Dear Mr. Baldi, Sara Marie, Paulette, Rosemary, Ann Francis, Teresa, and families,
I am so very sorry to hear of the passing of your Wife/Mom/Gran. Although it has been so many years since St. Bernard, I have so many wonderful memories of all of the time I spent at your house, the many talks I had with Mrs. Baldi, the laughter and silliness. This very special lady was beautiful both inside and out, and always made me feel like I was really worth something. I would be feeling so down at times, and she would raise me back up and tell me that everything was going to work out. She was right - oh what a surprise, right? My heart and many prayers go out to your families. This special lady is dearly missed by so many. She was a special part of my childhood, and I will cherish the memories forever.

Teresa and family, you have my deepest condolences on the loss of your wife and mother. She is truly an extraordinary woman, and I am honored to have known her, and also to have been able to be one of her caregivers in the past year. You could feel the love she has for you all when she spoke of you, and I know that you returned her love a thousand fold. Please know that I am holding you all in thought and prayer. You all now have an angel watching over you and waiting to welcome you when your journey on earth is complete.

Hello Sr. Teresa,
You may remember me when I attended TOPS with you and your Mom years ago. I was sorry to hear of her passing. Celestine always enjoyed attending those weekly meetings and getting together with her friends. I know she made some very good friends through TOPS.
I will always remember how happy and proud she was when you answered God's calling. You were blessed to have such a wonderful closeness with your Mom. Unfortunately, I know all too well the sadness you are feeling right now knowing that she is no longer with you here on Earth. I too lost my own Mother only 4 months ago. May you have the comfort of knowing she is now in the presence of the Lord and she has met her eternal Reward. Take care.

I will always remember Celeste the last time I saw her - that was at her 80th birthday party where she was visiting with friends and dancing with Paul. It was a beautiful sight and she was a wonderful lady. She will be missed by everyone. My heart and prayers go out to Paul and her family.
