"The Broken Chain"
We little knew that day,
God was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death, we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you.
You did not go alone.
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.
You left us beautiful memories,
Your love is still our guide.
And although we cannot see you,
You are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken,
And nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.
David & Joe, I was so upset to hear about Patty's passing. She was a great young lady, and I have such fond memories of us all growing up on Dale Street. My thoughts and prayers go out to you both and to Patty's husband and family. She left us too soon. Shej will be so missed by all. I still think of Mom & Dad alot! God Bless to all!!!!!
Love
Kim Licciardi-Callahan, husband Thomas and daughter Erin Marie
I am so sorry for your loss my prayers are with you and your family
Patty and i were coworkers for many years and she was one of the nicest people you could ever work with. Patty was always helpful, cheerful and such a warm hearted person.
Her loss will leave a profound impact especially since she left us so unexpectedly and all too soon.
My heartfelt sympathy and condolences to the family and friends she left behind. Let your fond memories provide some comfort during this incredibly sad time.
I am deeply sad for your devastating loss.
I am very sorry for your loss. I hope knowing that your loved one is in our loving heavenly Father's memory will bring your family comfort during this difficult time. Very soon now we can look forward to God's promise at a Revelation 21:4: "… Death will be no more, neither will mourning, nor outcry, nor pain be anymore, the former thing gave passed away."
Sincerely,
Monique
To the Vastarelli family, I am so sorry for your loss. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family. I knew Patty from Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield.
