Patrick:

I was deeply saddened to
hear about your mother's
passing. I remember her
cutting down branches from a
willow tree behind
your house on Taft Place for
all the kids in the
neighborhood. She said, if
you stick it in the ground
they would grow into a tree
and I brought it home to my
father and told him. He
said, "no way it will grow".
But we planted it in the
backyard anyways, and it did
grow into a large tree. I
also remember one time, we
were playing out in the snow
for so long when we came
back in our hands were
frozen to the point where
they were tingling and they
hurt (that was when I still
had two hands) she told
us, "Don't put hot water on
it slowly bring them to room
temperature starting with
cold water." I have many
other fond memories of her
from my childhood years. She
was truly a wonderful
person. She had a wonderful
life filled with all those
grandchildren and great
grand children. She was very
lucky person. Boy, where did
the time go?

Your childhood friend,

Vincent LoTempio

Crossing the Bar

Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea,

But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.

Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark;

For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crost the bar.

Dearest Lee
My Prayer for You
Today I lifted up your name
Before the Lord in prayer.
I asked Him to supply your needs,
And keep you in His care.
I pled with Him to make you well,
And take away your pain;
To chase away your sorrows,
as The sunshine chases rain.

Because I know He holds you in
The hollow of His hand,
I prayed that you would know His peace,
And have the strength to stand.

If you should be discouraged,
And Feel moored in deep despair,
Please know I dearly love you,
And remember you in prayer

Your Loving daughter-in-law
And A Friend
Elsa

Good Morning Mom,
It has been very hard for me to accept your death. But, I want you to know that you were the best mother we could have ever had. You kept us all on the right track and you should be proud of your hard work. You and dad raised 4 wonderful children. Not only were you the best mother all those years but you were also the best grandmother and great grandmother. Mom I miss you terribly but I thank you for the wonderful life you have given to me. Rest in peace now mom and know that I love you and we will all miss you.

I know your mom is special to you -- how awesome that she has been such a vital part of your life -- and I know she loved Jenny and Sean so much. I'm very sorry that you have lost her. I hope your dad is doing okay.

You are a special lady - the love you have given to me and my kids is evidence of the love your mom gave to you. Tell your kids I'm thinking of them also.

Lori, I have the fondest memories of your Mom. She always made our family feel like part of her family. A great sense of humor, a gift for entertaining, a helpful and caring person were just some of her great qualities. She will be missed by many, but what fabulous memories she has left with everyone. May you be blessed with the peace of knowing she is with our Lord. Our love and prayers are with you. Diane, Len, Ian and Ryan
