Dear Mike & Judy, my condolences and a prayer.
Lord Jesus, help us to remain faithful to You. Strengthen and grow our faith as we search Your living word and apply Your truths to our hearts. As we go through trials and fires of this most sadden time as loved ones depart from our eyes but not from our hearts, help fix our eyes on You. When the storms of this life attempt to shipwreck our faith may they instead prove our faith to be more than conquers. Because You Lord Jesus are the Anchor that keeps us grounded in Your eternal truths to The Glory of God our Father fir those who believe. Be with the little ones old and young and protect their minds & hearts and comfort them in their darkest times where no eye can see but Yours. Trust in His Love. In Jesus' lovely Name I pray. Amen.

Dear Rocco, Tony, Rob, Randy & Michael,
It was great seeing you, but once again, I am so sorry for your loss. Your Dad's spirit and goodness shall always remain with you. It is time to truly celebrate a life well lived, with no unfinished business and nothing left unsaid. From this day forward, the stars will forever shine brighter!
I hope that countless memories of love & laughter will carry you through this very difficult time. I also hope that this poem will offer you some comfort.
Sincerely,
Greg
Softly Sprinkled Rain
By Greg O'Brien
A flower closes
as it dances on a twilight breeze
the clouds float by
as the sun says goodnight
and nothing seems changed
as the glow fades from sight
But this day is different
because of one silenced voice
a loved one has left us
and we're faced with a choice
Do we renew our faith
and be thankful for time
or simply grieve with questions
and look for a sign
For it can be easy to show anger
or perhaps to feel blame
but instead simply remember
as you whisper their name
Strive to remember the joy
of the laughter once shared
and to make them a promise
that they'll always be here
That you will include them in thought
as each new day dawns
whispering their name softly
as each day rolls on
For they will surely return this favor
as they help ease your pain
by opening flowers with gentle breezes
and softly sprinkled rain
