you are there.
Love you,
Tina

How I miss your smile, that voice and your laugh. I know that you have been working overtime up there for Nicky and his family. I know that you have listened to all of their prayer's and their cry's. Now you, Nicky and Cindy can all party the way you used to year's ago. No more pain and suffering for any of you anymore-THANK GOD!! I miss you every minute of every single day!!

Dear Libero -
Please know that even though you can't see your Mom she is with you every single day. Your Mom watches over you from above with the other angels. Your Mom loves you and your little Sister so very much. The two of you were her most beautiful treasures ever! She always spoke of both of you with such pride and such love. She was so very proud of both of you. I worked with your Mom at the bank and I can remember her telling stories about you and Marialuisa and her face would just light right up. She loves you both tremendously. Your Mom is the the bravest and most loving person I know. I am so proud that I was able to have her friendship. Libero, carry her in your heart, and even though you can't see her, know everday that she is with you. She will make her presence known to you in a way that is very special to both you and her, whether it be a song you hear, something you see, something you feel, even maybe a scent that reminds you of her - she is there sweetie every single day and you will always have your memories of her, they are specially for you and you can carry them with you forever. God bless you and Marialuisa, Libero, you and your Sister are and will always be in my prayers.

To Enza's family.
I saw Nancy Parker-Applebaum today and she told me about Enza's passing. I am so very sorry. I worked with Enza at Albank/Charter One Bank and will remember her kindness and caring for others. We had a long talk when she was first diagnosed and I heard the courage in her voice then. I have been "out of touch' with those I worked with and had no idea. Please accept my condolences and know that she brought much joy to co workers. I have read all of the notes here and it is clear that she was much loved by all. Rest in peace young lady
Sincerely,
Barbara Ritschel

Libero and Maria Luisa,
I am so sorry for the pain you are going through right now. No one can know what it feels like to lose a mother unless you have gone through it, I know how hard and sad it must be. But when God took your mother, he left you with a wonderful, devoted father who will help you get through anything, and whose love for you has never waivered, and in that, I hope you find comfort. Everyone is thinking about you both and sending you love.

Dear Enza, I am so sorry I was unable to attend your services. I was away in Aruba when you passed. Your cousin Luigi was in Aruba with my husband and I. I will always remember you as the girl with the smile. After speaking with your family, to hear what a trooper you were right to the end. You and Cindy were both amazing people. So much illness for both of you but so many smiles and positive attitudes. You are now together again with your best friend and I hope you two continue on in laughter and smiles. I am honored to have been able to call both of you my friends. Rest in peace.

I will never ever forget Enza. I remember growing up on North Main Ave and every Friday night we'd bang on our floor when our dad went out for you guys to come upstairs. We'd all just have so much fun just being together. Those were some of the best times!!
Growing up she always opened her door to me. I knew I could always go to her. I remember Lisa and I being at her house all the time and we always knew we could count on her, she felt like a big sister to me also. There was nothing I couldn't tell her. I will miss her terribly. I'm so sorry to you Lisa, Rosie, Ralph, Zia Mary & Zio Lee & Libero and Maria Luisa. I will continue to pray for you guys.

Enza:
So many times I have told you that you were my poster girl representing strength & courage. You truly are. I wear your bracelet each day to remind me that you are my hero and what is important in life. You and your family have endured so much in the past 5 years but the pain & suffering only brought you closer, stronger and more loving. These are all gifts from God. You were a gift from God and I have been blessed to have you as part of my life. I will think of you often and will smile with the fond thoughts and memories that you have given me. May you rest in peace until me meet again.
Your friend and co-worker,
Esther

To My BEAUTIFUL Couisin Enza,
I am so sorry that i didn't come out to visit as much as i wanted to. I regret not being able to spend every precious moment with you. But you and your family are always in my thoughts and heart. I miss you so much. I have WONDERFUL memories of us that i will ALWAYS cherrish. I have a picture of your BEAUTIFUL face in my head, always smiling. I kiss your picture everyday and tell you that i love you. You will NEVER be forgotten. You will ALWAYS be in our thoughts and hearts and prayers.
I have a poem for you....... here it is.......
God looked around his Garden and found an empty place.
He then looked down upon his earth and saw your loving face.
He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest.
His Garden must be beautiful, he always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering, he knew you were in pain.
And knew that you would never get well on earth again.
He saw your path was difficult, he closed your tired eyes,
He whispered to you “Peace be Thine” and gave you wings to fly.
When we saw you sleeping so calm and free of pain,
We would not wish you back to earth to suffer once again.
You’ve left us precious memories, your love will be our guide,
You live on through your children, you’re always by our side.
It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you on the day god called you home.
I LOVE YOU and MISS YOU ENZA!!!
This is not good bye cause we will all see you later honey.
Love Always,
Your Cousin Roseanne

To my Cousin Enza,
I can't believe God took you from us. He saw you suffer and put your body at peace but your memory will stay in my heart forever. You left behind so many who loved you . I remember meeting your family for the first time and wishing to someday have that bond the Simeone's shared growing up, definitely not your average family . I will cherish the stories your family tells all the time. When I married into the family , I was touched to have this new family and you always made me feel part of it. That was you, you never judged you just loved. You will never be forgotten. your love for your children will shine down upon them. They are beautiful , loving and caring children because of what you started. We know you are not finished and will continue to be their angel watching over them. How brave you were, I admire you for your strength not everyone would be so strong. I wish everyone knew the person you were, A Beautiful Mom , Daughter, Sister , Aunt, Niece, Cousin and friend. Rest now in peace Dear Enza.

I can remember a time back in high school, it was Enza, Cindy, Elvita and myself. We decided to skip a few classes and go out joy riding in my white chevette. Cranking the music and listening to the Cover Girls song, Show Me. How we loved that song!!! We played it over and over again. (we thought we were so cool) Some how or another we ended up in Renn and on the way back we had a spin out facing traffic in the opposite direction and for a moment there was complete silence in the car, and then all of the sudden, all four of us just started laughing so hard we could barely talk. We had some good times!!!! I will miss Enza very much!!!

Ralph and family,
My heart goes out to you & your entire family. Enza was truly an angel here on earth. She has touched so many lives and those memories will last a lifetime. I will always cherish the good times we shared. And I know her legacy will continue with her beautiful children and siblings. Your parents have much to be proud of, for Enza was a beautiful, courageous and caring woman. The strength and courage she displayed through this battle was nothing short of admirable! I feel fortunate to have known such a woman!
Enza, give Cindy Sue a hug for me and dont cause too much trouble up there!

My heart goes out to the entire Simeone family. I remember childhood memories with Enza and the family. Mainly around the holidays. Being in Cindy's old basement and hanging out.

My deepest condolences to the entire family, you're in my thoughts. It seems like yesterday that we were sitting on the "green machine" and Enza was pulling up in her Monte Carlo ~ I always thought she was so beautiful. It's memories sometimes that can get us through a moment,that shall last us a lifetime and beyond. I wish I could have been able to be there tonight, but please know she has been on my mind and in my prayers. At last she suffers no more and has become one of God’s angels. May her spirit live on in all of you. God bless. ~ a big hug to you ~
Love, Renee

Berghela Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Enza was a truly wonderful person and it is so hard to see she is gone. She was the person you could talk to about anything and it is devistating to see that she is not here with us anymore. I know you all miss her, but she was fighting a terrible disease for a long time, but she is not suffering anymore, she is in a better place. Once again, I am very very sorry for your loss. She was a great person. Stay strong Libero and Maria. She loves you very much.
Love always,

It is with great sadness that I write this...It has taken me a long time to come up with anything to say because as I write I still can't believe it's true...Enza will always be in my heart and prayers as she always was...When I came to see Enza to make her feel better she made me feel better...THAT'S ENZA..I was always cherish all the memories we had together...me, her and Cindy...all the skip days, all the trouble we came across...the Fire at Joelson Court...I will really miss all that..I hate what CANCER has done to all our families..It has taken away the people we most cherish...I leave you all with the fact that ENZA was truly a wonderful person, a great mother and a great daughter, sister, sister in law, cousin and friend..that's the ENZA I knew
Enza...Missing you already. You will always be young, you will always be beautiful, you will always hold your children in your loving arms and heart and you will always have me praying and missing you..Say HI to my Dad and tell him 10 1/2 mts and I will never forget...Rest in peace my cousin..

My dearest friends, I think so fondly so lovingly of you all. You have always had an open door policy for me everytime I wanted to visit, and recently through your pain, you opened Enza's home to me which she loved so much! Enza would say, Gynine just come over, don't call, she was special. Enza is and always will be an ispiration, to all of us that still carry the torch! I will miss her at the house when I stop by for lunch with her mother and her sisters, who I love as if they were my own family. God bless all of you and be well and know you now have an angel on your shoulder watching over each and everyone of you. I love you all, your friend always and forever,

Things will never be the same...No one knows until you go throught something like this, that things are not the same...My heart breaks for you both..I know what it is like and I am much much older and it really does stink. Not a day that goes by that you won't talk to her, pray to her, smile at her picture, think of her and sometimes yell at her...Remember always a bond between a parent and children will NEVER be broken...not even in death..Libero, take care of your little sister and remind her each day how much your mother loved you both..Stay strong little ones...May God Bless you both.

I had such a hard time writing this to you all. I hate this CANCER...It has taken so much away from all of us..As I write this and think that I am writing because Enza has paaed away it is still unspeakable...You know that Enza was a big part of my life. As I think of my younger years she was always there..We had been through alot of great times and sad times...She was always so positive and could always make you feel at peace just like in the end...When I came to see Enza to make her feel better she made me feel better, whose does that...ENZA DOES THAT I miss her already..Know that I WILL NEVER FORGET HER...REST IN PEACE PENZA..LOVE YOU ALWAYS..

The hole in your hearts will someday be filled with the joy of knowing her children possess a very big part of Enza's love for them both...
God Bless her...my prayers are with you all...

Enza, words cant express how much I am going to miss you. I love you more than words can say. I can not believe you are gone, its hard to believe. I can personally say you are the strongest women I know. You have been battling a terrible disease, but you never gave up and you never let it get the best of you. You stayed so strong, and I look up to you for that. Even though its hard, im trying to stay strong. I am going to miss all the memories that we have shared. I am going to miss our friday girls nights watching scary movies and eating candy. I am going to miss those summer days laying out by the pool. I am going to miss everything about you. You have really taught me never to take our family for granted. We have such a wonderful family and we are so close. You have taught me to never take them for granted because no one is promised tommorow. Things are never going to be the same because you won't be here physically, but you are always in my heart. You are an amazing cousin who I am never going to forget. My cousin Libero is like my brother. I remember coming over in the summer and you would always tell me to keep an eye on him making sure he stayed out of trouble. He is my cousin and basically my brother, and im going to always be here for him helping him through this time. Enza, you put up such a good fight. You will always be remembered. I love you so much. Rest In Peace. XOXO

Berghela/Simeone Family -
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. Enza is my hero and she is an angel. I worked with Enza at the bank for a few years and her friendship was a blessing to me. She was the first one to be-friend me and take me under her wing. Her friendship has made me a better person, she gave me the best gift anyone can give another, she taught me HOPE. She battled and fought with strength, grace, resilience, and bravery. She taught me to appreciate life and see all of the blessings around us. I will always live my life in a positive way in memoriam to her. I can never thank her enough for this great gift. She will live on forever in our hearts and I will tell her story to all as she is truly amazing. I have known noone braver than she. I will miss her dearly, but, feel at peace knowing that she is no longer in pain nor suffering. She was an angel here on earth and now she is an angel up above watching over her children and her family. I am thankful and blessed to have had the opportunity to know Enza and have her friendship. I love you Enza and every time I eat twizzler's or swedish fish, I will smile knowing you will be sitting right next to me. :-) We both know how you and I loved our candy. Rest in peace sweetie. Tina

I can't even imagine the loss you must be feeling right now. I hope it helps to let you know how many people cared about Enza. She was a young, beautiful, strong woman and there is no easy answer for her being taken so early. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers. Enza's friends at Citizens Bank.

Mrs. Simeone (Enza's Mom),
Im writing this note to you on behalf of Tiziana Sparano. Tiziana, Enza and I were friends back at Blessed Sacrament and Albany High. Tiziana called me last night from Italy to get an update on Enza and I gave her the sad news. She asked me to tell you that you and your family are in her prayers. Also, that she loved Enza very much.

Maria, Libaro and family,
We're so sorry to hear of the your loss. I remember Vicenzina growing up and getting together with my nieces.
In my heart I know that she will be watching over you and especially her children. I pray that you find strength and peace knowing that God greeted her with open arms, while she received her wings of an angel. There will be no more suffering for her.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.
May her soul rest in 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.
