"Dad, time had passed and it is not an easier.
Sometimes missing you is the hardest and best part of my day, because I remember. I miss kissing your soft cheeks and most of all your raspy voice. Til we meet again, I know you and mom are watching over us."
In loving memory of

"Laura (Campione) Tartaglia Relation to Deceased: Friend I will always remember your vibrant smile and humor... always giving me and Renee the business. I am so fortunate to have shared a vacation in Villa Roma with your family and the "Daddy Daughter Dinner Dance's". You and my dad where definitely the best dancers and the "coolest" dad's! I want to thank you for Renee, I couldn't have asked for a better friend. It's true...apples don't fall far from the tree. Safely Home I am home in Heaven dear ones: Oh, so happy and so bright! There is perfect joy and beauty in this everlasting light. All the pain and grief is over, every restless tossing passed I am now at peace forever, safely home in Heaven at last. Then you must not grieve so sorely, for I love you dearly still; try to look beyond earth shadows, Pray to trust our Father's will There is work still waiting for you, so you must not idly stand: do it now, while life remaineth you shall rest in Jesus' land When that work is all completed, He will gently call you Home; oh the rapture of that meeting, oh the joy to see you come!"
"Lou, Rosa, Anthony (AJ) D'Angelo Tom and family, Our prayers and sincerest condolences are sent to you during this sad time."
"Gary salvatore Arnone Relation to Deceased: nephew I will always remember uncle mauro,as a man who loved his family and his friends. when he would come over to our house on sunday mornings,he would greet me with his famous words. Hey How Ya doing KIdd!.i always remember when my dad was termanily ill ,my uncle mauro was always there for him,he take him to his doctors appts,he would just sit around and shoot the breeze with my dad.he loved life,golf and good times.may he rest in peace,love ya uncle mauro! The celebration of life, shared in the beginning, and again, in the end. Yet we forget to celebrate it, in every moment we live. Time, days, years, go on, but are we alive? Alive and do not know it, sleeping in the world and dead to the life we are to live. To celebrate all life, the sparrow who sang in the morning, and died in the night, why do we not celebrate its life? To know thyself is to know you are alive - to give, to love, to seek truth, beauty, and suffer pain. In life as it is meant to be, pain is forgotten, and strength is all that's left to be gained in the moment by moment celebration of life. By Deborah Peabody"
