Doris Falidis-Nickolas’ poetry beautifully captures love, loss, and remembrance, offering comfort to those navigating grief.
SALANDRA, Francesco (Frank) Relatives and friends are advised that a One Year Mind Mass will be offered MONDAY, November 26 at 7.00 pm in St. Francis of Assisi Church, 59 Newton Road, Newton. The family sincerely thank all who attend. My darling Frank, 12 months have passed in a flash and there are days that I still expect you to walk through the door. The pain is still fresh in my heart and mind as the angels carried you away to the heavenly garden, so unexpected and without any warning far too soon. I miss your smile, your laughter and your arms around me and the talks we used to have at the dinner table. All of them I miss but especially I miss you so much. Time will never erase the memories of you. Not a day goes by that I don t think of you. My heart still aches with the pain and sadness of living without you and not having you by my side is the hardest of all. You will always live in my heart forever and I love you so. I will close my eyes and my hands together, to hold and cherish all the beautiful memories close to my heart that we created together, until we meet again my love in the heavenly garden. Love you forever, your loving wife Loredana. Those we love don t go away. They walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard but always near, still loved, still missed, and very dear. Dad, you will be eternally remembered and loved. Love always, Joe, Pam, Junior, Jeremy, Jamila and Julissa. Dad, Not a day goes by that you are not in our thoughts. You were and always will be a true inspiration and teacher of life. We miss you beyond words, but take comfort in knowing that you are by our side guiding us each day. Forever in our hearts, Steve, Josephine, Eva and Baby Salandra. Dad, I feel the loss of you every day. I see you in my dreams but it s never enough. When the boys do something that reminds me of you, I take comfort in knowing a part of you is still with us. Until we meet again, love always, Adam, Elizabeth, Frank, Peter and Luca Salandra. Though your smile has gone forever and your hand I cannot touch, I still have so many memories of the one I love so much. Your memory is my keepsake with which I ll never part, God has you in his keeping, I have you in my heart. Dad, you are profoundly missed but never forgotten. Love always your little girl, Daniela.
