La mia bella Rosa,
You were my eyes, my love and my life.
So loving and kind to me all my life.
Such a beautiful memory left behind.
The blow was great, the shock severe.
I never knew the end was near.
Only those who have lost a loved one can tell.
The pain of parting from you was our last farewell.
You tried so hard to stay and get well but the
Lord had your place already prepared.
My life will never be the same again without your smile, your caring ways.
Con amore il tuo caro marito, Rocco.

Dear Ma,
As we stood beside your bedside
And watched you fade away,
Our hearts were almost broken,
as you fought so hard to stay.
We know you didn’t want to leave,
But you were never alone,
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home.
Love you always, Frances, Carmel and Lina.

Nonna,
If roses grew in Heaven Lord
Please pick up a bunch for us.
Place them in my grandmothers arms and tell her they’re from us.
Tell her that we love and miss her and when she turns to smile,
Place a kiss upon her cheek and hold her for a while.
Because remembering her is easy, we do it every day.
But there is an ache within our hearts that will never go away.
Love your grandchildren and great grandchildren,
Lia, Sam, Paula, John-Paul, Sara, Montana, Nevada, Memphis, Sebastian, Leonardo, Stella.

Our sincere thanks to Dr Chako, Dr Pace and Dr Leonello for their friendship and care over the past years.
