Pa, thank you for giving me enough love, wisdom, warmth, and memories to last a lifetime. I miss you every day, but you’re still with me.  On this day, words seem so tiny. I miss you, Pa. I miss my rock. You will always live in my heart. I will forever carry you in my soul.  Pa, I am truly blessed to have had you as a father. The lessons you taught me will be with me forever.  I know you’re no longer here, but I carry your guidance and love daily. I miss you every day, Pa, but today, I miss you even more. Your memory lives on, but I still miss you. I know that eventually, we will all be reunited in heaven.
Pa, I miss you even more than usual today on your birthday.  I look at all the photos of you and your children, and instead of being sad, I try to focus on the priceless time we had together and the incredible memories we made. You gave me so much of yourself, which will never go away. I hope you can hear me Pa, and feel my love.Love, your Son

Happy Birthday Day Pappa... Every day I thank God for the time we shared together and the memories I have of that time. You blessed us all who knew you with your kindness and light. You blessed me with all the days we spent together and now you are my guardian angel from above protecting us all, you were the one who gave me life, who taught me right from wrong, and gave me so much love that I have enough to last for the rest of my days here Pa. I hope you are proud of me. Love you Pappa,

Cold❄️ Cold Winter Without You Both Here 2024....

My heart is Not in this 2024 New Year Mamma without you and Pappa not here ... I lost half of my heart In November Of 2015 when you left me here Mamma and My other half broke In That September month in 2019 when Pappa you left me here ... The same will be the same until i get back home with you Mamma & you Pappa  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2024 Will be the same without you both here .......

Ma and Pa,

During the quiet moments on Christmas Eve, memories gently unfolded in my mind, I felt the ache of missing you both, a story left untold. The stars seemed brighter, whispering your names. As I navigate life's journey, things will never be quite the same without you both.

In the canvas of my heart, your love's profound art, an eternal connection, though we are worlds apart. I miss the laughter, the wisdom, the embrace, your presence still lingers, offering me a comforting grace.

Heaven gained two angels and your love for me endures like a beacon in the night, Guiding me through the darkness with its gentle light.

So on this Christmas Day in 2023, beneath the vast, starry dome, Longing for the presence of you both who've flown home. In the tapestry of memories, your threads persist, a cherished love, in my heart, firmly exists.

As I look into the heavens, the stars in the night sky gleam with your wisdom, Illuminating my path with tender, loving beams. Though your physical presence I may not see, Your essence guides and watches over me.

Until we reunite, I'll hold both of you close in memories, forevermore. Missing you both deeply, in every breath I take, Yet finding solace in the memories of your love for your son.  Merry Christmas Ma and Pa

Love,

Your Son

Christmas is not the same without my parents here anymore ..words can't describe my feelings, my emotions i go thru on different days inside me since my parents went home to our Lord .. I know Mamma & Pappa one day their will be Christmas again together and I cant wait to see both of you and your happy smiles, loud laughs of mamma and hugs from the both of you again ...Until Again I will be loving & missing you both Mamma & Papppa on this Christmas In 2023....

My Heart broke for the very first time of my life on 11/28/2015 @3:40AM the day you left me Mamma.....

8 Years Ago Today 11/28/2015 I will never forget you Ma.. The day God called you to be back in his home ...Ma that day never leaves my eyes and with each passing year, it becomes more difficult to believe how much time has passed since you left my side that year of 2015 ,which i wished never came Ma. Since you left my side Ma, a piece of me has been missing.

I hate that im unable to see you, touch you and laugh with you Ma .

I hate that I can't hear your beautiful voice, you laughing so hard, and speaking that Sicilian to me Ma.

I hate that I can’t call you Ma, to talk for hours about everything, and getting your true encouragement and honest advice.

I miss the feeling of having you all of you Ma in my everyday life ,bec. you knew me very well and the only one who knew me the best and everything about me since the day I was born.

I hate that I can’t see you sharing your life with us all here ...

It still hurts me today, no matter what age, no matter how long I had you by my side Ma...

My husband always says don't say the word hate bec. no matter how bad something hurts him or he hates he says never use that word but I can't find another word strong enough for the emotions i'm today and have been feeling since my Mamma left my side 11/28/15 . Mamma was my partner in everything....Ma , One day will be one again and we will never be separated ever this time...

Until again Ma Love❤️U, MissU Deeply ....  

A Father My Father One Who Can Never Be Replaced is called Our Pappa!!!  

My Pappa's Beautiful Soul SunSetted 4 years ago today, I know No matter where I am Pappa, your spirit will be beside me forever. For I know that no matter what, you will always be with me Pappa I love you & miss you so much Pappa Until Again.



The Home News Tribune 9.22.2023.

Happy Heaven Birthday Pa!

Today 4 years ago is the day you are welcomed into heaven.
The first day you saw the golden gates and lights brighter than the sun.
The day Jesus welcomes you with open arms and a gift for all the good you did on this earth.
Today is the day you see your bride once again after so many years.
The day you kissed your mother and hug your brother. The day you see your heavenly father and meet and know your real earthly Pa.

Today is the day you see God’s glory. The day you are young and healthy again. The day you join the angels. Today is a day to celebrate your life and where God says, “well done good and faithful servant.” Today God wipes away your tears and suffering and that we Thank God for dieing for all of our sins so that we can live in heaven with Jesus.

Today is also a day of weeping and sorrow, because we don’t get to see you again here on this earth. We know when Jesus sees the sorrow we feel and he weeps with us. He weeps for us. He knows the pain of seeing a loved one suffer and die, because he saw his own son, Jesus suffer an agonizing death and die. But God, but God is so merciful and so powerful that he overcame death so that we could live in eternity.

So your heaven Birthday is happy for you and it’s sad for us. We have to say goodbye, something no one wants to have to do especially to their father who wiped away tears, protected them, made them laugh and provide for them.

You are a wonderful Father, Papa and we are thankful for all you have done for all of us.
Thank you for working hard, being responsible and always thinking of your kids first. For faithfully reading your bible and praying and be a good example of what God’s Grace, forgiveness and mercy looks like.

No one is perfect and everyone has sinned except God. You are a good man with a good heart and your life will be celebrated forever with your memories and your humor. We respect you and honor you and now you will be respected and honored in heaven as a ‘Warrior Angel’ strong and wise, faithful and true to God and your family.

We love you Pa and we will miss you.

Give Mama a kiss in heaven from all of us.

Dear Momma and Pappa,

I was thinking the other night that losing you both in a span of 5 years hit me because I have to go through the rest of my life not being able to see or talk to you ever again but I still feel like I will.

The passing of you both is an incalculable blow to my heart because I know no one will ever love me again like you both loved me. Every once in a while, it just hits me that you are both not ever coming back and I feel the feeling of losing you both all over again, that sunk in last night as I wept uncontrollably for I lost two people in my life who loved me so much! seeing you again and how much I miss you dearly Ma and Pappa!  

Momma and Pappa, I have learned that grief is really just Love.  It's all the Love you want to give, but cannot.  All that unspent Love gathers up in the corners of my eyes, the lump in my throat, and in that hollow part of my chest.  Grief is just Love with no place to go.  I love you Ma and Pa, I have faith that I will see you two again one day in the presence of Jesus, but for now, I am storing up all my Love for you both until we meet again and cannot wait to hear and see angels singing for my arrival Home! 

Love, your son, Peter

Rainbow in the sky 
like your smile in Heaven 

Rainbow in the sky 
brings joy after the rain 

Rainbow in the sky 
after the storms

Rainbow in the sky 
remind Me that you are happy in heaven 

Happy without us, yet watching over us every day like smiles from heaven 

a wripple in heaven that lets the colors shine through rainbows from heaven your smile breaking through.

Rainbows from heaven 
angels breaking through with love from above just a glimmer of hope. 

glimmer of hope from
above God’s promise that we will be United once again one day. 

untill the we watch up for Rainbows from heaven 

Happy Birthday Mama.

Happy Valentine’s Day to my loveliest Mamma and Pappa until again I'm surely Missing U, Loving U & Crying On these days since you went away!!

Hi Momma and Pappa, 
I just wanted write this story about what I remember growing up as a child and looked forward to each weekend; la fiera! 
I recall at an early age, waking up before sunrise and hopping in the car with you both and driving down to the Englishtown fair. I know it was not a big deal for adults but Momma loved deals and me, well I loved the mini donuts! Momma, you showed us how to be frugal and finding the best deals  

As for Pappa, I think this wasn't your thing so, you just hung out in the car while Momma did her best at finding bargain deals. I think you drove us because you knew how much Momma loved la fiera ❤️ so, you made her happy. I remember Momma getting me my first Chuck Taylor high tops, I loved them. 

Thank you for bringing us with you each time you went down to the fiera. I miss you both and what other way for someone missing someone, are the memories that I have and it's these memories that make up for the times I feel I need to relive the times you both were with me  

I Love you. Your son

New Years 2023 In Heaven without US together. It’s hard to bear the pain of another year, knowing that you’re both there Mamma & Pappa and I'm here, but I will struggle on and do what I must do and look toward the day, that I will be back with you both Mamma & Pappa. I Love & Miss you both tremendously ...

Every New Year I have Mass For All My Family In memory of my parents and My Husbands Family members living &those who are here no more.. Love you all  2023

Christmas isn't the same anymore for me without the love and presences of you both Mamma  and Pappa.. We will honor you both even though you're no longer here with us ..We're missing you more each year you are gone, Merry Christmas Mamma & Pappa until we celebrate it again one day all together with the Lord above... 

Mama and Papa…. You are together in paradise. Wish I could just see you one last time and give you a big hug and never let go. One day we will be together again.

This year would have marked your 66th wedding anniversary! You are celebrating together in heaven!

We love and miss you Mama and Papa!

Mama we miss you so much. Wish you could hang your ornament on the tree with us this year. We miss you so much and are thankful for all the years we got to spend with you. We love you more then words and miss you that much more. 

I know you arecelebrating with Jesus for his birthday in heaven that must be an amazing sight.

On Nov. 28,2015, 7 Years Ago Today my heart broke into tiny pieces which can never be mend until I have you again in my arms Ma...  A day I remeber like it was yesterday Ma, and A day that I always was scared for it to come since I was a child...so afraid of losing you Ma.. 7 years In Heaven with Our Lord Today Mamma and I miss you the same everyday Ma... Until Again Mamma I love & I miss you so much Ma....

She’s the whisper of the leaves as you walk down the street.
She’s the smell of certain foods you remember, flowers you pick, the fragrance of life itself.

She’s the cool hand on your brow when you’re not feeling well.
She’s your breath in the air on a cold winters’ day.
She is the sound of the rain that lulls you to sleep, the colors of a rainbow.

She is Christmas morning.

Your mother lives inside your laughter.
She’s the place you come from, your first home.
She’s the map you follow with every step you take.

She’s your first love, your first friend, even your first enemy.
But nothing on Earth can separate you.
Not time.
Not space.
Not even death.

 “Happy Thanksgiving in heaven, Momma & Pappa! Your absence leaves a deep void in my heart, and I miss you both terribly. Still, on this day of thanks, I am so thankful for all the moments we shared in our lives together. I hold them all deep in my heart Momma & Pappa until again love & miss you both so much.”

Mama I wish earth was like heaven, but it not I’m here and your way up there. Heart breaking but heaven will make us whole again. 

Pappa left this World 3 years ago today on Sept 22.2019 On the first day of Fall and today starts the first day of Fall and nothing has changed from the Fall 3 years ago when Pappa left us that Fall Morning .... We love you, We MIss you so much Pappa...You are Always loved, never forgotten, & forever missed Pappa... Until Again

Happy Heaven Birthday Pa!

Today 3 years ago is the day you are welcomed into heaven.
The first day you saw the golden gates and lights brighter than the sun.
The day Jesus welcomes you with open arms and a gift for all the good you did on this earth.
Today is the day you see your bride once again after so many years.
The day you kissed your mother and hug your brother. The day you see your heavenly father and meet and know your real earthly Pa.

Today is the day you see God’s glory. The day you are young and healthy again. The day you join the angels. Today is a day to celebrate your life and where God says, “well done good and faithful servant.” Today God wipes away your tears and suffering and that we Thank God for dieing for all of our sins so that we can live in heaven with Jesus.

Today is also a day of weeping and sorrow, because we don’t get to see you again here on this earth. We know when Jesus sees the sorrow we feel and he weeps with us. He weeps for us. He knows the pain of seeing a loved one suffer and die, because he saw his own son, Jesus suffer an agonizing death and die. But God, but God is so merciful and so powerful that he overcame death so that we could live in eternity.

So your heaven Birthday is happy for you and it’s sad for us. We have to say goodbye, something no one wants to have to do especially to their father who wiped away tears, protected them, made them laugh and provide for them.

You are a wonderful Father, Papa and we are thankful for all you have done for all of us.
Thank you for working hard, being responsible and always thinking of your kids first. For faithfully reading your bible and praying and be a good example of what God’s Grace, forgiveness and mercy looks like.

No one is perfect and everyone has sinned except God. You are a good man with a good heart and your life will be celebrated forever with your memories and your humor. We respect you and honor you and now you will be respected and honored in heaven as a ‘Warrior Angel’ strong and wise, faithful and true to God and your family.

We love you Pa and we will miss you.

Give Mama a kiss in heaven from all of us.

The one thing I love the most from my husband is the love,  And the highest most respect he has shown my parents from the first day which was 31 years ago and continues to love and respect my parents today.. We love and miss you both Pappa & Mamma always...

When you are close to a tree it looks huge and important, but when you are far away from it, you can't even see it in the forest of other trees and it looks tiny compared to a mountain. In the same way, our life here on Earth can seem very important to us, but if we are able to step back and see it compared to eternity, we will realize that what is really important is not this life, but eternity...

It is wonderful to know that human life is not without purpose or an end in itself. God's Word shows conclusively that there is life after death, that there is an age to come in which all those who have not been called to salvation will be raised to new life and hear what God offers to those who repent and accept Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. The resurrection from the dead provides hope for all humanity (Acts 24:15; I Peter 1:3).

Death is not an ending, but a symbol of movement along the path upon which we are all traveling. As it may be painful to lose contact with the physical aspect of one we love, the Spirit can never be lost. We have been and always will be a part of each other. — John Denver

"Death is not the end, but the beginning of a new life.. Death is the ultimate experience of this life, and the beginning experience of another. Death is the door between two lives; one is left behind, one is waiting ahead.

The 'Course in Miracles' says one day you will realize that death is not the punishment but the reward. And it says that birth is not the beginning of life but a continuation. And physical death is not the end of life but a continuation.- Marianne Williamson

Today On 8/20..my mother gave birth to me and named me Theresa a beautiful name after the St. Teresa and the pain she went through for those 9 months I was in her tummy to carry 8lbs.and a few ounces of me and then giving birth the natural way and without any analgesics or anesthetics we now have these days was not easy and I thank her for it everday and bec. of her I'm here today and also for my dad. They gave up most of their time here to all of us and poured all the love they had into all of us.
They helped us when we needed it the most always never said NO to us .I love them for what they do for us and that’s why I need to thank them always for all they’ve done for us all. I can keep going on and on to write so much things my parents did for all of us but I will just keep short and say Mamma & Pappa thank you for this day 8/20 you've given me to celebrate every year of my life on this 8/20 day ...Thank you for giving me life on this day 8/20/197.and raising me. You endured sleepless nights, worry and money spent. I want to thank you both Mamma & Pappa for the sacrifice you made in my name. I love you both so much & miss the you both so much but that one day comes for all of us one day and only God knows when and we will depart this life like you both did and reunite on that special day only God knows... Until that day love & kisses......

You were the best mom in the world. I wish we could celebrate your birthday together but I guess God knows best and I believe He is taking good care of you wherever you are in paradise.

Happy Heavenly Birthday Ma!

Love, your Son

I have always and will until God Gives me the strength like my dad would always say... Give yearly Masses and Candles Lighting for My parents on their special days ... The only thing I can do these days since I have them no more here.. But one day will come when I'm reunited with my parents again .... Love you Both Mamma & Pappa...

A mother like Mamma deserves recognition while she was with Us and after she left Us 7 Years Ago for heaven too. Remembering Mamma today on her Birth In Aug 5.1938 an Angel was born for Us on that day 84 Years Ago Today. Always be grateful for Our Mother even after she left this world and the only thing i can do now which i wished i could touch and kiss you instead was give you birthday mass and light a candle in your memory at Church. Mamma, I want you to always know that even though your are not here On earth with Us today but In Heaven ...You are so loved by all of us and we are very thankful for having you in our lives. We love you so much and we miss all the fun times and great memories that we shared together, Happy 84th Birthday Mamma Bella!
