To the family of Donald Mancini,
Words cannot begin to describe the sadness I have in my heart at the loss of Poppy. The love and admiration that he had for his family is truly a wonder. He not only was a devoted husband, but a loving family man. I remember many fond memories on memorial day weekends. We would have so much fun in the pool and never stopped eating- ( Nauny made sure of that ) He is now with the love of his life, and at peace. My sincerest condolences.

dearest Nick,Candy,Mary and Ersilia,
dearest Ro, Virg&Bob,
dearest family we wish we could be closer and together as the golden days to hug you all in this so tuft and so sad moment of sorrow.
Ciao Don, marvellous cuz, marvellous human beeing, I'll miss you and keep you in my heart and prayers.
Together with my children, Sandro, Elizabeth and Minda and,from the other side of the big pond, we are -as always- so very close to you ALL and, as St.Augustine says :
"If You Love Me, Do Not Cry
If You Love Me, Do Not Cry
Don't cry if you love me
If you know God's grace
And what Heaven is like,
If you were able to listen
To the angel songs
And you see me among them,
If you were able to think for awhile
About the beauty
That no other beauty can match,
Wipe your tears and do not cry,
If you love me.
Death is nothing.
It is just having moved to the other side.
I am still what I am and you are still what you are.
What we used to be for each other is still the same.
Call me by the name you used to.
And talk to me as you have done before.
Do not use a different tone.
Do not be rigid or sad.
Continue to laugh about what used to make us laugh.
Pray for me.
Smile.
Think of me and pray with me.
Let my name be mentioned at home as before.
Without any exaggeration or distress.
Life continues to mean what it always did.
And it is still the same
The thread did not break.
Do you feel I have become outside of your thoughts
Because I am far from your sight?
No.
I am not far from you.
I am just on the other side of the road,
And everything is fine.
You will find my heart and my love pure.
Wipe your tears and do not cry.
If you love me."
Say Hi to Maria, Rocco,Irene,uncle Nick and aunt Carrie.
I,We Love you Don.
I,We Love you Family.
With our prayers,
Rosemary Rosetta de Franciscis and
children

Mr mancini, there is not enough space in this guest book to let your family know how much you meant to our family (The Grants). No matter which one of us was knocking on that door you always greeted us with a huge friendly welcome. I loved it when you called me Suzie. The old neighborhood will never be the same. See you again someday. Candy, Nicky, Mary,Donna and Ursulia. I'm so sorry for your loss. Susan, Mike, Laura and Michael Ryan
