Benjamin "Ben" Crisafulli

Ben was my good buddy when I was very young.i lived across the street(on Tremont)and we spend many happy days playing with toy trucks in my grandfathers garden.

Rose, my deepest sympathy.

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...

We are so sorry about the loss of Benny. We are thinking of you Aunt Rose. Love, Dave, Anne, Mattison, Jake and Nicholas Belardo

Aunt Rosie

There are no words to let you know how terrible I feel that I did not get to see Benny recently. It seems that every time we tried to plan on visiting something would happen. To think that I was right at St Peters all last week on the first floor and did not know he was there makes it harder. I know that he is at peace now and with Uncle Sam, my mother and Uncle Frank as well as the rest of the family who have already made it to heaven. RIP my dear cousin. With much love. ...

SAFELY HOME

I am home in Heaven, dear ones;
Oh so happy and so bright!
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light.
All the pain and grief is over,
Every restless tossing passed;
I am now at peace forever,
Safely home in Heaven at last.
Did you wonder I so calmly
Trod the valley of the shade?
Oh, but Jesus' love illumined
Every dark and fearful glade.
And He came Himself to meet me
In that way so hard to tread;
And with Jesus' arm...

To Rose, my deepest Sympathy. I know both you and Benny enjoyed coming to hear me play in the Activity Room at Albany county. You were that "Special Mother" for Ben all these years,

Benny
We will really miss you here at Albany County Nursing Home.You have been part of our family here for a long time. I hope that you are at peace! Rebecca
