Grandmom,

In two days it will be four months since your death. It hasn't gotten any better. It still hurts so bad. I just miss you so much I don't know how else to describe it. I feel like our family is coping with it so much better than I am. I go to the cemetary sometimes & just sit there and cry because I miss you so much. Mommy and I went to your house the other day. Being there is so hard because I know you'll never be there again. I sat in the livingroom on the couch and cried and then I went outside & picked some of the roses in the garden like I used to when I was little. Graduation was so hard, Gram. I looked for you in the stands where Mommy & Daddy were sitting and it killed me when I realized you weren't there. I just wish so much you could come back to me and just hold me in your arms one last time. Gabby asks about you often, Gram. I'll try not to let her forget you even though Mommy says she probably will eventually. Aunt Frannie & Uncle Vince are in Italy, Mommy and I feel like you'll be coming home with them in September. Rita & Frank got engaged, their planning a March wedding. Patrick is getting so big, he was only two weeks old when you died. I know this sounds wierd like I'm filling you in on everything like in a letter but I feel like I should for some reason even though you see everything. Gram, I love you so much. I miss you so much & I wish I could be with you. I'll miss you more & more everyday until the day I see you again.



Love,

Ashley

Grandmom,

It's been almost 2 months since you passed away & still feel like you are away in Italy or Florida. I miss you so much. I feel like this is all a bad dream & I'll walk into your house & you'll be sitting on the couch watching tv or cooking in the kitchen. I wish I had more time with you. I'll never forget the time last summer when you, Mommy and I were watching a movie down the shore and you were laughing at me because I had my eyes covered because it was a scary part. You made me the person I am today, I just hope you realize that. Graduation is only 20 days away and you won't be there. That hurts me so bad. Please know that you'll be with me at Graduation and I owe so much to you. I'll never get over your passing. I know your not hurting anymore and your happy with Grandpop, Uncle Al, Uncle Sal and Uncle Eddie but I'm just so unhappy without you here. I feel so alone now that your gone. I promise I'll be careful when I go away to school in the fall, you were so worried about me going away to school. Please give me a sign, Gram. Show me you hear me. Sometimes I just want to go to the cemetary and sit there but when I get there I don't feel your presence. I know your soul is in heaven. I love you so much, Gram, and I miss you so much. I would do anything to bring you back. I'll miss you more and more everyday until the day I see you again

Love,

Staci & Michael Sylvester

To the Tarsitano Family,

I am so sorry for your loss. I have the fondest memories of you mom. I enjoyed living next door for many years and getting to know you all - it was really an extension of our family. I do & will continue to remember the wonderful food, sitting in the kitchen and trying to understand your mom as much as she would try to understand me ( always with one of you translating). I am lucky to have known her and your dad. Please Accept my sincerest sympathy, I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.
