Hi Mom,
I have not written to you in along time, I am sorry. I want you to know that since I had Nicolette I miss you more than ever. I wanted you to be here with me to raise my daughter. I needed you more than ever now. It is so hard for me to raise her without you. I know you are here with me in spirits, but I need you physcially. I had so much help from nane thank god. Your gone 2 years and it feels like yesterday. I think of you all of the time and it is so hard for me to still realize you are gone. I try to be strong for Daddy, Chris and everyone else, but I need to let my feelings out. You know how much this baby means to all of us and everyday it is something new for us. I want you to know she is the best baby in the world and everyday I tell her stories about the most wonderful mother in the world and that is you. Grandma is sick now and I am getting nervous because things don't look so good please keep us strong. Nicolette is right next to me in her excersaucer playing. I got her ears pierced and she looks cute. You see everything that is going on and we miss you and we love you soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much. Mom you hold a very special place in my heart and you are always with me. I wish I could get a hug from you right now because I need it, so I will go hug my baby girl. You are my angel forever. Love always your daughter and granddaughter

Hi Mamadukes. Today is a very sad day. It is exactly 1 Year since your passing. I wish I could be in Florida with Jeanine right now. I saw her a couple of days ago at your memorial in the Bronx. Papadukes, Chris, Nani and everyone else was there. I'm sure you know about Jeanine being pregnant. I am so happy for her and Dave and am sure that you are too. I know she misses you greatly. Thankfully she has a strong family and friends behind her. I am going to help her in every way that I can. She is going to be a great mother! Because she'll take with her everything she learned from you growing up. Miss you very much. I'll write soon. Hugs and Kisses from your "other" daughter in Brooklyn!!!

Hi Mom:

I have not written in a while, but it doesn't mean we don't think about you. I am sure you know that Me, Dave, Chris, and Amanda went on a cruise for a week. We had such a great time. It was our first trip together since you left us. Dad is doing fine. Dave, myself, and the babies are going to your house next weekend, so we can all hang out together. I have been so busy with school and it is getting hard. I was on the radio in NY last night and Didi+Vinny were listening. I gave a shot out to the both of them. We love you so much and miss you so much. I will keep you updated in everything. I love you Mom..Love always your daughter and son in law

Mamadukes.... Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you!!! I just wanted to let you know that I think of you every day. I want to thank you and papadukes, back in 2000, for convincing me to move in with Jeanine. Thank you sooo much for caring about me like I was your daughter. I also wanted to thank you for Jeanine. She IS my SISTER. I will always be here for her to help her in every way that I can. I know that she is heartbroken without you but she gets by just knowing that you are always watching over her, guiding her, and advising her to make the strides that she is making. Chris and Amanda seem to be doing ok. As for Papadukes, just watch over him and give him stregnth to get through everyday. I love you all so much. I wish Luciano could have gotten to know you. He would have loved you like he loves Jeanine. Well, I was thinking of you and just wanted to say hello and tell you I miss you. I love you.

To my beloved cousin Harriet,

I have been thinking about you a lot, especially with this time of year. I hope that you give us all strength to get through the holidays. I spoke to your mommy last night and tried to help her. She wanted me to write to you and tell you that she misses you terribly . . . as so do the rest of us. It is hard for her to understand why but I told her that you were probably looking down on her and telling her not to cry. Jeanine and I email sometimes and I was glad to find out that she is going to nursing school. I tried to encourage her and I am truly proud of her. I am sure that you are looking down on her and are proud too. I love you and miss you a lot. I hope that Pat, Jeanine, Christopher, David, Amanda and the rest of your families on both sides will be able to get through the holidays. It just feels so unbearable. Once again I love you and I'll talk to you soon.

With my love always,

your cousin Anna Durkovic

Dear Mom:

Hi! well, I just want you to know how much I love and miss you. These last two weeks have been very hard for me. I just want to pick up the phone and talk to you. I really miss all of our conversations that we had. I guess reality is setting in that you will not be walking through the door. I am hurting so bad inside that I feel so empty. I know you are looking down on me, but right now I feel that I can't go on without you. You will always be my best friend and I can hear your voice now telling me it will be ok. Tomorrow will be our first holiday without you and it will be very sad. Nana is here and she will be cooking for us. Dave will be with his family and Amanda is in Arkansas. I know you would not want us to be seperated this year, but this is the way it turned out. I am back in school for my RN and I finally put my mind into something that we always talked about. I always took your advice, but you know me it always took me a little longer to realize certain things. Mom please show me a sign of strength for all of us and help us get through this hard time. Good night for now I will write tomorrow. I love you soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

o much. Love always your daughter

Hi "Haaaaiiiir" (in the New York accent) :) I really miss you. It's weird because I have only known you for 6 months, due to our long SLOW days at the shop talking for 8 hours straight. I 110% literally feel like I have known you all my life. (2nd mommy). I really do think of you every day. I MISS YOU HAIR XOXOOOO -"Dizzy" ;P

I can't believe how long it seems like I have tried to talk to you or laughed with you. I really miss you so much. I think we could have been such good friends. Every day I go in the tanning bed, I think of all the silly things we laughed about. Remember when your husband was yelling at you and you played it so well I thought he was really yelling at you and you almost peed your pants. I miss you. Missy

Harriet,

It seems like just yesterday that all the boys were at your house sitting in the kitchen, just talking and enjoying your home cooking. Growing up in Monroe I spent almost every weekend at your house and have some of my best memories there. You and Pat treated me like a second son and I will never forgot that. There's not a day that goes bye that I don't think about you and your family. Even though your not here on earth with us anymore, you will always be with us in our Minds and our Hearts. God Bless!

Love,

Hello Mom! Here is your picture taken at the Bronx Zoo. There is not one day that goes by that we don't think of you. We love you so much and miss you. You are our angel and keep watching over us. Everyone that sees this picture says I look exactly like you.

August 18, 2005

Well we don't know exactly what to write we are not so good with words. We hadn't leave enough with our aunt but we both sure love her. We remember that she was always happy and that is what we must remember from her, to leave our life every minute and try to forget the sad thoughts from our mind.

with love the nephews

Dear Pat, Jeanine & family -

I only knew Harriet as a business acquaintance for 6 months, but she was one of the sweetest people I have ever met. I was very upset & depressed when I heard of her death. It was a privilege to know her. I still feel lucky to have met her and all of you -- her wonderful family. Please carry on as best you can, especially you, Pat. You know she would want the best for you.

Our love and condolences -

Harriet,

There is so much to say, but its hard to find the words. Thanking you seems to come to mind first. For always being so thoughtful, supportive and caring. For being another sister, a best friend, a favorite Aunt. For all the special memories. For holding my hand at the hospital when I was scared. For bringing a birthday cake for Bella to the hospital when Joey was born. For this beautiful house and all it's history and memories that we feel honored to continue. For all the daily dragonflies visits that show us that you are still here. For all the magical things we know you made happen after you passed. You are missed deeply and will be loved eternally. You are always on our minds and in our prayers.

We love you......

Gabriella Beltrami

Dear Aunt Harriet,

Once you died everyone had a broken heart. I hope God is watching over you, and I hope your watching over us. Your family and us love you soooo much. When I found out that you died I cried sooo much. I want you to be safe in heaven. I'm missing your face. When I go to Florida I will come to see you and bring you flowers and go to your house to cheer up Uncle Pat, Christopher and Amanda. I will give Phoebe a big kiss...

Love Gabriella

Hey Aunt Harriet,

Everyday goes by and I can't believe that I could never say I love you and I am sorry for not being able to spend more time with you. But everything happens in God's hands and I want you to know I love you now and forever. I am here with Aunt Didi and Nicole talking. I am so glad that I am back with all of you. I just got a new apartment and I am staring my life over, a new job, school, and apt. I am so happy and know that you are looking down on all of us and I thank you. I miss you and love you, keeping looking over us our loving angel. Love you aunt Harry.

Hi Ha,

They say only the good die young, in your case that is absolutely true, you are one special lady.The kids, Paul and I do a lot of reminising about all the good times we shared through the years. Of course my memories go further back to when we were kids. I look at pictures of us and am saddened to think I will never hear your voice or your laugh until we meet again. Spending those few short days with you, Pat and the kids in March were great. I am happy we got the chance to visit.We didnt talk often these past few years, however, when we did, it was like we had talked only the day before. I miss seeing you online every day, knowing I could just say hi and you would answer. I love you.... Pat, Jeanine, Dave, Chris and Amanda, my heart goes out to all of you.

Patricia

July 30, 2005

Aunt Harriet

I still can't believe you're gone. I look at your phone number in my cell phone everyday. I remember calling you, "Harriet, what are you doing Harriet?" No matter how many times a day I called or how busy you were, you always had time for me.

I'll never forget showing up at your doorstep to surprise you and share the news that I just bought a house nearby. I don't know which one of us was more excited. We had all these plans for when I move down full time.

I look back at our first encounter, you were marrying my Uncle Pat and I was going to be a Flower Girl. At 7 yrs. old and very much a Tom Boy, I was not happy about it. Remember? The "Flower girl", nails, hair and makeup done, was told to sit and "don't mess yourself up." I said to myself that this is not that bad, I'll try and stay out of trouble. The limo's were downstairs waiting, how long could this be? While sitting at the kitchen table, I started playing with a bunch of tubes filled with liquid. How did I know at 7 yrs. old that the liquid was glue and it would soon glue my eye shut.

Everyone was in a panic, pouring whatever they could get their hands on into my eye to try and get it open. I remember at some point during the chaos, you, on your Wedding Day said to me "It's ok tootsie." Everyone was upset with me except the Bride. Only you would be so understanding.

This understanding that you displayed that day, never changed throughout my life.

My heart aches for the times that we will not get to share but will always cherish the time we did have.

I miss you Aunt Harriet, Florida is not the same without you.

Love,

Your niece Patricia

My dear Harriet,

I miss you very much. I find myself coming to this website to read all the wonderful things people are writing about you and for you. I cry as I read and I cry as I write. My heart aches for the longing we all share to have you back with us again. You are in my thoughts constantly and in my heart forever.

Love your friend, Cheryl

ALTHOUGH I FIND IT POINTLESS IN ASKING WHY MY NEWEST AND MOST WONDERFUL FRIEND WAS TAKEN AWAY SO ABRUPTLY, I CAN'T HELP BUT REGRET MISSING OUT ON HOW PERFECT THINGS WOULD HAVE BEEN HAD THIS TRAGEDY NOT TAKEN PLACE. WE OPENED THE RESTAURANT TWO WEEKS AGO AND NOT TO MAKE YOU FEEL BAD BUT I HAVE TO TELL YOU IT WAS A LITTLE EMPTY WITHOUT YOU. YOU WERE THERE THROUGH THE HARDSHIPS AND FRUSTRATIONS AND YOUR LAUGHTER AND GOOD NATURE MADE IT ALL SEEM BEARABLE. HARRIET, I MISS YOU SO MUCH. YOUR WARMTH AND BEAUTY, INSIDE AND OUT, IS EVIDENT TO ME EVERY TIME I SEE PAT'S FACE. HE TRIES TO BE STRONG AND ALL I CAN PROMISE IS THAT I'LL BE THERE FOR HIM IN WHATEVER WAY HE LETS ME. I'VE GOTTEN TO KNOW JANINE AND CHRIS AND WHAT A NICE FAMILY YOU MUST HAVE BEEN. I HOPE ALL IS WELL UP THERE AND I'LL TALK TO YOU REAL SOON----YOU'RE LOVING FRIEND PETER

Dear Mom:

Today is your forty day memorial. We are going to church and Nana is having something in NY for you. There is not a day that goes by that I am not thinking of you. You are a special woman and I am so proud that you are our mom. Dave and I got a new truck yesterday. We got a Nissan Murano and we know that you love Nissan. Your tanning salon is going well and you have alot of new clients. (keep sending them in). We miss and love you so much. Love always your daughter and son in law (Our angel keep looking down on us)

To my beloved first cousin Harriet,

I know deep down inside that you are watching over us and your spirit is wiith us. There is not a day that goes by that I do not think of you, especially when I log onto my computer at night to check my email. I would look forward to reading your messages. You cared so much about your family and your relatives up here in CT. I remember your last email to me was about how my son Peter and your daughter Jeanine share the same birthday. You had a sentimental side to you that I will never forget. It hurt me so much that I could not be at your funeral having little kids and a sick dad to watch over. I am going to your forty day service this Sunday in NY and I will light you a candle. God granted you wings to fly to heaven and we will never know why so soon. I miss you and I love you,

Your first cousin

Dear Pat and family,

As each day comes and goes I think of my dear friend Harriet and the tears just come. I miss her sweet presence, her bubbly laugher, and her on-going conversations. I know she is with all of us each day and she is wanting us to think of all the happy times and not to be sad. What a special lady!

Harriet was a great friend and neighbor to me as well as my family.

I have fond memories of Harriet and when I think of all the funny things we have done together, and all of the flowers we've looked at, and all of the friendly chit-chat we've had, I feel lucky to have known her.

May God send his peace to you and your family.

Love, Carla

Dear Pat and family,

Everyone here at Principle Properties was so sorry and so shocked to hear of Harriet's passing. Although I met you both briefly during your leasing process for the new store, her hopes, dreams, sincerity and genuine happy, kind, demeanor, bolstered by Pat's steady, strong presence, made a marked impression on me. I was happy to start with her on her way to fulfilling a dream with her business and am sorrowed to know, it ended too soon. I deeply cared. Nancy Butler, Principle Properties

To the family of Harriet Picaro, My prayers are with you during this most difficult time. Although I only met Harriet once I knew her through her sister-in-law. I know that the loss of a loved one is the most difficult thing a person can endure. I also know that the pain of sorrow does diminish but the memories & the void in your heart will remain. I pray that you know that Harriet has taken her place in heaven and looks down on her loved ones with a smile of an angel.

Harriet,

I listened to so many stories from your friends and family about what an angel you were. I only knew you for a short time but I know those stories were true.

I will never forget how you made me feel accepted into your home and as a friend. You helped to make the move to Florida tolerable. I so looked forward to my tanning salon visits. You were a great listener. I vented a lot about house problems but it never seemed to bother you. I enjoyed watching you and Pat work together in the salon. I will miss the laughter we all shared.

Again, I didn't know you that long but everyday something happens to remind me of you. Paint colors, talk of hurricanes, planting flowers and of course, ice cream.

You were taken too soon but I'm glad I got to know you. I will miss you.

Jill

Dear Pat and family,

I think about Harriet daily. She was the sweetest person I had ever met. I can still picture her visiting my office or standing in her salon. She was such a happy, sincere woman and I was blessed to have known her. I am so very sorry for the pain you and your family are going through and can only hope that over time, the pain will ease. I know that Harriet must be watching you from Heaven. She was a true angel.

Sincerely,

Bettina

Dear Mom:

Today is one month that you left us. We miss you so much and we are always thinking of you. God took you away from us and we are still trying to figure out why. I guess we will never have the answer, but he did need an angel like you to help him. I have changed so much since you left and I am trying to make the right decisions, but I will always need your spirit to help me. Dad, Dave, Chris, Amanda, Chasey, Pheobe, and Hank are doing ok, but it is not the same without the main person in our lives. We love you and please make sure we are all ok. Love always your daughter and best friend.

To the family of Harriet Picaro

I met Harriet through the employment of my daughter Kelli, who worked part time in the begining at the front desk of the tanning salon. My daughter was so impressed with the warmeth and kindness Harriet showed her as a person. She enjoyed so much going to work knowing Harriet would be there. I had the fortune of meeting Harriet at the salon and she , and her husband were very kind to me also. With all due respect the family and friends of Harriet Picaro were very lucky to have known her, and she will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
