Dear Dominick, Frank, Raymond and Deanna

Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. We'll always remember your mother, as she was a very loving and caring individual. We will never forget the many happy times we spent with her and your father at Dover High School wrestling matches. They were a landmark at DHS and I will never forget the support they gave to you (her sons) and to my wrestling teams at DHS. Both of them will always have a special place in our family's heart. Judy and I are sorry we were not able to express our sympathy in person, but we were not able to leave Fl on short notice. On a more pleasant thought-- she is now in heaven and has been reunited with your father. We are sure that the Lord is smiling on both of them.

We wish to express our deepest sympathy

Dear Dominick, Deanna, Frankie, Ray and all relatives of dear Marguerite. I am so sorry to hear on Sunday of Marguerite's passing. She was my mom's wonderful friend and cousin of many years. My brother, sister and myself all grew up in Dover with the Sareinelli's and our parents lives continued on for many many years after the children all grew up. I am so very sorry I for not being able to get to Jersey in time to attend but in my heart I loved Marguerite as did all my family and will remember many times both of them at my parents house playing cards and laughing - but one thing i always remember at the ripe ol age of 19 or 20 coming out of my bathroom with two three or even four different perfumes on with Marguerite saying "Maryann you can only wear one or two fragerences but no more than two! I just laughed and went on my merry way. To all the children you were so fortunate to have her in your lives for so many years and whenever I ran into her with her dancing shoes on she always mentioned her children in our conversations. She was so alive and so happy with life. God Bless all of you, and I surely hope both your parents and my parents will meet in heaven with either a deck of cards or their dancing shoes on! With much love MaryAnn Borzomati (Rampone)

Dear Deanna, Dominick, Frankie & Ray

So sorry for your loss. Words can not express the loss of a MOTHER.

I will always remember MOM, Do you remember when your MOM made jewerly? I still have a piece (poodle pin)which my mom bought for me when I was a little girl.

She will always be remembered as Marguerite from the Hill. Her neighbors will miss her dearly. My Dad, Frank also sends his prayers for the family.

I just saw her this past Christmas at the NARFE Christmas party. I always made it a point to see her every christmas and give her a big hug and kiss.
MOM always looked beautiful. She was one the most lovely ladies in town.

I also remember going into Goodales when I was little just to see her, and the times we went to your aunts store down the street, if I remember correctly. Where did the years go?

You are all in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

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.
