To the family of Adeline "Dolly",
My deepest sympathy to you, on her death, now in your time of sorrow. She was my first cousin, once removed. Unfortunately I never met her, I always heard wonderful things about her.
Sincerely,

Sam, Andrea, Sandy and family: We are so sad to hear about Dolly's passing. She will always be the favorite second mom to our family. She spoiled Marcelle and Julia with her homemade marinara sauce that couldn't be replicated in our kitchen. She had a fun-loving spirit that was contagious. We are blessed to have known her and to have witnessed her strong love for all of you.

"Aunt Dolly", I was standing in the middle of Penn Station going away on vacation. My heart sank when I heard that you had moved on. My Grandmother (Mary Fiacco) must be incredibly happy to have her complete family with her, as I think you were always secretly her faveorite :-). Nanny would take me with her alot of the times we stayed at your house, and you were not only funny, but always classy, and always had something delicious to offer. Never without your hair done, or lipstick on your face. You were almost ALWAYS surrounded by your family, and raised one of the happiest clans. To the family, I am so sorry for your loss. She was a wonderful woman.

Although Dolly was not my aunt - that is what I knew her by "Aunt Dolly" - she always had a smile on her face and was always caring of others! My Thoughts and Prayers- I know she will truly be missed!

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

What moves through us is a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left us so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we will begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget. I have the best memories of times spent with Aunt Dolly and I will always cherish her as my Second Mom. She was the best Aunt ever and we all will miss her but she has found a place among all of our Aunts and Uncles and now they will all be looking down on Us.
