Dear Gludice family,

My deepest sympathies to you. I really can say I know how you feel.
My 23-year old son died by suicide in October of 1974. In September of 1978 my youngest son who was 22 years old died by suicide. Your child's passing may be a different reason, but I do know the heartache when you lose a child so young. It has been a number of years since they left me, but the hole in my heart is always present. I feel so blessed to have the memories of them and would choose to have had them and the pain than not to have had their love.

I have many things that I have read that have comforted me. One poem that I have expresses how I feel.
The author is unknown: I ONLY WANTED YOU!

They say memories are golden
well maybe that is true
I never wanted memories,
I only wanted you.

A million times I needed you
a million times I cried.
If love alone could have saved you
you never would have died.

In life I loved you dearly
in death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a place
no one could ever fill.

If tears could build a stairway,
and hearache make a lane, I'd walk the path to heaven and bring you
back again.

Our family chain is broken and
nothing seems the same, but as God
calls us one by one the chain will
link again.

I wish my condolences to the family . you are in my prayers and i pray for God's comfort for you. It is always harder to lose a loved one at a young age.
