Pasquale Pontoriero

Dear Joe and family: I did not learn of your loss until afterwards but want you to know that our prayers are with you all. As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life’s routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends. May Patsy rest in peace of our Lord & Savior!

To Pat's entire family, especially Joseph....

My thoughts & heartfelt prayers are with you all at this most sorrowful time. Pat was a good brother-in-law and a very special person. I will always remember him with a smile and will pray for his deliverance into God's loving arms.

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...

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Pasquale,
We have known you since childhood and we know what a struggle your life has been. We know that now you are at peace and you are in our thoughts and prayers. May the Lord comfort your family in this most difficult time. Goodbye buddy Oliver st. will never be the same again.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Mike, I am sorry to hear of your loss of your brother. I read the Star Ledger on line and saw the notice. Your family is in my prayers.

May you find solace in "the Father of tender mercies and God of ALL comfort" (2Corinthians 1:3, 4), along with the reservoir of fond memories that you shared with your beloved Pasquale through the years. The moments that you spent with Pasquale cannot be compared to the finest of gold/silver. They are unique because they will endure and warm your hearts and minds for ages to come.

Sincerely yours,
