Well, Grandma it’s Christmastime again and I can’t stop thinking about you and missing you, I remember christmases with you and birthdays. I remember you always having those hard little strawberry candies with the delicious gooey center, and the caramels and always supplying me with plenty! I remember the way you used to hug. What saddens me, is I don’t remember your voice or your face very well, but I remember you. And I miss you daily. I hope you’re happy in heaven and I can’t wait til we meet again. I love you so much.
Vito N DAmbrosio Relation to Deceased: Grandson Grams, oh what to say…You have always been such a sweet, devoted woman. You taught us how to play cards and always made us feel very important (VIP even) When we couldnt sleep you would rub and pat our backs until we fell asleep, what a grams! I wish I would have taken the opportunity to say something to the church about what a wonderful woman you were; I have a feeling everyone already knows! I will miss harrassing you when we were neighbors in Irondequoit and seeing you the few times I get back to rachacha. God bless you and please tell everyone I said hi. Love, Vito N PS: Please remember what I asked you to do when this day came, Im still waiting. xoxoxo 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
Paul J D’Ambrosio Relation to Deceased: Son Ma, You were the rock that held our family together for many years. Your love and devotion to your husband and children, was second to none. You never had a favorite. We were always treated the same. You accepted Bill as one of your own and loved him the same as Vito and I. Our wives were always accepted only as daughters, and you always wanted girls! I guess the best times we had were when we would go on our picnics and outings, they were the best. You protected your flock as JESUS does his. In the later years, you got tired and were ready to go meet Dad and all the family. I will never forget the things that you wrote me when I was in the Military, and I always took your advice. I hope that you knew how much you were loved by me and my family. I never want to say goodby Ma, so I will just say that I will see you in Heaven when my time on earth is finished, until then Ma I pray t
Paul J D’Ambrosio Relation to Deceased: Son Hi Mom, well Christmas has come and gone. This was the first year that I did not get a call from you or see you. I wish that there was a way that I could at least hear your voice. The Memorial that you have on line at least lets me see you at your best. I love you very much, I am very sorry for not seeing you more than I did I miss talking to you. Well Mom I will see you in the here after, good bye for now I hope you got to enjoy the holiday with all your family! As we look back over time We find ourselves wondering ….. Did we remember to thank you enough For all you have done for us? For all the times you were by our sides To help and support us ….. To celebrate our successes To understand our problems And accept our defeats? Or for teaching us by your example, The value of hard work, good judgement, Courage and integrity? We wonder if we ever thanked you For the sacrifices you made. To let us have the very best? And for the simple things Like laughter, smiles and times we shared? If we have forgotten to show our Gratitude enough for all the things you did, We’re thanking you now. And we are hoping you knew all along, How much you meant to us.
Nicole Henderson(D’Ambrosio) Relation to Deceased: Granddaughter My bingo queen, my smoking buddy, my friend and my friend’s friend. Uno attack and Bailey’s Irish Creme with Tommy until 2 am. 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
