YOUR SMILE
ReplyDeleteThough your smile is gone forever, and your hand I cannot touch, I still have many memories of the one I loved so much.
Your memory is my keepsake, with which I eill never part.
God has you in His keeping, I have you in my heart!
Hey Gram I feel like having some string beans and potatoes Ill put up the pot and get the italian bread........I love and miss you so very much i can hear you singing neena nawna in my sleep and it makes me so happy to know that your happy.......Hope we are making you proud LOVE LOVE FOREVER Love Toe Toe xoxoxox
ReplyDeleteEven though we miss you like crazy, I'm so happy your with grandpa again. Is he looking for one of us grand kids to rub his feet yet? Are you guys playing cards? I wish I could see the two of you together again. Make sure you tell him how you honered him everyday. I love and miss you both.
ReplyDeleteOn Saturday you will be gone 2 months. I cannot believe I am still waiting to see your smiling face.I am left with a big emptiness in my heart.I am very happy that you are with the love of your life again after 27 years. but that doesn't fill the emptyness I feel
ReplyDeleteSomeone told me that I have to let you go so you can be at peace, and that we all should fill the emptiness with all the good memories and love you both left us with.
So I am going to try, and ask everyone else to do the same because I'm sure we all want you to be in peace. You were and are still my best friend and since I can't talk to you anymore I will pray to you , Please know that my love for you will never end.
Till we meet again,
Me
So I see You to watch Ghost Whisper>
ReplyDeleteRest in Peace.
I love you
I can't believe it will be
ReplyDeletetwo months on Saturday. I miss you so much. I miss our daily multiple phone calls. We never ran out of things to say. I still "talk" to you and I'm sure you know that. I will never find a "best friend" like you if I looked for the rest of my life. Please look down and help us all in our daily lives. I am happy you are with dad. Kiss each other for me and keep shining down on us and smiling. I love you more than words can express.
Love forever & a day,
Angela
xoxoxoxo
Every phone call that comes in, I expect to be you.....singing to me.......and saying.it's only a number. The number part doesn't bother me. I feel 40! It's the emptiness that is painful. I love you mom.
ReplyDeleteKisses and Hugs always, JoAnne
Mom you are always my first thought when I get up and the last before I close my eyes. Iknow that will always be.. But what I hope is that it stops hurting so much. I miss you more than words can say. I know you are with dad and very happy, and that's what keeps my sanity. It is 2 months and I still cannot comprehend that you are gone.I put your robe on & I smell you, I feel your presence with me. I guess that I have to learn that this will have to be enough for now. Kiss dad for me and tell him he is one lucky man to have you now. I love you both very much & miss you more than words can say. Love Angela (pasquolina)
ReplyDeleteGram it took me forever to look for a dress. I thought I would never find anything....but I did. I had your locket on with pictures of you and grandpa in it. I held it in my hand and asked that you please help me find something. It was the 1st dress I tried on! I knew at that moment that it was your doing. I know you were there every minute with me. I am so glad you were able to see me in it. I love and miss you more and more each day. I call Aunt Marie's and there are so many times I almost slip and say put gram on. I know you hear all of us talking to you and I think thats what helps all of us. I love you grandma more then anything. xo
ReplyDeleteI miss you more than words can ever say
ReplyDeleteThere's a hole in my heart, Sweet Mama, Sweet Mama....there's a hole in my heart, Sweet Mama, a hole!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Mom
ReplyDeleteWell Easter passed and it was surely a hard one. I went to the cemetary and I felt you knew I was there. It was a very hard day. I wanted to talk to you so bad. I knew I couldn't. That is what is so hard to beleive, that I can never pick up a phone and laugh & cry with you, and confide in you. I miss that so much. You were truly my best friend. I love & miss you very much.I know it will get easier but the question is when? I know you are looking down on us & watching & helping everyone. Keep up the good work! You can stay busy all day watching over this brood. Enjoy your time with dad and remember that now is your time to stop worrying about us all. We are good. You gave us the greatest memories and good times any one person could ask for. I miss you terribly. Till we meet again. I love you lots kiss & hug dad for me.
Love angela

I miss you more than words can ever say. Happy Mother's Day in heaven. I love you
ReplyDeleteWe all got through mothers day at our own pace, mom. It was a very difficult day for all of us. We miss you so much. I` know it will get easier with time, but, the first of anything without you is always the hardest.
ReplyDeleteEveryday I want to call and talk to you and then stop myself. I never realized how much those little conversations meant to me before now. It makes me realize how precious life is and to make the best of every minute. You never know what tomorrow may bring.
Love and miss you with all my heart.
Dear Grandma Josie,
ReplyDeleteToday is your 4th month Anniversary that you are no longer with us. An I miss hearing your voice on the telephone when I call my mother and father. I know that they miss you alot too. Always in my heart forever and ever. Miss and Love You so very much. Denise
Mom
ReplyDeleteIt has been 4 months since we said goodbye. In my heart there are no goodbyes. I love you & miss you so much it hurts. Mothers day was a tough one for all of us. How do you get past having a mother for 63 years and then not having her? You are truly my best friend ever and always will be. There is no one like you in this world. This is a tough time with all the special dates starting with May 3rd to June 7th. We will all cope with it knowing you and dad are together and happy. I keep asking you to show me a sign and you do everytime & I love you so much for that. Tell dad I love him & miss him too.Your words ring in my ears to always be the better person when things go wrong, it is a hard philosophy but I do try, sometimes it is useless but your positivity and love rings in my heart everyday and I use that as a guide to get through anything & like you say "put my face in front of you and think about what you do", I try my best. Wish you were still here to guide me through life, but your wisdom and words are still with me & that helps a lot. Thanks for being the best mother in the world always.
Love always,
Angela
As I sit and read these posts, I pray that you knew how much we ALL loved you. We were blessed to have you for all these years. You were always there for all of us no matter what. Please know that ~ I will always be here for all of my family......no matter what! You taught us to stick together, to love each other and to help each other through thick and thin.....I hope I can live up to your expectations.
ReplyDeleteGram Franki's Birthday was on May 19th and i kept checking the answering machine wishing i would hear you sing to her just one last time........I LOVE AND MISS YOU SO VERY MUCH, not a day goes by that i dont think of you. Kisses to you and to grandpa LOVE LOVE

ReplyDeletexoxox
When we lost Dad I thought it was the worst thing in the world, and it was, but we still had you. Losing you makes everything so final. I have wonderful memories of the two of you and thats what keeps me going. I love and miss you both very much. More than you will ever know. I hope the big hole in my heart heals someday. I hope the two of you are finally happy together.
ReplyDeleteWhen Dad passed, things came apart for everyone and you helped put it all together again. Now you are gone and things are falling apart again.....we need your prayers and your strength.....please help everyone keep things together.
ReplyDeleteTHINGS ARE NOT GETTING BETTER. WILL THEY EVER? I MISS YOU SOOO MUCH. I GO TO PICK UP THE PHONE EVERYDAY OR I GO TO ASK ONE OF MY BROTHERS & SISTERS IF THEY SPOKE TO YOU. IT IS SUCH A VOID AND A HURT.I CAN ONLY PRAY YOU ARE UP THERE WATCHING OVER ALL OF US AND TRYING TO HELP US ALL OUT. I KNOW PRAYING WAS A BIG PART OF YOUR LIFE, KEEP IT UP MOM, WE ALL NEED IT BADLY. I LOVE YOU BOTH SO MUCH AND MISS YOU MORE THAN I COULD EVER IMAGINE.
ReplyDeleteI miss you both so much. I can't believe that today is 7 months. It is so unbelievable that it has been that long already. Hasn't gotten any easier, still miss you a whole bunch. Love you both and I hope you are both happy together in heaven.
ReplyDeleteit is over 7 months. so hard to believe it. i don't know know when the hold in my heart will begin to heal? i hope you & dad are happy together. that is the only peace i get knowing that you are together. things here are a little bit of a mess for everyone in diferent ways. please pray for us all. i love you with all my heart forever and always xoxoxxox
ReplyDeleteMOM
ReplyDeleteIt is almost 8 months since you are gone. I have never lost the urge to pick up the phone & talk to you yet. I don't think that will ever go away. But I do talk to you, (wink wink) I think you hear me fine.
Please pray for all of us. We all need a little help somewhere or another. As the saying goes you never get too old to need your mother.Give dad a big kiss & hug from all of us.
Love you so much
xoxoxoxoxo
Well, we now know for sure that Vincent & Caitlin are blessings us with a grandson. John has turned 26. Corinn is getting married next Sunday. So much is happening. So many more reasons to miss having you both here. I know you are watching over us. I feel it. I see the little signs. It is unreal that so much time has passed and we all still feel your presence. We miss you so much.
ReplyDeleteCorinn has made the most beautiful tribute to you. I cannot wait to have the whole family see it. I know there won't be a dry eye in the house. Love and miss you more than words can say.

Hi Grandma Josie, It has been nine months since you left us to go to heaven. An I miss you and Grandpa Tony so very much. My heart will always ache for you and Grandpa Tony. Not being able to call and talk to both of you on the telephone each and every week. I know that you both are in my heart forever and ever. I miss your escorole soup with the little meatballs. I am making that today in your memory for Chris and I for dinner. We went to Corrin and Josh's Wedding this past Sunday. An it was so beautiful. Corrin looked like a "Princess" in her wedding dress. You were with her and Josh and the rest of the family in spirit. An she dedicated a movie to you and it is called "It's A Wonderful Life" in your memory. I love you forever and ever. Denise
ReplyDeleteMom
ReplyDeleteI can't believe it is 9 months. When does it get better? I am missing you more & more, you are truly embedded in all of our hearts forever, both you & dad.
Corinn & Josh got married, they made a film clip of you & dad and "your wonderful life" There wasn't a dry eye in the house. But it was meant to let us feel that you were there with us, and as I told Corinn & Josh in the video, I know you were in that room wishing them as much love & happiness that you & dad had.It was a wedding to be remembered for always. I
love you so much & will never ever forget you. Till we meet again. I love you & dad always. You truly were the best parents anyone could ask for. I don't think there are many daughters that can actually say i never fought with my mother, I love saying that because to me you were also my best friend & confidant.. Love you lots, always & forever.
I still miss our multiple daily phone calls. SometimesI go to pick up the phone or mean to say to Marie where is mom? Then I remember and it hits me like a ton of bricks. But we know you are in peacde and most of all with dad. Give each other a special kiss from me.

Thinking of you today, more than ever. Having a sad day. Need ~your voice, your words of wisdom. Love you both.
ReplyDeleteMom
ReplyDeleteTen months today, so hard to believe. I just came from the cemetary & I would like to believe that you heard me talking to you & dad. I always feel good doing that because I know if anyone could listen it would be you & dad.
I love & miss you more than you could ever know The hole in my heart has not yet begin to heal, I don't know if it ever will. You are first & foremost in my mind when I wake up & when I go to sleep. I know we were very lucky to have you for so many years, but, if it was 100 years it still would not have been enough.
I love you forever. Until we meet again.
Love you forever & a day,
Angela

Happy Thanksgiving Mom & Dad.
ReplyDeleteI miss you both so much. More than you could ever imagine. Life will never be the same or normal again.
So glad you are spending it with dad.
I love & miss you both with all my heart, forever.
The day will be strange without calling you. I will just take it one hour at a time.
Miss you more than words can ever express.
Until we meet again.
Love you always to no end.

ReplyDeleteHolidays are coming & all I am doing is wishing them away. This is our first Christmas without you & there is still such a void in our life. I wish it was all over. Miss & love you more than you will ever know.
Dad..miss & love you too. The only consolation is that you are together again finally.
xoxox

Dear Mom & Dad,
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you both!!! I miss & love you both very much. Can't believe we are spending without you.

There are sno words for the loss of a mother.Love you

Well we rang in a new year without you. I it was a horror. You are usually the first phone call i make, I opted to call no one on the eve.
ReplyDeleteI have so many things in my life that I keep going to pick up the phone to share with you. Daily things that you asked, things that you used to get a kick out of & special things that I know you would be so happy to hear.
But, I do talk to you & I know you know that for sure.
Miss & love you & dad so much. Until we meet again.
I love you,

ReplyDeleteDear Mom,
ReplyDeleteI find it so sureal that tomorrow will be a year you left us.
We all know that you are finally with dad. That makes us feel good but, does not make us miss you any less.
There have been so many significant events in my life that I know you would have enjoyed hearing about. While I "talk" to you about them. It just isn't the same as being able to pick up the phone & hear your beautiful voice. I know you are so happy that I retired finally, I am enjoying it so much. You mentioned it to me when you were in the hospital & I listened.
Just wish you were here to enjoy it with me.
I love & miss you so much.
The hole in my heart hasn't even begin to close, I can't imagine it ever will.
I love & miss you with all my heart to no end.
You are still the best friend I have ever had. You were the one constant thing in my life for 63 years, miss you forever & a day.
I love you with all my heart forever. There is no loss like the one of a mother. To quote you, to the world you were one but to me you were my whole world xoxo
Until we meet again.
Love you so much,
Angela
One year without my Nunzie. You can't believe how much we miss you. I think of you so much. I can't get your voice out of my head, and you know what, I don't want to. Next month for my birthday, I will miss hearing your birthday wish. I can hear it on a tape but it's not the same. Please always remember how much you meant and still mean to us. Love you my little Nunzie. Give Uncle Tony and my mom and dad a kiss for me. Love you all so much. "Me"
ReplyDeleteP.S. I know I was one of your favorites, even though you would never admit it. lol Love you lots.
To our Beloved Aunt Jo,
ReplyDelete1 year, doesn't seem possible, went to mass this morning for you it was beautiful but can't believe I was hearing your name. We love you and miss you every day, still have your messages on my machine at home. Really miss our great talks and your wonderful advice.
Kiss Uncle Tony and Mom and Dad for us. Will miss you and love you forever

If I had to tell you how I feel it would take up all the space on this blog. Just know you will always be in my heart for as long as I live. I will never forget what you did for me to make it possible to live and become the person I am today. I think of you as my Mom and uncle Tony as my Dad because that's just the way it is. Your children have been and will always be the brothers and sisters I never had. This is because the love you gave them comes through them to me.
ReplyDeleteI will love you always and forever. "Your 9 of hearts" Joseph

ReplyDeleteOnce again I missed your birthday song terribly. I have it on my phone (to Vito) but I played it and I cried. Then my family came over and we had a good day.
I love you both with all of my heart. Well if you have an answer for me as to when the hole will start to shrink in my heart, I would love if you send me an answer.It didn't even start to heal yet.
