Carissimi, è con immenso dolore che partecipo a questa iniziativa, avrei preferito farlo prima ma in questi casi si resta senza parole, non è facile trovarne dinanzi ad una tragedia come quella che ci ha colpito tutti nella profondità dei nostri cuori. Ma il Signore ha voluto metterci alla prova, e noi comuni mortali non possiamo che accettare la Sua volontà, possa Mark bearsi della sua vicinanza al tavolo della vita Eterna.
Un saluto affettuoso da Massimo Carrozza e famiglia.

I had the privilage to stay with the wonderful Frattaroli family in their beautiful Sulmona home. Meeting the whole family and spending time with them was a highlight of our travels. My heart goes out to his family and friends . My thoughts are with you all during these very difficult times.

October 30, 2008

It is hard to believe that it is a month and as each day goes by we miss you so much!

October 30, 2008

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.

I am home in heaven dear ones
Oh, so peaceful 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 the work is all completed
He will gently call you home
Oh the rapture of that meeting
Oh the joy to see you come

October 21, 2008

Still missing you every day. You will never be forgotten at Lawrence Academy. We love you.

October 16, 2008

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

Cari Anna Filippo e famiglia
in questi momenti le parole non servono ad alleviare il dolore, la perdita di un figlio crea un dolore incommensurabile, ma la certezza è che il vostro Mark è l'angelo più bello vicino al Signore vogliate accettare le nostre più sentite condoglianze per la vostra grande perdita.

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Dear Anna, Filippo and family,
My thoughts are with you at this time of great sorrow. I couldn't think of the right thing to say, but have always liked this idea:

"What we have once enjoyed, we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes part of us."

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.
