Hey Dad,

I know you are listening. I know that because right now you know your children need you and you Always, Always , Always were there when your kids needed you. You used to say " I should have named you Freddy". I can not tell you how good that made me feel. Your relatives say I look like you, I sound like you, and I act like you. They say as long as I am alive you live. I will tell you this, It is an incredible feeling when someone tells you that you look like, sound like and act like your hero. You were and always will be my hero.

The Legacy of Laughter

When I was little and I cried

You never really dried my eyes

But you turned my tears to laughter

And slowly as the years went by

There were times that I would cry

then on my own I'd recall the laughter

You taught me how to make life fun

not just for me but for everyone

There is no greater gift than laughter

When my life went so far off track

that I had to fight like hell to bring it back

I drew a lot of strength from laughter

Now to my kids I'll give the same

and when they're older I'll explain

the greatness of our Legacy of Laughter

From the depth of my heart

Thank you

Love Annie

My Dad

My Dad had the greatest laugh in the world

His laugh vibrated and resounded with joy, the kind of joy that was infectious, impulsive and encompassing.

My Dad had the most generous heart in the world.

He gave without hesitation, or concern, and was Santa’s most noted competition.

My Dad taught me that family was our foundation and that nothing could stop a family united. If there was a need, family should meet it. If there was a void, family should fill it, and if there was a tear then family should bring the laughter.

No one could out run, out drink, out wit, out jump, out smart or out maneuver, My Dad.

My Dad loved life and lived to love, may I do his memory honor as I try to live and love as deeply as My Dad.

My Grandpa,My Poppy

My Grandpa, my poppy could not walk very well. I would hold onto his walker and help him to the bathroom. I would fix his shirt if it were crooked. I would get his coffee cup out and his special handle for his fork. I pushed his wheelchair and moved the chairs so they would not bump his feet. My poppy did not mind when I drove his wheelchair too fast or bumped his little pinky. He let me lay on his lap so he could kiss my hair. He made me laugh, and gave me fig newtons, vanilla wafers and biscotti even when my mom said no. He called me his baby and the best kid in the world. He made me feel very special and I think he was very special. Even though he could not run or jump or pick me up, I loved him JUST the way he was. Sabrina Antoni

Dear Milly and Family,

My daughters went online and found Fred's obituary in the Asbury Park Press and this guest book that you may view online. I remember the happy times when we visited one another although not as often as we would have liked. I remember the time Fred came up on business with your mother (my sister Mildred) driving her car. She dropped him off in Brockton and came here. A couple of days later she left to pick him up in Brockton and return to N.J. When I discovered her pocketbook (after she had left) I called the place where Fred was waiting. The man who answered said there was no Fred Coglianese there. Fortunately Fred was standing nearby and heard his name and called me back. I told him about the pocketbook. They had to come back here and retrieve it before going home. We all laughed although I don't think Fred laughed right away!

Keep remembering the happy times!

May your faith and love for one another comfort you in your grief.

We are praying for you.

Love, Ann & John

Dear Milly,

I'm thinking of you and your family during the loss of your husband, father, and grandfather. I remember fondly of your visits to my mother's house in Raynham, MA,and my visits to your homes in

New Jersey. One visit was in 1977 and the other one was when Helen was last sick.

May the Lord hold all of you in his hands and comfort your spirits during your time of need.

Your cousin,

Angela (Levasseur) Chaves

Dear Milly,

So sorry to hear about the passing of your husband. All of us in Massachusetts have been thinking of you and what you must have gone through this week. I Wish we could have attended the funeral but it was just a little too far to travel in the bad winter weather ...

Just Try to remember the good times that all of you had with Fred. And, Remember that there is a little bit of him in each and every one of your children and in your grandchildren. He will always be with you when you remember that. Take care...

Your cousin Brenda
