Josephine DiRubbo Memoriam

DiRUBBO Josephine 5/11/1927 - 9/26/2009 Twelve years ago today God called you home. While he gained an angel into Heaven, we were left missing you. We miss your beautiful smile, your incredible laughter and your sparkling eyes. We picture you with family and our fur babies, causing tons of mischief! While all that helps to ease the pain, you're still not here with us and the sadness repeats again. Always remember, you are forever "Our heart." Your Loving Family P.S. Our little Maggie has joined you in Heaven and we know she is happy and safe with you. XOXO

Dear Mom,
Here we are again Mom, another year has gone by without you by our side. I know I´ll be repeating myself but I can´t help it. I miss you and think about you every single day. I look at your picture and think to myself I wish I had one more day with you, just one more day to talk with you and be with you... for just one more day. Oh, if wishes could come true you would be here with all of us. I´m getting a little better though, when seeing a beautiful sunset or the incredible clouds in the sky, or a beautiful flower. I think of you and say to myself, "this is a sign from Mom" that you are really safe, healthy and happy in Heaven. How lucky they are to have you as an angel. I love you Mom. You are always in my thoughts and prayers. God bless you. You are "Our Heart" always. XOXO
Love your daughter,
Linda

Dearest Mom,
I still can’t believe that you have been in Heaven eleven years today. Sometimes it feels like you became an angel this morning and other times it feels like a million years ago. I miss your beautiful smile, your laughter and everything else about you. Thank you Mom, God, your wonderful parents, and brothers for keeping Dad and our family safe. We love you. You will always be “our heart” forever. Love, Linda

Dearest Mom,
I can’t believe you have been an angel for eleven years now. Sometimes it feels like you passed away this morning and other times it feels like a million years ago. We miss your beautiful smile and laughter every day. At least you are not suffering any longer. I pray you are with your parents, brothers and all our little fur babies. Thank you Mom, God, Grandpa and everyone else up in Heaven for looking after Dad and all of us. We love you. You will always be “our heart” forever. Love always, Linda

Love, Linda

"Aunt" Jo, you found fault with no one. I remember our last meeting, I said to Donna that sounds like "Aunt" Jo and there you were in the midst of the crazy shoppers like us at the Ames going out of business sale. They sometimes say that when someone is gone that they broke the mold when that person died. Not so with you, you passed your loving and kind ways onto Michele and Linda.

Dear Mom,

It’s almost eleven years since you passed away. At times I think I’ll wake up from a bad dream and you will be here. I know you aren’t suffering any longer so I’m thankful for that. I love you. You are my heart.

Love always,

Your daughter, Linda

Dearest Mom,

Not a day goes by that I don't think about you and miss you terribly. I know you are not in pain any longer and you are one of God's angels. I miss you, I miss our special times together, I miss our talks, and I especially miss our family all together with you. I could go on and on. You are my heart. I love you.

Love always,

Linda.

Dear family,
I just read the notice about the passing of your wife, mother and grandmother one year ago. I hadn't seen the notice then, but happened upon it today. Josephine worked with me at OMRDD many, many years ago. She was a warm and loving person and always had something nice to say. She always had a hug for me and made me smile. I'm sure she is doing the same for many others in heaven with her.

My dearest Mom, my best friend,

Since you passed away last September 26, 2009, life has not been the same. The special person you are, your beautiful voice, the sparkle in your eyes and your remarkable smile will live in my heart forever. How blessed and fortunate I am to have such a wonderful person like you as my mother. I will never talk of you in the past tense because you will be with me forever... in my heart and my soul. The memories I have will always be cherished and I shall treasure having you as my mother for always. The love you have given to me, our family and my children, Faith and Michael will always be a reminder of how beautiful a person you are. My love for you will remain forever Mom and I know you are now my guardian angel along with Grandpa. I know you are at peace, happy and safe with your parents... and I know one day we will all be reunited again. Until then, Mom "you are my heart" and I will always love you.

Linda

Oh, how sad we are to hear of Joe's passing. She will surely be missed and you are in our hearts and thoughts as we know how close you all were and still are. Joe was always so loving and we will remember her wonderful smile and the good times we had together. So glad you gave everyone the view of her smile in her photo. It is such a pleasure to have her in our memory as well. We know God is taking care of her now giving you a rest well deserved. God bless you all as you are all in our prayers. Miss you all.
