To Our Beautiful Mum,
“Little did we know that morning that 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 peaceful memories, your love is still our guide,
And though 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.”
Thanks for being our wonderful Mum. We love you and we will miss you forever!
Love Vicki, Connie, Frank & Gabriella

Nick Arrigo
To my darling Cathy,
“I still say I Love You,
But now there’s no reply.
I always feel your presence
As if you never left my side.
I remember your comforting voice.
Now there’s not a sound.
Only echoes from the past
Follow me around.
You’re always by my side,
But I can’t hold your hand.
The reason why God took you
I find hard to understand.
The days seem much shorter.
Dark nights just linger on.
Dreams turn into nightmares
When the one you love is gone.
But real love never fades.
It still burns like the sun.
Although they’re far away,
Those memories go on and on.
Your spirit will never die
It shines like the stars.
I know you’re sleeping in heaven,
But you’re living in my heart.”
Rest In Peace my love. I will love you forever!
Your loving husband Nick
