I will always love you till forever comes Ma...

But the love you gave will always live in me

You are to me the greatest love of all

There is no other
Love like a mothers 
Love for her child

Mama, you gave life to me...and
Turned a baby into a lady.....

Sometimes I stare up at Heaven so far away, 
Looking forward to seeing Mamma again one day. 
I know she's with JESUS and all is well, 
And Mamma, Her stories she'd love to tell! 
I'll never stop missing my Mamma,
But she couldn't be in better care with the Lord! 
Every day I miss her more and more it seems, 
Some nights she visits me in my dreams! 
My Mamma is a Special Angel in Heaven
She's Singing and Praising JESUS,

She's still exploring that Beautiful City of 
Heaven Gold..So much beauty for her eyes to behold! 
Mamma's with JESUS now and waiting for me
Walking with JESUS arm in arm on that 
beautiful shore! 
She doesn't miss this place in the least, 
She's completely healed now and resting in 
Peace! Love and miss you Mamma Deeply until the end my time
So I Can Hug And Kiss You Again 

Ma, Papa misses you as much as i do and i wish i could bring you back just for him to be happy again, bec.we both know how much you both loved each other.. One day we will all be together in your Mansion God has given you and waiting for us to join you, one by one we will come back to you Ma, dont worry love you...

Ma, your memories are my life’s only solace. I miss you. Until we meet again..

The skies look beautiful every day because Heaven cannot contain the beauty that you radiate. I miss you Ma.

Without you Ma, the days are so long & sometimes it's hard to just carry on. You gave me life & love to all things
The joy of giving was what you would bring.
I see your smile inside my head, It just isn't fair that you have to be gone.
I know you suffered though all the while You held your head high & even would smile.
As I watched you go through it, I always had hope,
Even when we came to the end of the rope. Everything that we went through in the final days
are forever embeded in me, scared for life. Through ups & downs you always were strong.
Life can be kind & cruel in the same, But you will live on in me forever because of loves eternal flame.
Until we are together again Ma.. 

Some time has passed by 
     Since Ma you said goodbye 
   But your precious deep love 
     Remains here inside of me. 

There's not enough words in our vocabulary to say all that should be said about my Mamma...

The Miracle of Life nurtured by a woman
who gave us love and sacrifice…MAMMA

Mother – that was the bank where we deposited all our hurts and worries

Now I know why you always asked me to be strong… because you know that one day I would need the strength to bear your loss. I miss you Ma...

If tears could build a stairway, and memories a lane, I’d walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Momma, will the tears ever dry? I ask this as I wipe my eyes. I’m told in time. But I don’t think so. I wasn’t ready to let you go.

She’s the best mom ever in the world and now in Heaven....

 I’m still adjusting to being the person in the store who skips right past the “Mom” section. It doesn’t apply to me now. I don’t have a mom anymore. At least, I don’t have a living one. This makes me sad. Here’s the truth: It sucks so bad to lose your mom.

I miss her every day very much. Some day's I’m not able to function in the world, but yes, so much that right now, tears are streaming down my face as I type this. Because in my mind, my mom was the best mom ever, in every way possible in work, caring, heart, loving, clean, honest and so on i can keep going on how special my mom was to me and everyone around who knew her...If you weren't around to enjoy her for no reason but bec. your issue with money then you are a piece of shit in my book, sorry for that word, but true... 

It’s the natural cycle of life, and I get that. We Live, We Love,  And We Die. If we’re intelligent, somewhere along the way we begin to understand that we're connected to a much greater consciousness, and that Source allows us all to be connected forever. 

So in moments like these, when I'm temporarily engulfed in pain and sadness, it helps me to recall: My mom’s not gone. Her body died. But her soul is still very much alive and with me always in my heart, mind, and home,  until that day when the Lord calls me back home to him and my mom in Heaven she will always be alive in my world..

So this year as Mother’s Day approaches, in my own heart, this is what I say to my mom, in absentia:   Hi, Ma. I’m thinking of you today. I love you very much. Thank you for being the best mother ever. This year on Mother’s Day, I'll miss you even more bec.im not with you. But every time I think of you, I will smile — maybe sometimes through tears, but I'll still smile. And I will be thinking, Thank you for being such a great role model in every way to me and my brother's and Nonna to all your grandkids that loved you and miss you darely. I love you Ma. Now. Still. And forever. Until we meet again Ma...Love you Mamma Per Sempre

The one person I look up to the most is my Mom and she was also my best friend all in one Mom she was. She was a very hardworking and caring Mom who was always there for me when I needed her. Every time I had a problem or had a bad day, she was the only person that always made everything better for me. I knew I could trust in her with anything, and everything . My Mom always gave me wise advice. She taught me so many things in life and they still help me through life today. She always told me to stand up for what I believe in and not let others persuade me. She was always faithful and always there to listen to me. I knew I can always count on her with everything and anything in life and i truly miss her for all that...

One thing that stood out the most was her caring attitude toward us. She put us children first in front of herself. Always making sure we were having a good day, and having food on the table when we came home from school or work, she was always cooking and baking new things she would always love to do. My mom was the one person who would give me the best advice on how to deal with the situations i would have in life. She is the one and only person that knew me very well and when something was wrong with me she would read my body language or by my voice sounding and say, "Theresa whats wrong, your not feeling good or something else is bothering you", I would say "No Ma, Im fine dont worry", but she would know i was not saying the truth and eventually get it out of me, but I know she's still loving & caring for me from above and until i get back home to her. She was always there for me, and showed me that she truly cared & loved me. She was and will always be The Best Mom In The World...

My Mother was a very hardworking women. She was always up early in the morning to help us get ready for school, make breakfast, and even pack our lunches, and also go to work all day and handwash our clothes . My mom was truly the best, loving, hard working and caring Mom/human being that I will ever know on this earth... God willing i will be reunited with her in Heaven and Never Leave Her side again.. 

Ma it's been 5 months now since
God and His angels called you away.
Oh, how the angels rejoiced as you walked
Through those pearly gates that day!

Ma, when they said you were going to die
I refused to believe it could be true.
How could I allow myself to even
Imagine saying goodbye to you?

Ma, you were an angel here on earth
I learned so very much from you.
You were so gentle and so kind; your
Smile would always see me through.

You taught me how to love unconditionally
And how to be my very best in all I do.
You gave your all to God and your family,
Never once stopping to think about you.

You were more than a mother, you were my
Best friend and a great listener too.
Oh, how I miss our special talks and
All the fun things we used to do.

Ma, I can never say goodbye to you,
Because I could never bear the pain.
Instead, I say I love you, Ma
Until we meet again.

Ma, today i went to visit u at Holy Cross Mausoleum and on the entrance door to you, there was the image of The Virgin Mary and it was you showing and saying to me im in Heaven watching down on you and waiting on me when my time is done here on Earth, You are my Angel like i say all the time and today was so amazing to see that image on the entrance door to you...I Love & Think Of You Always Until I See You Again In Heaven Ma 

God saw you getting tired,

So He put His arms around you

and whispered "Come to me."

With tearful eyes, we watched you 

and saw you pass away.

Although we loved you dearly,

we could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating,

hard working hands at rest. 

God broke our hearts to prove to us,

He only takes the best. -

Once upon a time an angel held my hand,
She wiped away my tears and helped me understand.
Our time on earth is brief, there's lessons to be learned,
Each precious day God gives us another page is turned.
Every chapter full of memories, times of joy and tears,
Triumphs and defeats, through every passing year.
She loved all four of us unconditionally, always by our side,
When no one else would listen, in her we could confide.
With gentle words of wisdom she led us on our way,
Down the paths of righteousness and if we ever we did stray.
She saw the light in everyone and gave with no regrets,
Always from her heart let's not forget.
Angels come in many forms, for me it is my mother,
With love I cannot say in words there'll never be another.
Every day I turn the page in my heart will ever remain,
Everything she taught me as I stroll down memory lane.
Thank you God for giving me the most priceless of all treasures,
Help my Lord to keep alive her memory here forever.
That's she smiling down from heaven knowing she did good.
There is no ending to her story.
Just Another chapter has begun full of grace and glory.
God's called her to his heavenly home, part of his great plan,
Although it is hard everyday, but we all must understand.
Faith is what is hoped for, things we cannot see,
Heaven is promised to all of us if only we believe.
 
My Mamma is my angel now ....Until we meet again Ma love always....

God let us give Mamma a beautiful place inside the Holy Cross Mausoleum because so much sun shines inside there... Mamma loved the sun... Cant wait to reunite with you Ma again.... Mamma you gave me Life And Love 24/7 and You stil are from Afar.......Until Then I Love You Always Beautiful

Ma....

Mamma's tree has blossomed so beautiful... We had a tree dedicated to Mamma outside Holy Cross Mausolem... Its a pear tree which she loved and it was so weird we were able to purchase it and when they told us its Pear trees we were like wow Mamma'a favorite...

My Mamma was a very, very, very hard working woman, and even tho she had medical issues thru out her life it did not stop her from being such a hard working mother/women/wife/nonna....and I never heard her complain once...love her so much rest her soul & her hard working hands...wish i could be half the women she was..... I can never forget how much she did for us from doing everything the hard way instead of taking the easy way, like hand washing all our clothes, hang drying them out on a line and if was raining outside she would hang them all down in the basement, hand washing dishes, cooking every meal for us & never ordering out , growing her own gardens from tomatoes, green beans, eggplants, and etc.. she would have 2 or 3 backyards she would do every season with vegetables...."i would say so much work Ma".. but my mamma never complained but loved doing it and i remember she would say, "tomorrow wake up early so you can come and pick the green beans with me" which i didnt like doing because i was to lazy... also she would do her own painting around the homes she owned, painted inside and outside, i would go with her to help, but i didnt really do nothing just keeping her close to me all time and making sure she was ok, and how much i miss my mamma words cant describe.... I know one day God will reunite us again and be a tag team again that cant be seperated but until then i will always keep her memories close to me and my home... For anyone who wasnt around missed out on alot ...for not being around such a beautiful, hard working mom, friend, women, wife, grandmother, is their lost... So now the only thing that i can do is pray to God and that one day he will make me be with Mamma again... Love You Mamma

Dearest Mom,

My first Easter without you.....How do I get through it without you? How you loved to cook for this holiday and comeover. It will not be the same without you. I don't look forward to the Holiday's anymore. Without you they are just another day that I choose not to celebrate. I know you would want me to carry on the tradition you have instilled in me & I promise to try. I Miss You Mom & I Love You more than words can ever express.

Happy Easter In Heaven...Love, Theresa XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

To my dearest family,Im here with my mom, dad, brother and 2many to write

Some things I would like to say,

But first of all, to let you know

That I arrived ok.

I’m writing this from Heaven

Where I dwell with God above,

here there’s no more tears or sadness

There 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 that 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 so badly

As part of my big plan.

There’s so much that we have to do

To help our mortal man.

Then God gave me a list of things

He wished for me to do.

And foremost on that list of mine

Is to watch and care for you.

And I will be beside you

Every day and week and year.

And when you’re sad,

I’m standing there to wipe away the tears.

And when you lie in bed at night

The days chore 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’re only human

They’re 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

Of all that God has planned,

But if I were to tell you,

You would not understand.

God knows what it best.

I’m still not very far away from you

I’m just beyond the crest.

And now I am contented that my life,

It was worthwhile.

Knowing as I passed along the way

I made someone smile.

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 you feel that gentle breeze

Or the wind upon your face,

That’s me giving you a great big hug

Or just a soft embrace.

And when it’s time for you to go

From that body to be free,

Remember, you’re not going,

You are coming here to me.

And I will always love you

from that land way up above.

I’ll be in touch again soon,

P.S. GOD SENDS HIS LOVE!

My Beautiful Momma The Matriarch 

A woman of extreme strength, courage, hard work, and love,
Who was beautiful, soft and now peaceful and free as a dove.
Someone on who my admiration was built around,
For her being the family's Matriarch, a mother, a wife,a  friend, and a grandmother since she was brought into this world. 

My  Beautiful Momma, I will forever hold you in my heart in which I have truly learned the most from, 
Your strength as a wonderful mother to me. 
And which i hope to gain in raising Paulie & Dom.

My Beautiful Momma, I will always respect all you went through in your hardships and distinguished ways,
Your ability to hold yourself with such dignity and pride in all your days, 
Your beauty shines in us all now and forever.
I will carry you in my eyes, mind, and heart forever.

My Beautiful Momma, that is to hold you close by all you have taught me to do,
And to remember the beautiful women I owe my life to,
For giving us life to blessing us with your strong inner spirit of courage, hard work, your unconditional love and laughter,
For being such a person in who will always and have always
held deep in my heart now and here after.

My Beautiful Momma, You took a part of me with you as you followed your angels who guided you to your
precious place,
May you look down on us all with pride on what you brought
into this world with your guidance in which you are now 
truly our angel of grace.

My Beautiful Momma, as you are now in your heavenly home,
may you rest in peace for which you truly deserve,
For you will be truly missed and remembered for your love and honor in which I will preserve.
Ma.. i miss you sooo much no one knows but me and you.. when my time is to come back home to you , just meet me at the entrance to heaven with God, so i know where to go...Love and miss you soooo much Ma...

Remembering my mom i have lost should not only be sadness but that shes in a place much better than us. That’s if you believe in Heaven, which I do  I know she is in Heaven, and she is no longer in the pain she was when she was with us. My mom went through a lot in her life, from losing her mother when she was only a child, and worked hard since a child and continued working hard until the day she step into that hospital, never complained a day in her life with all shes been thru with her health. She has lived so much, in her 77yrs. I lost her now 3 month's ago, this coming Sunday the 28th, the moment I found out she passed right be4 my eyes and me holding her tight not wanting to let her go alone is etched in my memory forever. The last time I seen her will never escape my memory either. Oh how I miss her, how I wish she was still here, but that is my own selfishness that wants her to be here. I miss her laugh, her smile, her smell. I just miss her period...

Well there isn’t much to say today but it was Pappa's birthday he turned 75yrs.old today and I have to admit when I woke up this morning, I didn’t remember it was his birthday Ma, and we always celebrated his birthday at my home with food and a cake for him, but this year isn't the same for me Ma without you and im sorry. I knew it was you Ma, reminding me about his birthday tonite while waiting for Dominick to get out the gym , i just remebered weird. I know it’s silly but that’s how I see it. I can’t tell you how much I miss U MA, it hurts so much! I just need my time to cry. I’ll be okay, it’s just part of nature.

I miss U Ma, and no one will ever know how lonely that makes me feel. But I also have lots of very nice memories of you and me, and things that make me laugh that reminds me of u ma. I love you ma, and miss you so very much! Until we meet again and never leave u, love u lots Ma...............

Today will be the first Valentine's Day without momma since her passing in November that will be remembered forever, however God has been good to me bec.every other Valentine's be4 this sad one... i was always with her and bringing her that big red heart full of chocolate candies, that she wanted not for her but for Pappa bec.she knew his love for sweets.  As I think about my momma today on Valentine's day which i miss her so much though I do miss her it is not as though I will never see her again. That is the great thing about knowing it is not “Goodbye” but “See you later.” Even in the shadow of death, I believe I will see my mom again along with other loved ones that have passed on.

It is said that the memory of the just is blessed and it is certainly true because I have many good memories of momma and how she was a good mom to all 4of us. Praise the Lord for the good moms like my mom across this country. Those of you that have good moms give thanks for them because they won’t always be around. Give thanks for them and never take them for granted because they are a gift from God.

It is true that she is gone; but not forgotten. I’m thankful that God let me have her for all the years i did bec.as a child i was always scared that she was going to die bec.she was always going to the doctor's and i would always want to keep her close to me.. as a chiild growing up i would want her to sleep with me at night until i fell asleep... so i could always feel her breathing and knowing she was ok.. she was always with me. She always supported us and was there to do what she could for us all. For that reason I have much to be thankful for my momma and all my memories of my momma are forever with me, like my pappa always told her that she was.. "HONEST, CLEAN and A VERY HARD WORKER"... and she truly was and no other women can replace her.

Thank God for the word of God and its promises about eternal life, Heaven, and things to come. Thank God for this hope and his wonderful grace that has sustained me up until now and may God continue to sustain me and my family until Jesus comes.

I think she knew that her time was near but she still wanted to comfort us. Even in the face of her death she was concerned about her us all. That’s a mark of a good mom. One that always thinks about others rather than just themselves. Love You Momma until we meet again...

May God bless all the saved moms that love their families.

They may be gone; but never forgotten.

Ma, You taught me not to worry because if I truly trust in God’s plan, then I know there’s more to life than our human existence on Earth. With that understanding means there’s no reason to worry… ever. Everything is alright. 

You taught me to be strong because we all have our struggles in life. Getting upset over the stresses of adulthood are nothing compared to the experience of watching you pass before my eyes, knowing the only thing i could do to help you was my love… and my prayers. There’s been infinite times when I started to let my emotions get the best of me. Right before my weakness could drown my strength, I remember you and your fight for life – and fighting till that last breath you took with all of us by your side at 3:40 am on Nov.28.2015. It was the most hardest thing i ever had to do... knowing your leaving me and i wasn't able to stop you or help you ..it was so hard for me to watch, but the Lord had a different plan for you. 

You taught me to not fear death because if I do, then I’ll never truly live. All we have is right now, this very second, this very breath. Watching you stare that daunting day in the face with peace and grace allowed me to see the beauty in death. The beautiful truth that a place beyond our comprehension awaits us when we leave this Earth.

You taught me to be simple because it’s too easy to miss out on what really matters in life these days. We’re too busy being busy with all the distractions that come in this era. I now know that a simple life is a quality life, and a quality life is a life spent wisely like you did.

So, until that day when Jesus calls me to be with you again Ma and we will never be apart again, you will always forever be with me Ma, like you said many times about you know ....."We'll see each other in that other world then."

I used to love shopping at Wal-Mart and Shoprite our favs. places, we used to have so much fun. Since u have been gone I don't like shopping anymore. 

You taught me how to make pasta sauce, meatballs, and all the foods i cook today, I don't like to anymore but i have to just for you

This wasn't how I planned my life to be, u were supposed to be here ma You werent supposed to leave me. 

Everyday I'm reminded of how I don't have a mother, it hurts more than anything i don't even wish this pain even on my worst enemies.

Everyone says they could never imagine losing their mother, some say they would die. I'm still not sure how I still seemed to survive. 

It rips me apart inside to so many with their moms. Something I feel I was robbed of, you should still be here Ma.

Some days I'm sick of crying and I get very close to giving up on trying. 
I've dreamt of leaving just to be with you, but when I get close To it i know I'm supposed to stay for You, Dom.& Paulie, bec.thats what you want i kno. Ma.

Some days are tougher than others, I still cry for you because it just hurts so bad.

I wish you were still here ma. So I could call you to ask you things and gossip like John say's we always did lol but we did talk everyday and everynite, even if its just to say hi and for you to call me and ask where's Dominick home bec. you were so worried about him after what he did one time and he scared you and me and i would fall asleep on you while we were talking at nite you would say theresa are you sleeping ok go to sleep then, lol im sorry for fallng sleep on you Ma..

I feel so lost most of the days, many things i don't understand, ...I just wish we had more time together but sooner then later i wish i will be with you Ma... LOVE U ON PAULIE'S BIRTHDAY 2/9/96

There was one a person who made me feel safe
held my hand when I was sick, hurt, angry ,sad & happy 

This person was my mother she's the one I miss so much 
she brought me love and endless happiness in my life

On November 28th 2015 you died leaving me all alone,
oh God how I cried 

Why did you have to go please tell me why?
now all i do is cry and think of you on Paulie's Birthday

I wish you were here momma on Paulie's Birthday I miss you so much 
no one even knows what I would give just to see and touch you just once more

Why does everyone else get to have there moms near 
do they know I'd give anything to have my mother here?

I'm sad and lost mom will you help me find my way?
will you get rid of the tears I cry each day?
 

Momma I love you and thank you for all you did for us all 
and I hope sooner or later like pappa says we all go and be with you again 

For all those that have a mother please hold her tight 
and never do anything that will hurt her or that you will regret later

For you never know when she might have to go to back to GOD
and the pain that it brings ..... I hope you never have to know!!
