Mr. DelGaizo,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the USN during the Korean War. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Safely Home

I am home in Heaven, dear ones;
Oh, so happy and so bright!
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light.

All the pain and grief is over,
Every restless tossing passed;
I am now at peace forever,
Safely home in Heaven at last.

Did you wonder I so calmly
Trod the valley of the shade?
Oh! but Jesus' love illumined
Every dark and fearful glade.

And He came Himself to meet me
In that way so hard to tread;
And with Jesus' arm to lean on,
Could I have one doubt or dread?

Then you must not grieve so sorely,
For I love you dearly still.
Try to look beyond earth's shadows,
Pray to trust our Father's Will.

There is work still waiting for you
So you must not idly stand;
Do it now, while life remaineth,
You shall rest in Jesus' land.

When that work is all completed,
He will gently call you Home;
Oh, the rapture of that meeting,
Oh, the joy to see you come!

Dear Marguerite,Tony,Susan,&Kathy,
Our deepest condolences on your loss. May God comfort you in this difficult time. We always remember big Tony's smile it seemed to be his hallmark. He will be remembered in our prayers when we pray for the holy souls in Purgatory and to ask his help for your needs.

To My Dear Cousins,
As you know Tony was like another brother to me, in fact, he has always been a VIP in our lives. He introduced me to my husband and ironically enough he died on our anniversary. He will be remembered fondly for many reasons, but mostly because we loved him.

My Dear Cousins
I am so sorry to learn of Tony's sudden passing...Not unlike Rosemarie, when I think of Tony, I will always see him with a smile and a warm hug. I fondly recall and cherish memories of being at your homes in Everett and especially in Hingham.
May God Bless you all during this difficult time.

Love

Dear Susan and family,
I was so sadden to hear of your Dad's passing. I am enclosing a beautiful poem someone sent me and I hope that you will find comfort in reading it.
Love,
Patricia Sears

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.
