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...

Dear Aunt Mary and Family,
We will always miss Uncle Tommy even though we know he has moved on to a life everlasting, free of pain and suffering. I can still picture Uncle Tommy pulling up in front of our home in Windsor Locks in his DeCarli truck and visiting with my Mom. It always made her day, it was something special. I will never forget the cook outs you guys had and how much fun we kids had while Dad and Uncle Tommy played the big band music and as Uncle Tommy would sometimes grab...

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

Dear Aunt Mary and children of Tom (my wonderful uncle). I want to express my sincere sympathy to all of you. I have been praying for everyone these last few months and know how difficult it must have been. I hope you will find some comfort knowing that so many people are thinking of you right now. I will always remember Uncle Tom's kindness and wonderful sense of humor. He will be greatly missed, but his spirit will always remain.
Love, Elaine (Cyr) Messer

Dear Aunt Mary, Tommy, Noreen, Michael, Teresa, Sean, Rachel, Timmy and families,

Words cannot express my sympathy to you in the loss of your dear husband and dad (my Uncle Tommy). He was such a special person to me and to everyone who was lucky enough to know him. He was always upbeat, kind, happy, a true gentle man. I will always remember him as so caring, interested in knowing how all his family members were doing and what was going on in their lives. I have so many wonderful...
