Desiree Mesolella Obituary
Desiree was an accomplished artist and was attending Adelphi University, Long Island, New York on a Talent Scholarship. She was looking forward to a career in fashion and photography. She was a participant in the Miss Teen Rhode Island Pageant for several years and won both the evening gown and swimsuit competitions.
She especially loved the time she spent with her brothers, Derek and Cenzi and her sister Christina. She loved life and all the laughs and good times with her friends. Her sense of humor brightened our lives each and every day.
Besides her parents and siblings, she leaves her paternal grandmother Rose (Musumeci) Mesolella and her maternal grandmother, Janice (Keech) Surprenant. She was the granddaughter of the late Vincent J. Mesolella, Sr. and the late Roland Surprenant.
Relatives and friends are invited to attend a Mass of Christian Burial Thursday at 10am in the Cathedral of SS. Peter and Paul, Cathedral Square, Providence. Visiting hours respectfully omitted. Burial will be in St. Ann Cemetery, Cranston.
In lieu of flowers, donations in her memory may be made to the Desiree Mesolella Memorial Art Scholarship Fund, c/o 235 Promenade St., Suite 140, Providence, RI 02908 maceroni.com

On behalf of the entire Mesolella family, we extend our blessings. Your beautiful angel was meant to fly. As Socrates wrote,"The end of life is to be like God, and the soul following God will be like Him." I think of Desiree when I read this quote, God Bless you.
Sincerely,
Dr. Christianne Mesolella

Desiree was a stunning young woman. She was beautiful and full of life. No matter where she was, what she was doing, or who she was with, Dez had this contagious smile. She had this way about her. Just being around her could brighten my day. Attending Adelphi, I had only known Desiree for one year, but she touched my life each and every time i spoke to her. She truly was unique and unlike anyone else I have or will ever meet. Desiree will never be forgotten. May she rest in peace.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the Mesolella family. May God help and guide you through this difficult time.
God Bless

Dear Mr. & Mrs Mesolella,
I never had the pleasure of meeting Desiree. But she was a friend of my dear niece Nicole and classmate. She has brought many smiles to Nicole and they had alot of fun together. She will be truly missed. May God Bless you and your family during these trying times.
Daddy please don`t look so sad,
Mommy please don`t cry.
I am in the arms of Jesus
and He sings me lullabies.
Please do not try to question God,
don`t think He is unkind.
Don`t think He sent me to you and that
He changed His mind.
You see, I am special
and I`m needed up above.
I`m the special child you gave Him,
the product of your love.
I`ll always be there with you.
So watch the sky at night.
Find the brightest star that`s gleaming.
That`s my halo`s brilliant light.
So Daddy please don`t look so sad.
Mommy please don`t cry.
I am in the arms of Jesus.
And He sings me lullabies.
With deepest sympathy,

I am very sorry for your loss. I was a sophmore at BayView when Dez was a senior. I had switched schools not knowing anybody and Dez made me feel so welcomed at the school (even though i was two years younger than her) She was a big part of the reason i stayed at BayView. She was always happy, laughing and joking around. Desiree has truly touched me. I will never forget her she was great friend, my thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

Dear friends,
Although our hearts are heavy and we are deeply saddened by Desiree's tragedy, we truly appreciate all of the spiritual thoughts and wishes being offered to our family.
We are attempting to get through each day, although our bright and shining star has been taken from our lives. We will miss Desiree, our little princess, dearly each and everyday of our lives. Hopefully the art schlorship we are forming in her memory (details of which can be found in her obituary) will help her spirit to continue in the lives of others.
God Bless,

I am deeply sorry for your loss. I graduated with Desiree in 2006 i knew her well when we were in middle school but I wish I continued our friendship in high school. It is truly a devastating loss and to think it could have been anyone. There are no words that can describe how you feel and no words to comfort you. I am deeply sorry and shocked by the death of such a beautiful girl.
Rest Easy and Peacefully Desiree
