HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY MOM!

Hi mommy. Well I was just cleaning up the house a little bit and listening to music when Faith Hill come on and oh do I know how much you loved her. So it automatically reminded me of you. I started crying, stopped cleaning and sat down and balled my eyes out. I miss you so much. I really wish you were here. I hate this in life when you loose a loved one. Please say hi to David for me. I really miss him too! Well im about 2 weeks away from my due date. I wish you would be able to meet her in person. I know you'll be looking down on us..but this is your first grandchild and I know you would just love her to pieces!! Tee got me a special gift at my baby shower. Its a plaque that you can hang. And Amy wrote a poem on it. It's supposed to be from you to Kennadie. I started crying when reading it. Its something very special to me and I will always keep it close to Kenna so she knows you. I love you so much. And just thinking of all our old memories is making me cry. I'm starting to get scared and I wish you were here to help me. I know you would say my mom tought me this and that..and tell me stories of you and Tee and what you did and so on..I have nobody to tell me that stuff. This is going to be so hard mom. Please help me from your side. I'll really appreciate it. I LOVE YOUUU SOO MUCH!

-your kady rae

I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU VERY MUCH MOM!! I WISH YOU WERE HERE.
--KADY RAE

Hi mommy. I've been thinking a lot about you lately. Well im sure your looking down on me and know you'll be a grandma. You'll be having a grand daughter. Her name is going to be Kennadie Marley. Marley is for you. I miss you like crazy mom..and I can't believe I'm having a baby without you here. You would be so happy. This is going to be so hard doing this without you. I really wish you were here to help me and make new memories with Kennadie and I. It really upsets me knowing she'll never be able to meet you, be able to be loved by such a wonderful woman. I will tell her all kinds of stories..and keep your memory alive with her. Love you lots and please tell David were missing him like crazy down here.

Love your daughter,
Kady Rae

Hey Marlene, been going through a lot of rough times lately. I've never believed in god more than I do right now, and I never knew anyone who cared about their kids more than you did. I talked to Jeff the day before he went away. My address is in the phone book, tell Jeffrey to write me one of these days lol. I just lost a father figure in a car accident, it made think about you, and David. I just wanted to say thanks for doing so much for me. -yogi.

Hi mommy, I miss you so much. I want you to know that even though the days, years are passing I will never ever forget you or love you any less. I wish you were here. You would be so proud of Jeffrey. You raised two great kids on your own. I wsh I had more time with you, I only had twenty years, just like uncle David and Tee had with little David. This really isn't fair. I'm lost without you. I miss you singing to Delilah on 99.7 when you were cleaning or cooking. I miss your stories about you, Tee and uncle gene when yins were little. How am I supposed to live the rest of my life without my mom. I will always be your little girl, your little Katie Rae, head full of curls. Oh I miss you. I wish I could go back to before you were sick. You were so generous, if you had it, you would give it to ANYBODY if they needed a helping hand. Well I got to go now.

On Your Birthday

No cake or candles here today
Or presents for you to open
Just love from family who want to say
Happy Birthday, and that we're hoping
Somehow you can see and know
That we have not forgotten you
That we still remember, even though
You've departed from our view
And if you see us here below
And wonder why we care
It's just because we want to show
That a part of you is still here
You live within each memory's heart
And so you remain, though we're apart

I love you mum..and miss you. Ive been thinking about you. Thank you for visiting me in my dreams. Love you.

Hi mom can't believe its two years since you passed away. I miss you more and more Everyday. Still doesn't seem real. Thank you for visiting me in my dreams. Well its bed time. I will be there to visit you tomorrow. Love you always, your kady rae

I'm sorry to just find of your moms passing. I knew her 40 some years ago and she was the sweetest and shyest girl on the hill.

Love
Annamarie

A sister
Someone you cannot replace
To be there for you
When you have no one else
A sister
Someone who is always by your side
When the walls are caving in
There through thick and thin
A sister
The one person in this world
That can make you laugh
When all you want to do is cry
A sister
The person who knows you best
From the inside out
The one who can read your mind
A sister
Can see your thoughts
She can see how you feel
And be there to make the memories

Marlene
It's been one rough year,can't beleive it's a year already. the holidays where realy hard,realy hard.
Waited for you yo call for me to take you shopping,but you never did.
I missed it,kept waiting for that call just never came.And then there was Christmas morning,again no phone call.Oh how I missed that call too.
It still hurts to think of you,just wish there could be one more phone call,can you take me shopping or can you pick us up, just one more time.Well there is no calls anymore,
so I just have to remember the ones
there were,and keep missing you.
Love and miss you
Annamarie

Hello Everyone,
I know this is hard for everyone to know this date means it has been a year. I want to thank everyone who has been there for my brother, my family and I. I wish everyone can understand how much we appreciate all of it! I expecially want to thank my Aunt Tee and Uncle David for purchasing this guest book. (Tee-Happy birthday, i know im early!) =)
Thank you so much for everything.
Love you all and thanks,
Katie Rae

Nature

As a fond mother, when the day is o'er,
Leads by the hand her little child to bed,
Half willing, half reluctant to be led,
And leave his broken playthings on the floor,
Still gazing at them through the open door,
Nor wholly reassured and comforted
By promises of others in their stead,
Which, though more splendid, may not please him more;
So Nature deals with us, and takes away
Our playthings one by one, and by the hand
Leads us to rest so gently, that we go
Scarce knowing if we wish to go or stay,
Being too full of sleep to understand
How far the unknown transcends the what we know.

By Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
The Poetry Foundation

MiMi,

It hard to believe its been a whole year. I just wanted you to know I am thinking about you today. But that is nothing knew because I think about you everyday. Sometimes it is still hard to believe. You were so so strong and had so much hope. I really miss you Marlene. This ones for you kid. Here's looking at you...

love
anne

Dear Jeff and Katie

It will be the little things
that you all will remember,
the quiet moments,
the smiles, the laughter,
And although it may seem
hard right now,
it will be the memories
of these little things
that help to push
away the pain
and bring the smiles
back again. You wonder
how you got through the
first year, but you did it.
You were stronger than you
thought. Just stay close to each
other, your Mom would want that.

Love
Auntie Anne

Mimi,
Well it was the first Thanksgiving that you were not here with us, and it was so different. There was just something missing. It went well though, we made it through. But as usual there was way too much food. Jeff came over which was really nice. And well as for Katie, she was a little under the weather today from a rough night before haha! It was so wierd not having you fall asleep in your usual position on the couch right after dinner, in fact nobody fell asleep we all just kept eating and eating. Now we have to go on diets!!! But I know for a fact you were looking down on us laughing and saying "yep, this is about the time I would fall asleep". Katie and I were supposed to come see you this morning but we just didnt make it. Im sorry. And now ive just been thinking about you all day. Well I just wanted to say hi and tell you that we really missed having you at the dinner table today. Please keep watching over us and keep us safe!
Love always,
Amy

Hey mom i just wanted to say hello. Two years ago on this date (july 2nd 2006) was the day you were diagnosed. I miss ya mom. Im at Coles now and me and Tina are gonna come see ya today. I love you a whole lottttt...its been crazy lately. Talk to ya soon. Love you always

A MOTHER'S LAST WISH

No more tears, my Mother said
As I bowed my head, my head in my hands
No more tears, my Mother said
Knowing the truth, knowing what's to come
No more tears, my Mother said
Holding back her tears, as mine began to flow
No more tears my Mother said
Closing her eyes, resting her head
No more tears, she would've said
With me sitting beside her, holding her hand
No more tears I thought, knowing she's here,
Here along side me, watching over me
No more tears was her wish
No tears of fear, but tears of joy
No more tears, I remember her say
Very peaceful and still in her bed she lay

I love you mom..i cant stop thinking about you lately

P.S. you always still make me smile even though it might be tears and smile but you'll always be my number 1. I love you mom. Please bring this family back together.

Hi mama! I miss you. I came to see you today. I was there talking to you for quite some time..i felt comfortable talking to you. I took the trolly out by myself. I got lost for a second but I made sure i found you! I miss you so much. Me and Jeff are moving very soon and it will be very different moving without you. Bailey is doing fine..spoiled but fine! haha. In a couple days it will be five months since you passed, and it seems just like it was yesterday. Im at Tee's now for Bryans 16th birthday party...he finally got his quad he always wanted! And David got a dirt bike. Jeff is doing really good mom. He got promoted and everything..now he goes away every week and comes home on the weekends. He's very proud of himself and im sure you are proud of him too. Well I got three more years left until Im a Neonatal nurse, i cant wait! Last weekend (memorial day weekend) we all went up camp. Danielle & Danny have a camp up there too now. We had a lot of fun. I fell off Danielles "golf cart"...yes I was a little drunk! haha. Well i guess im going to go eat, foods done! Ill talk to you later mom. Love you always.
Your daughter,
Katie Rae

Marlene, your sister stopped over the other day to chat for a while and i have been thinking about you and how you are doing now that you are pain free and no worries anymore, I think about you quite often, and i wonder how the kids are doing. and your sister was telling me how well jeff is doing he got a good job now and he is doing great. and katie rae is still working her but off and going to school and i am sure that you are looking over them and are so very proud of them, i know you they were and will always be your life. well my son turned 8 the other day and that is so hard for me to believe and get this he is making his first holy communion this month time is just going to fast and my daughter will be 6 in a few weeks ...wow it seems like yesterday that they were born. I wish that you could be here for the communion party i know that you really enjoyed to get togather with everyone at gatherings. but i know that in my heart you will be her with all of us. I hope that katie rae and jeff will be here also. i miss them to. i have not seen them i a while. I am just glad to here that they are doing well. and i hope that they know that if they ever need anything i am just a phone call away. Well I hope all is well up there i here that it is very beautiful and someday we will get to see each other again. I miss talking to you on the phone. and i miss you most of all. well i guess i will talk to you soon. love and miss you very much.
Danielle

Hi Mama,
Me and Jeffrey were just talking about you. We are going to bring Bailey up to see you soon since its getting nice out. I remember every year around this time you were always talking about planting your flowers and doing the backyard or front yard. I am going to plant some around the tree like you did last summer to remind me of you. Bailey says hi and he misses you. He got so attached to me lately. We take walks now like you and bailey did. Guess what mom..my wisdom tooth is badly infected. The dentist cant even pull it I have to go to a oral surgeon. Im nervous!! haha. Well i just wanted to say hello and i miss and love you a lot. Say hi to gram & pap for me! Love you forever and ever.
XoXo kisses
Katie Rae

Hi mom I was thinking about how every Easter no matter how old Jeff and I were you always got us a basket, well that didn't happen this year. Tina's mom got me a basket, I thought that was so nice of her. I finally got new furniture for the living room, you would love it. It looks so different in here now. Well im going to go to Cole's for a little while then over to Mandys. I just wanted to wish you a good easter. Love you and miss you so much mom
Love your daughter,
Katie Rae

Marlene
I'm home alone,Dave and the boys are up camp.I am tring to get some
cleaning done,you know how I do my best cleaning at night.When out of nowhere I thought I'll give Marlene
a call.This is about the 3rd time this
has happen.It seems to be getting harder the longer your gone.I thought it would be less painful the longer it gets,but I was wrong.Some
times I feel so sad,I can't sleep ,or thats all I want to do is sleep,thats most of the time.Try not to take it out on anyone.I really miss you.Well
the kids are ok,Jeff got a job,Kates still in school.They miss you to,we are all going to Mandys for Easter so they wont be alone.Someone just ask me a few days ago how many kids I had,I said 6,my 4,and my sisters 2 kids.

Love and Miss You
Annamarie

I Owe It All To Mother!

It’s your birthday, Mom.
So I will raise a cheer.
For without you, wondrous person,
I would not be here.

Yes, I owe it all to you, Mom.
From the time that I was small,
You encouraged me in everything,
And tried not to let me fall.

Throughout my life your caring,
Brightened each and every minute.
You loved me and enriched my life,
And I’m so glad to have you in it!

A WONDERFUL MOTHER.

GOD made a wonderful mother,
A mother who never grows old;
He made her smile of the sunshine,
And He molded her heart of pure gold;
In her eyes He placed bright shining stars,
In her cheeks, fair roses you see;
God made a wonderful mother,
And He gave that dear mother to me.

All my life you've been there
Any time and any where
When I was young
And even now that I am older.

I have always known
You've done the best you could
Circumstances change, lives change
But family ties are strong.

I want you to know how much
I respect what you have done
For me, for others,
And even for yourself.

When problems knock you down
You just slowly, steadily,
adjust your shoulders
And then move on.

Many others would give up,
On love and on life, but you haven't.
You've continued,
Stronger, calmer, and with determination.

That's what you are,
strong, loving, caring, and dependable.
And yet still more
You are my mom.

And I love you.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM
EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE GONE.

Marlene
Just want to say Happy Birthday,I know you thought I forgot about you. Well I didn't it seems to be getting harder the longer your gone.Kids seem to be doing ok,
we all miss you down here.I still
forget your not at home,the phone
will ring and I'll think that it's
going to be you,but then it hits me like a ton of bricks,it cant be you.Will just wanted to say Happy Birthday,Im getting sick again from the kids at work.
Love and Miss You
Annamarie

Hey it's me again. Just having a bad day. Besides my Mom,Dad brother and sisters, you where the one I would call to talk to if I was haveing a bad time. I don't know why but, it's harder this time with Jeff being gone. I know that we have a very strong marriage and that this will only make it stronger, doesn't make it any easier. Why did you have to go? What if when Jeff comes home and I do have a baby? You where more excited when I told you we are trying than anyone else. Everytime we would talk "so anything yet"?? I so wish that you where still here. I am sorry that I am going on about myself, but saying these things kind of makes me feel like I am talking to you... Can you hear me? Please watch over Jeff and the rest of our family. I love you forever, untill me met again.
"Your" Rene'

I THINK OF YOU EVERY MORNING,
NOON AND NIGHT.
GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN.
I LOVE YOU.
PLEASE WATCH OVER US.

Step by step We climb day by day,
Closer to God With each prayer we pray.

For the cry of the heart Offered in prayer, Becomes just another Spiritual stair.

As we move into this beautiful place Where we live anew, by God's mercy and grace.

So never give up
For it's worth the climb,
To live forever
In endless time,
Where the soul of man
Is safe and free,
To live in love
Through eternity

Katie,
Don't worry about your Mom, she is in such a better place. I can tell you from experience that it WILL get harder before it gets better, but I promise you that it WILL get better. You and Jeff have to give yourself sometime to fully understand what happend and to let things sink in. You have made a good start with going in Mom's room and start to clean out some of her stuff. Remember that you don't ever have to get rid of everything. Take a few things each day. You and Jeff are very head strong kids and I know that the both of you will make it through this rough time in your youngs lives. I always told you Mom that "God will give you only what you can handle". I strongly believe that. I still cry at night sometimes when I think about Aunt Shirley, and that has been 15yrs. And there are nights that she still comes to me in my dreams as well. It's nice to see them in our dreams, I think that is their way of saying "hello remember me". Even though we would never forget them. Please don't quit school, your Mom is so proud of you. It is going to make her even more proud when she sees you with your degree.
Maybe someday you and Jeff can come and visit me up here at the North Pole (ha ha). I would love to have you. Remember that I am always thinking about you and Jeff and if you need anything I'm only a phone call away. If you don't have my phone number Annamarie has it or you can contact me via email. I love you both!!

Mom, i threw away some of your stuff the other night, it was so hard because as soon as I opened the dresser drawer all I smelt was you. All I remembered was you wearing those clothes. Everyone is being so helpful but why do I feel like I should be on my own. I havent been to school in almost a week..I feel like I want to quit but I dont because I will be the first one to graduate college. I just want to say thank you to everyone who has been there for me this last month & 6 days. Ann Scarpaci thank you so much for writing me, Ricky and yourself are such good people. He is a good man. Mom, why do I always have dreams about you? You were in my dream yesterday morning of you doing the dishes...it was so weird all I thought about yesterday at work was you. I will see you on your birthday, I will make sure I come see you. I love you so much mom, I really do, i'm still not used to walking into the house not seeing you waiting for me saying "katie rae"...god i miss you. Why is this not getting any better for me? It seems like its getting harder..I love you mommy

KATIE,
I READ THE LETTER YOU WROTE TO YOUR MOM. IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL. IT REALLY MADE ME CRY. YOU ARE SO SO SAD. YOU ARE JUST A LITTLE GIRL THAT REALLY NEEDS A MOM. YOU REALLY NEED SOMEONE TO GIVE YOU A BIG HUG. I CAN TELL YOU ARE SO SCARED. YOU NEED TO KNOW THAT SOMEONE IS THERE FOR YOU. YOU NEED TO HEAR THAT. YOU ARE POURING YOUR HEART OUT TO YOUR MOM. KATIE SHE LOVED YOU AND JEFF SO MUCH...YOU WERE HER LIFE. SHE NEVER PUT ANYTHING IN FRONT OF YOU TWO KIDS. NOTHING ELSE WAS IMPORTANT TO HER. YOU AND JEFF ARE SO YOUNG TO LOSE A MOM. I WANT TO TELL YOU THAT IT IS GOING TO BE OKAY. BUT I CAN'T DO THAT. I WILL TELL YOU THAT I WAS ALWAYS THERE FOR YOUR MOTHER AND I WILL BE THERE FOR YOU TO. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS TELL RICKY. HE SAID THAT YOU DO COME UP TO SEE HIM. THAT IS GOOD. HE WOULD ALWAYS HELP YOU NO MATTER WHAT IT IS. EVEN IF YOU JUST NEED A FRIEND OR A BIG HUG, RICKY IS THE MAN. I DON'T EVER WANT YOU TO FEEL THAT YOU ARE ALL ALONE. I KNOW YOU ARE CLOSE TO AMY AND THAT IS GOOD. I CAN TELL YOU REALLY NEED TO TALK TO SOMEONE, YOU CAN SEE IT IN YOUR LETTER. PLEASE DON'T FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE THE WORLD ON YOUR SHOULDERS AND NO WHERE TO TURN. YOUR MOM HAD A HEART OF GOLD. SHE NEVER HAD ALOT BUT WHAT EVER SHE HAD YOU COULD HAVE IT TOO. I MISS YOUR MOM VERY MUCH. SOME TIMES I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE SHE IS GONE. IT JUST SEEMS TO UNREAL. JUST REMEMBER,"YOUR MOM IS ALWAYS WITH YOU KATE, JUST NOT ALWAYS IN VIEW."

LOVE
AUNTIE ANNE

Marlene,
It has been a month since I kissed you goodbye. This past month has been hard. I miss you very much. I am crying so hard I can't even think straight. I know that you are in a better place, but I am still fighting with the thought that I will never hear your voice again. NEVER! I wish that you could come to me in my dreams so we can talk like we use to. You would call just to see how we are doing, no reason just to call. I wish that their were more kind and gentle people like you in this world. I miss you and love you forever! Your Rene'

Marlene

Annamarie

Mom, tomorrow it will a month since you passed away. I'm trying so hard mom I really am. Its so difficult to go day by day without seeing you. I miss you so much. There is not one day that you don't cross my mind. I was thinking about dropping out of school to get a 3rd job to make sure I have enough money to pay the bills, but then I remembered how glad you were when I started college and I have choosen to keep going to school because I know thats what you want. I still have not went through your belongings, I will one day i'm just really scared. I'm scared to throw the rest of you away! Mom, I am crying now and I don't know what to do. I'm so scared for jeffrey and myself. I want to be strong and believe your in a better place but you should be home with me, you should be here to let me take care of you again like when you were sick. I really miss you mum, so does Bailey. I walk around like im not sad, i hide it very well, and now I feel bad that im hiding my feelings. I want to see you again, I want to hug you and tell you how much I love you! I miss you telling me you would dance at my wedding, I miss the thousand phone calls, I miss the days when I was younger and we would walk up to Village Dairy in Mt. Washington to eat breakfast, I miss when we would be getting ready to go over Tee's for a holiday, I miss everything about you. I remember when I had to write a essay for school about someone. I wrote about you, I got an A. Then you read it and cried. I wish you were still here, I don't want you to be up there no more. I'm your baby girl and you should be here with me and to watch me graduate college and get married & have children one day. I was looking at the pictures from camp last summer, and I remember you yelling at me because how fast I was going on the scooter thingy. My grades are slipping in school but I promise you I won't let you down. I am going to go now. I love you with all of my heart and miss you sooo much mom.

To the Molinaro Family:
I am so sorry for the loss of your loved one. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Anna Marie, I'm so sorry to hear about you sister. I just found out on Friday I've been at my daughters house. I got to know Marlene from Sonny's and thru Anne,she like to party,she was fun to be with. I know you will miss her, nothing is like having a sister to tell your problems to. She's in a better place now and at peace.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

To the Molinaro family.
Our sympathies go out to all. We were saddened to hear of Marlene's illness and passing.

Wayne and JoAnne Taylor

Marlene where do I begin? As a child I remember you as the Aunt that taught me all the names of the Pittsburgh Pirates, and singing "How much is that doggy in the window". To this day I can still hear you sing "Hush little baby don't say a word, pappa's gona by you a mocking bird". You where such a kind and special person to me. Someone that I will remember forever! When I told you that it was okay to go and be with our God, that we would all be fine, I really did not understant how difficult it would be. You know as well as anyone may saying of "God only gives you what you can handle". I sure hope I can handle this. I just don't understand why God takes the good people from our lives and leaves the not so good ones. I guess that the good ones have done such a good job on this earth that God wants to reward them by bringing them home to a peaceful and better place. I can only hope that you can look down upon us with painfree eyes and a great big smile on your face. Always know that I will do all that I can for Katie and Jeffery. Have trust in me that what ever they need I will be here for them. My Dad and Annamarie will be fine they just need time. Also know that I will be here for them aswell. Know that your such a special person to me. Always calling me to find out how Jeff was doing in Iraq. You always made sure that I knew how much you cared. Well, until we meet again-I love you with all of my heart and will miss you forever!!
Love,
"Your" Rene'

Katie,Jeffrey, and the Molinaro family,

I justed wanted to write a little something for you. I will always be there for all of you no matter what. I know that your mom is very proud of you Katie and Jeffrey you were the apple in her eyes, that is all that she ever talked about and thought about there were many many times that she gave up so much just to make sure that you kids had everything that you ever asked for. If there is ever anything that we can do for you please give us a call, even if you just need someone to talk to. you have are phone number. Your mom and our Aunt will be greatly missed. She was a wonderful hearted person and very loveable. she will be greatly missed. But she is in Such a better place now, and resting with no pain or discomfort. She has alot of family and friends up there.
Marlene: May you rest in peace.

Love you

To Katie and Jeffery and Molinaro Family,
Im so sorry for your loss.I used to babysit you guys, first on Paul Street then on Kambach St when u were babies.My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dave and Ann,
You have our deepest sympathies at
this sad time. We'll keep you in our prayers.

Kady Rae,
I know this is very hard for you, but wanted to let you know that i am here for you for whatever you may need. I love you and will keep your mother in my prayers.

Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.

Ann,
This is a very sad day for everyone. The worst part of this day is that we have to bury Marlene today on your birthday. We had many years of fun and laughter with your sister. I know how close you and her were all your life. I just wanted to know, I feel the pain you are going trough. I just wanted you to know the kids and I are still here for you and we always will be. Marlene is in peace now with your Mom and Dad, and Jesus is spreading joy onto them all, she is being well cared for and looking down on to you now wanted you to know she is happy and pain free. She will always be remembered by all of us forever.

Love Dave

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Marlene,
Good-Bye my friend. Even through we knew this was going to happen
one is not prepared. I will miss you Mar. You are now free with no more pain or worries. I will miss all our millions of phones calls.
You have been around me for a long time. Sleep well..until we meet again may God hold you in the hollow of his hand.
love,
your friend,

I always told Mar she should have been Irish instead of Italian.

A VERY IRISH PRAYER...
THIS PRAYER IS FOR THE IRISH.
IF YOU ARE DOWN AND SAD,JUST READ IT AND FEEL BLESSED. IT WILL MAKE YOU SMILE BECAUSE YOU WILL BE ABLE TO HEAR YOUR LOVE ONE SAYING IT.
THIS ONES FOR YOU ANNAMARIE...

Death is nothing at all.
It does not count.
I have only slipped away into the next room.
Everything remains as it was.
The old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged.
Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.
Call me by the old familiar name.
Speak of me in the easy way which you always used.
Put no sorrow in your tone.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was.
Let it be spoken without effort
Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was.
There is unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just around the corner.
All is well. Nothing is hurt; nothing is lost.
One brief moment and all will be as it was before.
How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting, when we meet again.
I LOVE AND MISS YOU MEME.

I ONLY HOPE THIS IS TRUE...
I WILL ALWAYS BE THERE FOR YOU ANNAMARIE...

Jeff, Kate and the Molinaro family,

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your Mom. We were
friends for a long long time. Marlene
was alot of things to me. She was
my babysitter, my cleaning lady, my cook, my barmaid,my boarder, my washer and ironer. but most all she
was my good friend. Your Mom had unconditional love for people. She ask for very little as a friend. She had a heart of gold. The greatest love and joy in her life were you two kids. You were her pride and joy. You were her clame to fame. Life was not always easy for her. She always tried to keep it together. There were times that it was very hard. She had alot on her shoulders. She would always put that smile on here face and act like nothing was wrong.
I would want to kill her and hug her at the same time. I know its going to be hard but just stick together and hold on to each other.
Your Mom will always be with you, just not always in view. I will miss her with all my heart. She was my friend...and I loved her so.

love
Auntie Anne

Marlene used to babysit me as a child, She grew up on Paul Steet. She will be surly missed, Heart goes out to her children and family. Sincerly, Vic Kulback 230 Paul Street.
