Today marks 6 months since we heard the terrible news. It all seems so unreal. I wish you were still here with us, but I know it can't be. The days went by when I could have called you or sat and talked to you, but it's too bad this is the only way you can see me now. For that, I'm sorry. I can only hope you are happy where you are and like what you see when you look down on upon us. Rest in peace my loving father and know how much you are loved and missed.

Dear Luongo Family,

We are so sorry for your loss. Be assured of our prayers for you!

All our love,
The Kennedy Family

Dad, this obituary makes everything more permanent. Up until now it's all been a bad dream. We have all been in shock these last few days. We can't believe you're gone. You have always been such a positive, uplifting spirit that had such a zest for life. You always wanted the best for me, and you always wanted me to have fun and be happy. There was so much you still wanted to do and so much I wish we could have done. I lknow you will always be with me wherever I go and whatever I do. Even though I wish you were still here with us, it's comforting to know you are now free and enjoying being reunited with your mother and family in Heaven. Love you,forever! Your loving daughter, Filomena
