To Antoinette



I was sorry to hear of Adman passing

and remember all the good times at the Market on Woodland Ave, times I baby sat for your two boys. The Times when Adam got so mad at me when he was teaching me how to play

Poker with him and Domenic and the times when Christine couldn't hit the buzzer fast enough when you cam in the store and caught us playing cards after closing. Adam was a good one. Antoinette take care of yourself.

To Antoinette, Gino, Chris and Adam,



Words are insufficient at times like these because no one can feel your loss the way you do. Be not discouraged because God has sent his heavenly Angels to watch over you during your time of loss. Adam may be absent from us physically but his memories and his spirit shall be with us until the end of time. Adam has closed his eyes here on earth but he shall live forever with our Lord and savior in heaven. It is written in the God’s word “To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.” The Lord also tells us that “weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.” Take Joy in knowing that Adam suffers no more, take joy in knowing that Adam is at peace with the Lord, take joy in all of the fond memories that Adam has left you with, and take joy in knowing that one day you with meet Adam again in heaven. I love you and will continue to pray for you.



(I am the young black kid that you gave a job to on Cleveland Ave. over 40 years ago, and then you treated me like family. It was the encouragement of Grandpa, Adam, Eddie and the entire Carfagna family that has made me the successful young man that I am today.)
