James R. Formaggioni

Dear Beth and Bobby,
Out thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Our hearts are broken and filled with grief. Jimmy was a wonderful young man who was always willing to lend a helping hand. When Mike would offer to pay him extra, he would tell him it wasn't necessary. We will miss seeing him wearing a warm smile and waving to us as we walk down the street. May his memory be a blessing to all with whom he came in contact.
With love and hugs,
Judy and Mike Cohen

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and Beth and the rest of your family. No words can express our deepest sympathy.

Dear Mr. & Mrs. Formaggioni:

We are heartbroken over the loss of your only son Jimmy. We share your unwanted burden with you, having lost our only son George. a fellow Longmeadow High School student, just one year ago this week.

We have found so much support from our friends, family, coworkers and the Longmeadow Community. We have found help and made friends attending the Compassionate Friends Meetings. Who best to understand what you are going through, then other parents and grandparents who have lost their loved ones. We attend meetings in Springfield, Massachusetts and Farmington, Connecticut. Here is a link to find the local chapters: http://www.compassionatefriends.org/Find_Support/Chapters/Chapter_Locator.aspx

Be there for each other. Take one minute at a time, then one hour, then by one day at a time. As we have learned, life will never be the same, but we do find a way to go on.

Sincerely - Ann Marie & James Ginopoulos

BETH;MY HEART IS BROKEN FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY;MY
THOUGHTS AND SYMPATHY ARE WITH YOU;I KNOW YOUR PAIN LOSING A CHILD AND A LOVED ONE;PLEASE BE STRONG
AND KNOW YOU ARE LOVED.........CAROL

Beth and Blinky - I am so sorry for your loss. There is no greater heartache in the world than for a parent to lose a child. May your faith and the knowledge that he is now embraced by our loving God be of some comfort to you in following months.
