Dr. Edward Catalano Jr. & family:
Those who mean the most to us
Are never really gone.
For in our thoughts and in our hearts
Their memory still lives on
So may you find that passing time
Can somehow help to heal
Those memories will ease the loss
And sorrow that you feel.
You and yours are in my thoughts and prayers.

Ed,
Our sympathy on the passing of your father; his was a life well-lived. "But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concernng them which are asleep, that you sorrow not, as others that have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him." I Thess. 4:13-14
