Donna and family,

This writing comforted my mother when my father passed away, and also me…I hope it does the same for you.

All is Well.

Death is nothing at all. I have only slipped
away into the next room. I am I, and you are you.
Whatever we were to each other, that we still are.
Call me by my old familiar name, speak to me in
the easy way you always used. Put no difference in
your tone, wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow,
laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we
enjoyed together. Pray, smile, think of me, pray for
me. Let my name be ever the household word that it
always was, let it be spoken without effect, without
the trace of a shadow on it. 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 waiting for you, for
an interval, somewhere very near, just round the corner.

My deepest sympathy and heartfelt condolences to the entire family. To Al, Donna, Fran and Eileen and Johnny, you are all family to me and I love you all. I will always remember your Mom like my own "MoM', she was always there for us and took care of us through good times and bad. I know that her struggle was great but her will was greater and she has gone home to a place where there is no more pain. She will continue to look after us from the heavens and will always be alive in our hearts. I wish I could be there with you in your time of sorrow, please know I am thinking of you with love and prayer. I will always hold memories of "Mom" as some of the most precious in my life and I thank you all for sharing her with me. Love always to you all, Angela

I will forever love my second mother and will always have the warmest memories of her, her sweet laugh and kindness. Mrs D was always there for us when we were good, when we were bad and when we needed her. I will miss her even tho I havent seen her much recently but am calmed by the fact that she has gone home and will never have to experience pain again. I love her and Donna, Eileen, Fran and John and especially Al, who also has always been a second father to me. I'm thinking of you all and wish I could be there with you in your time of sorrow. Heaven holds no pain and no sorrow and "mom" is definately there holding a place for us all

If tears could build a stairway,
And memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to Heaven
And bring you home again

You will always have a special place in my heart

Donna:

My thoughts are with you and your family at this difficult time. I empathize with you - I lost my Dad last year (he was 94) and a day doesn't pass that I don't miss him.

My sincerest sympathy,

My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire De Clemente family during this very difficult time. The De Clemente family is also "my family" and I love them dearly. I am blessed to have had them in my life. Mrs. D has taught me important life lessons in my younger years when I really needed them. Mr. and Mrs. D have taught me a few! I will always admire her and remember her as a beautiful,smart, confident and loving lady and "Mom".She always had joy in her heart and a smile on her face. I was lucky to have her close to me for those years. I will always have great admiration and respect for Mrs D..My memories of her will be happy ones and I will keep them close to me.The De Clemente family will be in my prayers in this time of sadness..and always in my thoughts. Love Suzanne

The DeClemente family will forever have a void. Mrs. D will always be remembered for her loving kindness that she had given to not only her family but also what she called her extra daughters. She treated me as though I was part of the family. She never judged and gave me the dignity that was sometimes not deserved. I will miss her so very much and my heart breaks for you all. My deepest condolence to the DeClemente family. Love Doris
