"carmela sinatra Relation to Deceased: daughter Mom, I miss you and dad so much. I know you are with God, but my heart breaks when I think of you and dad. I love you both!! The butterfly emerges from its silken shell- Reborn, it arises, no longer bound to earth. Free at last, the butterfly glides to heights unknown before. So do our loved ones find a beautiful release as, earthbound no more, they leave our sight and joyfully rise to a garden of matchless beauty, a place of light and peace. -Evelyn Phillips"
