Marissa A Conroy Relation to Deceased: Best Friend Gabriella, I enjoyed coming over and visiting you while you were sick. I had so much fun with you. I will miss you everyday. From, Marissa 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

Ed & Lori Mattioli Relation to Deceased: Niece Gabby, you brought so much joy to aunt (old) lori and me.i will always remember you running in my back yard jumping in and out of my pool.i miss chasing after you in your house trying to give you the claw,telling your dad to beat me up. ( he never could). we will miss you so much. Little Angels When God calls little children to dwell with Him above. We mortals sometimes question the wisdom of His love. for no heartache compares with the death of one small child, who does so much to make our world seem wonderful and mild. Perhaps God tires of calling the aged to His fold. So He picks a rosebud before it can grow old. God knows how much we need them and so He takes but few, to make the land of Heaven more beautiful to view. Believing this is difficult still somehow me must try. The saddest word mankind know will always be “Goodbye”. So when a child departs we who are left behind, must realize God loves children, Angels are hard to find

Ed & Lori Mattioli Relation to Deceased: Niece Gabby, you brought so much joy to aunt (old) lori and me.i will always remember you running in my back yard jumping in and out of my pool.i miss chasing after you in your house trying to give you the claw,telling your dad to beat me up. ( he never could). we will miss you so much. Little Angels When God calls little children to dwell with Him above. We mortals sometimes question the wisdom of His love. for no heartache compares with the death of one small child, who does so much to make our world seem wonderful and mild. Perhaps God tires of calling the aged to His fold. So He picks a rosebud before it can grow old. God knows how much we need them and so He takes but few, to make the land of Heaven more beautiful to view. Believing this is difficult still somehow me must try. The saddest word mankind know will always be “Goodbye”. So when a child departs we who are left behind, must realize God loves children, Angels are hard to find

Ashley and Jessica Gabriella, We love you so much and miss you and hope you are watching over us happily as the beautiful angel you are. We miss you so much and remember visiting you while you were sick! 🙁 You will always be in hearts…We know you are doing better up there:) you are now not suffering. We have been trying to get through these past few days with getting our minds off of it…but we just can’t seem to get you out of our head but we love you and miss you so much we just can’t!! We love you Gabriella! And were always thinking of you. In our hearts forever and always I think no matter where you stray, That I shall go with you a way. Though you may wander sweeter lands, You will not forget my hands, Nor yet the way I held my head Nor the tremulous things I said. You will still see me, small and white And smiling, in the secret night, And feel my arms about you when The day comes fluttering back again. I think, no matter where you be, You’ll hold me in your memory And keep my image there without me, By telling later loves about me. Dorothy Parker
Anna Maria Bevins Relation to Deceased: Aunt I have so many, but the one I want to share is from the time we went to Marine Land. You wanted to feed the deer even though you knew that Gino and I were afraid. The deer were surrounding us and I was screaming at them and was running away from them. You were not scared and was laughing at us. You loved animals and were always brave. You fed and petted the baluga whale. I love and miss you so much….I will throw a skunk at Mimi for you.

Alana M Although I didn’t spend alot of time with you, I did with your mom. You are loved & missed so much. Heaven is lucky to have an angel like you! Those we love remain with us for love itself lives on, and cherished memories never fade because a loved one’s gone. Those we love can never be more than a thought apart, far as long as there is memory, they’ll live on in the heart.
