I see the countless Christmas trees
Around the world below,
With tiny lights like heaven's stars
Reflecting in the snow.

The sight is so spectacular

please wipe away that tear
for I am spending CHRISTMAS

WITH JESUS CHRIST this year.

I hear the many Christmas songs

that people hold so dear
but the sound of music can't compare

with the CHRISTMAS CHOIR up here.

I have no words to tell you

of the JOY their voices bring
for it is beyond description

to HEAR THE ANGELS SING.


I know how much you miss me,

I see the pain inside your heart
for I am spending CHRISTMAS

WITH JESUS CHRIST this year.

I can't tell you of the SPLENDOR

or the PEACE here in this place
Can you just imagine CHRISTMAS

WITH OUR SAVIOR face to face

I'll ask him to lift your spirit

as I tell him of your love
so then PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER

as you lift your eyes above.

Please let your hearts be joyful

and let your spirit sing
for I am spending CHRISTMAS IN HEAVEN

and I’m walking WITH THE KING.

Dear Aunt Ann, Nancy, Janice, Sal and John,
I'm so sorry for your loss seems like such empty words but I do share in your sorrow. Uncle Angelo had a great sense of humor and added fun to our gatherings. He's in so many of my pleasant childhood memories of picnics, holidays, helping at the farm and even our vacation to PA when he stopped the caravan for a welcome break by announcing: "Coffee!"
Time passes and memories fade but it only takes a moment of reflection to recall all the experiences that brought our families together: Swimming at the pool, bus trips downtown, cooking together and just hangin'. I was reminiscing by looking at photos last week and find some memories are painful and some are filled with happiness - remember the happy ones.
The full impact of your loss isn't felt in just one day, it's the recurring memories that hit your mind from moment to moment. I pray that your
family finds comfort in your faith during the days and years to come.
Love,
Doreen

Angelo- for the last24 years you were like a member of the family. You filled our holidays and lives with laughter and joy! We certainly have missed having you knock on our doors daily for a kind chat and to sneak the cookies you shouldn't have been eating... (smile)...you were always there to lend a helping hand. For knowing you and loving you we are forever grateful. We know your are happy again with all your Newington buddies remember the Saturday "round table meetings" at the barber shop..you guys were crazy fun!. Our last Christmas with you was almost 3 years ago when you went to the home. We will always treasure the memories of all our special days with you. Now you really are "ANGEL" o........
