To Honor The Life & Legacy of Aunt PHILOMENA (LANCELLOTTA) TOMASSO
When we lose someone so wonderful, loyal and caring as Aunty Phyl certainly was with all of us, a part of us will always keep searching for that special feeling in that pedicular person who meant so much to so many.
Our lives now feel so empty as we certainly miss such a cherished persona that Our Dear LORD requires of her today.
Obviously over these many years with meeting so many expectations and challenges from all parts of this fragile world, we want to cherish, remember and celebrate the joys - and yes there are definitely sorrows as well - in our familial relationships with Aunty Phyl (& Uncle Mike) and of course their own children (Michael & Barbara) - and their own families - as a beacon to continue to uplift and fulfill our lives.
So Aunty Phyl, our whole world will be so much different without your warm and loving presence to share and enjoy among family, friends and neighbors, especially during those special times of holiday gatherings and birthday remembrances. It was always very satisfying to send you that loving note or personal greeting that will be a marker of your maternal care and personable warmth.
Ideally, it was great to have you (and Aunty Lu) with Uncle Mike, make many visits to our home when my beloved Mother Mary had returned to Heaven ... with those precious helpful times that we shared together - and not to forget the extraordinary talents of Uncle Mike - when even later losing our Dad your Brother Joe, such support was just indescribable. And later to have the Good LORD reclaim my so very innocent Brothers Jimmy & Joey, the family connections are so incredibly important.
When I (which was my own Birthday) / we heard of your leaving it was so shocking, obviously painful, yet the sense to keep a strong bond in our hearts with you, our overall family and Our True Lord & Saviour.
Please remember us through this eternity as we certainly have you (and Uncle MIKE) in our hearts, thoughts and prayers, let us hold strong with our own challenges and circumstances and ask Our Blessed Risen Lord & God to protect your legacy, maintain our remembrances and memories and always have a kind and loving presence of you in our lives.
With forever sentiments of LOVE and Care,
Nephews, Jack, (Jimmy) & (Joey) Lancellotta
