To My husband Phil,
God brought us together and no one is closer than a husband and wife. You were my whole life and I thank God for bringing us together. We shared a common bond that only someone who has lost a spouse could begin to imagine, the pain and suffering that it causes a person to feel. I was truly blessed to have known you. As you always told me you were not different but you were "Unique". That word describes you perfectly. There will never be anyone as caring and giving as you always were to everyone that you came in contact with. I know that you are in heaven and only God knows why it was your time to be with him but I will miss you everyday of my life and my love for you will be with me forever until we are together again in heaven. You were not just my husband but my best friend,
Love,
Karen

Pop,
Today would have been your 68th birthday. You left us just 2 months ago. I am so devestated that you are not here. I have tried to do this so many times, and I had to stop. Every day I cry. Every day I miss you. Every day. It hurts so bad, and I don't know how to make it stop. You and I had such a different relationship, I guess because of taking care of Mommy. I relied on you to guide me. I leaned on you when I did not know how to make it through. You were always there with a remark, usually funny, because the one thing that I managed to inherit from you was your warped sense of humor. You had a photographic memory. You had the gift of being able to walk into a room, and teach, and have a commanding presence. And of all that, I get the warped sense of humor. Go figure. We had so much in common. You taught me the importance of family. You took me to my first Yankee game. You passed on to me your love of sports. You taught me how to dance. I shared your love of music. Not your talent in any of that, but your love of all of it. You guided me in my career. You checked in on me through my sickness. You stayed so strong for us when Mommy died. And then did the same when Theresa died. And now you are gone from this earth, but you will be in my heart forever. I love you, Pop. I will always be your baby, your pumpernickel, and I will miss you always.
You will forever be in my heart.
I love you,
Angie

Daddy...
It is so hard belive that you are gone almost a month. A day does not go by when I think of you and miss you. Every time something happens you are the first person I want to call. You were my mentor, my support and most of all my daddy. I was so proud of everything that you accomplished, but most of all I was proud to call you dad! You will continue to live in my heart every day. Thank you dad for supporting me, guiding me and most of all loving me unconditionally. You will be in my heat forever... I Love you! Lindy

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.

His untimely departure not even a month after his daughter, Theresa,will no doubt be difficult for his survivors to deal with. I pray that it will not be too long until they are up to the pleasant memories.
