I miss you so much. I wish that I could be with the family today as they celebrate Uncle Mike's life. But I can't. I feel so bad. I miss you guys all so much. I wish that I could hear your voice, Grandpa's voice, Aunt Flo's voice, Uncle Al's voice and Uncle Mike's voice just one more time. I love you all so much.

Dear Aunt Gloria:
I miss our talks so much. You have a few others with you that I had many lengthy conversations with. Mike is the latest. My Mom goes without saying. I know Mike probably has a lot to say and is keeping you you all laughing. Little by little my peeps are going away. Not much more left. I love and cherish all our memories. Make me smile.
Love you Andrea

Just wanted to say..CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS?
We are shocked and trying to comprehend what's happened. Each day it seems a bit easier and then I get a bit weepy also.
I hope Michael is enjoying having you all to himself. Love to all and miss you tons.

Mom
It's not fair, you get to have him and we don't...this really sucks, know how very much I love you all and tell Michael we expect him to be cooking up a storm while watching over us. I'm really pissed about this but can't change what big plan was waiting for Michael. Give him my love although I've been telling him that for days now, hope he knows how very much I'm going to miss him, but you, Daddy, Aunt Dotty, Uncle Phil and so many others now are all together. Love you all with all my heart.

Hi Mom,
Your memorial video and picture sit on my ottoman and it see your smiling face each and every day. I can't believe you are gone, but knowing you are out of pain makes it a bit easier. I wish we had not lost the last 10 yrs due to my hearing loss, because I really miss you and missed you thru these last 10 yrs. I am so sorry I did not go see yoou more often. Love and miss you more then you thought we would. Teri

Mom
Sorry I haven't written lately, still dealing with you not being here...so used to calling or getting calls, stopping by to visit. My dear friend Kay from Mass will be here today for the weekend, I'm very excited as it's been over 7 yrs since we've seen each other & she's been thru so much since we visitied last, looking forward to spending time together. The kids are all doing great, Sara & Price are busy with scouts...Drew & Paige are starting baseball & softball so our evenings will be very busy soon. We leave on the 15th for our cruise with Teri & Jack...should be a blast...well off to work, I'm running late...nothing new these days...love & miss you tons...hugs to daddy.

Mom...well my first Christms without you, it was very different. Sad but I understand you wanted to be with daddy, although I'm sure as much as he missed you; he felt you should have stayed longer with us, at least I thought that. Actually after a few days of cooking the gravy isn't half bad, now we all need to master your meatballs. Wished I spent more time cooking with you. Love & miss you very much. Dianne
December 22, 2010
Happy Birthday Aunt Gloria:
Dianne is correct. You were a fantastic cook. l Tried to make the Lentil soup with the little meatballs. Wasn't bad but cant compare to yours. I miss our conversations. Donna had a dream last week and my Mom was in it with you. She said you were both smiling. Probably Uncle Al told you a joke and Aunt Angela did not cook.
Love you always
Your Niece

Happy Birthday Mom. I found your recipes for meatballs and gravy and not sure why Dianne can't get it right!(LOL), but we will keep trying. I made the meatballs and will do the gravy tomorrow.
I miss you and hope you know it and also hope you are with Daddy looking down on the family and keeping us all in your thoughts. I bet there is still no rest!!! LOL...that's what happens with 9 kids

Happy Birthday to you...Happy Birthday to you...83rd birthday and your spending it with dad, I hope it's everything you wished for, because I wish I could be spending it with you too. Last night in a very long time I attempted to make gravy, I really needed my mom's advice on this one. Don't think I will ever come close to the amazing cook that you were, I wished I'd taken the time to have you show or teach me some of your wonderful dishes. I really do miss you very much, more than you'll ever realize. Happy Birthday dear mom...Happy Birthday to you....all my love Dianne PS Chuck wishes you a Happy Birthday too and wished you showed him how to make meatballs too...LYMTTY!!!!!!

I have the DVD on my ottoman and see your smiling face almost every day!
Like Dianne, I still can't believe it and Becca text me last week that she was having a hard time realizing that you are gone! It is, I don't know if that is possible, but easier to not miss you as much because we had not been able to communicate like we did before I went deaf, but when I was at Dianne's for Thanksgiving, I would come out of the bedroom and say, what's Mom doing? and then OOPS..stop!
I do miss you tons, and I hope you know this and realize how much we miss you and loved you. You would have gotten such a kick out of Forrest! He is adorable and very loveable! I hope you are at peace and are with Daddy again!

December 5, 2010
Mom...well 1 month and 1 day, it still hasn't actully sunk in yet I don't think...keep waiting for the phone to ring or thinking I need to call or stop to see if you need or want anything. Yesterday I starting to tell Chuck "we need" and I caught myself, I was going to tell him we need to go see you. I miss coming to visit and try to have a conversation with you only to get interrupted by Buttons wanting attention, well I'm certain Michael & Chuck are spoiling her for you. Miss you lots and love you more.

Aunt Gloria,
It has been a month since the sad news of your passing. As I prepare our Christmas cards for this year I came across the card that you sent to us last year. You always wrote a note in your card that we will miss now & forever. Merry Christmas to you and Uncle Al in heaven. Our since condolences to all.
Love,
Tom & Marilyn

It's so seldom that people come into your life who are so special. Aunt Gloria and Uncle Al were those kind of people. I always felt so comfortable with them, enjoyed talking to them. I looked forward to their phone calls. They never forgot my birthday. I never forgot their generous gift to our daughter Pat when she lost her husband.
Thank you for being in our life, though distance kept us apart. You were a blessing, and will be greatly missed. Of all the people we have loved and known who have left this life, we will miss you most.
Condolences to our west coast cousins. Family was always important to them, so the greatest thing you can do in your parents memory is to love one another.
With Love,
Cousins Wilma & Paul

Hi Mom, getting ready to drive down south for Thanksgiving. I can't believe this will be the 1st without the both of you!!! All I can think about is how we ate your pumpkin pies on thanksgiving morning when we were kids! You made so many pies and none of your kids followed that crazy habit!!! How you did all that with 9 kids is beyond me. Love you and miss you tons..can you tell?

I loved Gloria. She sang at our Wedding,and had the voice of an angel. She was a good friend to my mother, Annette. I will remember her laugh and yelling bunco, as she joins most of the the bunco group now in heaven.

When my cousin Lisa married into the family, I thought Lisa was such a lucky girl to marry into such a wonderful, fun family! Nothing like GREAT in-laws I told Lisa ! I feel like the Veltos are part of my family and I hope always will..Gloria and Al always made me feel that way when David and I and our kids were ever around them..They were two of the sweetest people I've ever met..My thoughts and prayers are with the family..

Grandma, even though you're gone away,
we knew you didn't come to stay
your life is like a dove,
so kind, sweet and gentle, above,
we've laughed with you, we've cried with you we've shared a wonderful life with you
when I think of you,
I remember the things you used to do,
I miss you grandma
more and more
I just can't stop the tears that form.
I think of this as an irreproachable crime,
no ones at fault, but it was merely your time,
you taught me to love- I shall not forget
It's the greatest gift of all, so why should I fret?
Do not worry about me grandma
where ever my life takes me, I'll always carry your name
And the memories burning in my heart, an eternal flame,
please help me stay strong grandma, I don't want to cry,
but it's just so hard for me to say goodbye.
Now we must release you , like a dove,
our minds are at ease,
our hearts are at peace,
because we know you've landed in the arms of love,
we must release you like a dove.

Even though I didn't see her often, I remember Aunt Gloria's big smile, warm hugs, and sparkling eyes as they reflected the kind, caring, wonderful woman she was. She will be greatly missed, and my East Coast thoughts are with all the West Coast cousins as they grieve. Love to all!

My thoughts and prayers go out to all of the Velto family during this time of great loss. I have had the honor of knowing the Velto family for over 40 years. Your parents always made me feel welcome and as if I was apart of the family. My greatest memory of your parents is your dad in the kitchen making soup and your mother sitting at the kitchen table just talking to one another and enjoying each others company. Your parents were always quick to say come and join us (breakfast, lunch or dinner). I share in your loss as a member of your extended family and want you to know just how thankful I am that I got to know your parents and that they were there for me as they were for all of you. I am sure that your parents are enjoying each others company and the love that they shared for one another right now as they did on earth. Your parents as well as all of you will forever be in my thoughts and prayers. May God bless you Mrs. "V" and rest in peace.

We all lived in a row on Euclid Ave. Beth Ann, Jenny, Me and next to the Norton's, Diane. We were all the same age and when Leslie moved into your house, she was the same age as us girls too. My dad built the houses we lived in. When we were outside playing and you called for your children, we all came running! As for my mother, when it was time to come in, she let out a whistle you could here for a block away! That's the way it was back then. I will always remember you Mrs. Velto! Thank you for the memories. And say hello to my mama for me......much love, Nancy

Mom, 13 days since you've gone on and it doesn't get easier. Knowing that you are with Pop is the most comforting feeling I can actually relate to. I knew that this was what you had wanted for a while and hopefully, you are completely out of the pain that you were enduring these past few years. Vincent misses you so very much, as do the rest of us. Well now I must say REST EASY to the both of you and remember.......NO SOUP!!!!!!!!!!!
Love you!!!

Mom
Can't believe you have been gone almost 2 week, we noticed the phone is a bit quieter these days, keep thinking you will at some point call and we'll hear the ring & the phone always annouced "N Gloria Velto" Really do miss you but realize you are where you've wanted to be for so long. I've talked to so many family members and friends in the past few weeks, many I've not spoken to in many years, but you would call & talk to them a regular basis & they all have said how much they will miss your calls, but know how much you wanted to be with daddy....love you, always Dianne & Chuck
