To The Milano Family
My deepest sorrow for all of you. Your Mom was a beautiful person, She always knew how to make you smile . She had a heart of Gold,and was loved by all who crossed her path, especially mine. She was my best friend. Whenever I was around I felt special and loved. She was the only person I could really talk too. I will miss that alot but most of all I will miss her. We had alot of fun times together in and out of work. God took her from us , but deep down in my heart I know she is in a better place. They say God only takes the good. Not only did He the a good person He took the best. She will always have a special place in my Heart for her and never forget her. I miss my best friend.She is in Heaven and is watching over all of us. God bless you all and remember she is with those who she touched the most.
Love Always, Lori C

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.

To the Milano family,

Zia Angela you will be sadly missed. She is now at peace with God. God has taken her for an unknown reason to us. All we can do is remember the memories we have shared. She can rest in the lord's hands and smile down. She has gone and met with all the loves ones who have passed before. I know that we are questioning god but he has his plan for all of us and all we can do is trust in him. I was told that Zia Angela's favorite holiday was Thanksgiving, we will all be sure to eat a lot of food. Zia Angela, You will be in out thoughts.

Love your nephew James and niece Kristin. :)

Hi Ma,
I can't even believe your gone. This doesn't seem real. No words can ever express how much you mean to me. You are the best and most important person in my life. I don't even know what to say. I am just so.. relieved that you are not in pain anymore. You suffered too... long. You don't deserve it. There are so many people that love you. It is amazing how many lives you have touched. You definitely are one of kind. You will never and could never be replaced. God has his plans and I will never be able to figure them out. I know you are watching over us and will not miss a thing. Your memories will be with us forever. You will never be forgotten Ma. You are our angel now. I am going to miss you.
Rest in peace.

Love you Ma
