Mark and Guarracino family
In the Depths of Grief, for I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth nor any other creature shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Chirst Jesus our Lord.

Your are not alone in the midst of a crowd of friends and relatives who have come to comfort and console you. I know that no matter how you feel or act the friends and family love you.

May God's Love confort you during this difficult time.

To All of the Guarracino Family,

How saddened I am to have heard of Josephine's passing. I have prayed everyday for Josephine's health and happiness since the beginning as they have been answered for a period of time. It was a very touchy subject, but everytime Compare came to my parents house I had to ask "How's Josephine?" He would shrug his shoulders. Comare and Compares family is like my family. How we will all miss her. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this very difficult time.

Love,

Sandra Maxwell

To the WHOLE Guraccino family. This road has been a long one and a painful one, but always remember the good times you shared with Josephine and all the memories each of you will hold dear to your heart, each and every day. To Mark, you are an angel here, taking care of Josephine every day; when Elisa would tell me how patient you were and how you did everything I knew she and her whole family was blessed to have you there. Please know that our prayers for your whole family are with you from our home to yours. Josephine fought very hard but we all tire from the fighting eventually, she is know smiling down on all of you and she feels the LOVE that you all have for her. KNow that she is in PEACE and in a beautiful garden awaiting her time with all of you again.
Love and prayers

To: Mr & Mrs. Guarracino, Ann Marie,Hector, Kristina,Deanna,& Christopher, Guarracino family, and Mark Badger,

We have a common bond
A silver lining that binds each heart
It unites us in the end and teaches a brand new start

We've each experienced heartbreak
Like a rushing river's flow
We've felt such tears of sorrow
And we become afraid to just let go

Overwhelmed by such grief
That reveal great aches in our soul
Wondering why love hurts so much
As we lose our sense of whole

Our sunny days become cloudy
Our nights bring on a chill
We pray for a bright tomorrow
As we try to just get over that hill

We try to stay busy
Busy enough to forget our pain
And put that smile upon our face
And wonder if we're insane

We understand each other
Without ever saying a word
And with one small touch
We know that we were heard

I'm grateful you have a loving family
In whom you can rely
I'm happy you have someone
To hold you when you cry

I'm grateful to the Lord
That in His love we can depend
And I pray for each of you daily
That your hearts will truly mend

Although your lives have changed
And the pain will some what subside
Be truly grateful for your family & faith
With hugs and support to be your guide

This thread that binds your hearts
A bond that will not fray
My words so small I give as a gift
To this family so proud and strong
But remember when all is said and done
God will bless you all life long.

Our Sincere Condolences,
Michele & Nelson Torres + Family
