Sheila was such a prayerful person, enjoyed the Rosary, and as her illness invaded her body; she took consolation in the many prayers that were sent to her. In her Memory, we offer this Prayer to Frank and the family.
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.!
August 26, 2014
Dear Frank,I will miss Sheila also. From the time she was a little girl, she brightened any room that she was in. Her soft voice and gentile upward glance and smile has always been in my mind and I'm sure it is in the minds of many others that she touched. That's what is going to be one of the memories I'll have of Sheila and it will make me smile. Your friendly smile is another memory i'll have

As we remember Sheila, thoughts of her bring to mind the following expressions; Don't think of her as gone away, Her journey's just begun.
Life holds so many facets, passages, joys and sorrows, life on Earth is only one.Just think of Sheila as resting, from the sorrow , pain and tears. Now in a place of warmth , and comfort, where there are no days, months and years.
Think how she must be wishing that we could know today, how nothing but our sadness, and grief, can really pass away.
Just think of her as living, in the hearts and minds of those she loved , and touched.
For nothing loved is ever lost, and she was loved so much.
Our heartfelt Condolences, Joe & Celia Massimino
