Carol was a lady That was loved by everybody in the church of Saint Elizabeth Of The Trinity Parish, . I would see her on Saturday nights, sometimes she would administer to me the Eucharist and other times she’d be on the other side of the church, but we always acknowledged each other with a hello and a nice greeting, she’s going to be missed by her family, friends and the parishioners of the Saturday 4 o’clock mass at church. RIP , CAROL.
Crystal,
I’m so sorry to hear about the loss of your mom. My heart goes out to you and your family. I’ll always remember her when she took so good care of my dad when he was sick with cancer. She was a very kind and caring woman. She is at peace now with God and her suffering is over. She is still watching over you and you’re children. May she rest in peace. Sending you alot of hugs to you , Dan and those beautiful children.
My dear Aunt/Godmother. I am so saddened by your passing as you have been my biggest fan for as long as I can remember. I have such wonderful memories as a child when we lived downstairs from you on Ferry Street. My sisters and I would run upstairs to your house from the scary little hallway that connected our houses. We would eat, drink, play Nintendo in the living room and pass out on the couch. When you moved to North Haven you did not forget about us. You would come get us to go swimming and you brought us “big blue”. You never missed a Birthday or Christmas. You would call me up and sing the entire Happy Birthday song to me. I would say Auntie I am an old man now please do not get me anything, but you would not listen to me. I am blessed to have had you in my live for 50 years, but that was not long enough. My last visit with you was so special. We laughed and joked, I blew you a kiss and said I will see you next week. Unfortunately there was no next week. You fought right to the end with grace and dignity. I cannot put into words how much you will be missed.
Love forever and always,
Dominic

When Tomorrow Starts Without Me
By David Romano
When tomorrow starts without me
And I’m not here to see
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me
I wish you wouldn’t cry
The way you did today
While thinking of the many things
We did not get to say
I know how much you love me
As much as I love you
Each time that you think of me
I know you will miss me too
When tomorrow starts with out me
Please try to understand
That an angel came and called my name
And took me by the hand
The angel said my place was ready
In heaven far above
And that I would have to leave behind
All those I dearly love
But when I walked through Heaven’s Gates
I felt so much at home
When God looked down and smiled at me
From his golden throne
He said this is eternity
And all I promised you
Today for life on earth is done
But here it starts a new
I promise no tomorrow
For today will always last
And since each day’s the exact same way
There is no longing for the past
So when tomorrow starts without me
Do not think we’re apart
For every time you think of me
Remember I’m right here in your heart
Lisa, Vinny & Crystal, I’m so sorry to hear about your mom I just found out today that she has passed. Please no you’ll be in my prayers. She’s at rest now along with our other family that has passed.
Love you, cousin Maria.
