Richard J Grieco Relation to Deceased: Friend A friend I will never forget.Very special times together. Just a person that will be missed. 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

John W Bower Relation to Deceased: Long-time friend of Jamie Purpura. I’m so sorry for your loss, Jamie. …to the entire family – you are in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. 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!

Fanny Cusano Relation to Deceased: Neighbor & Good Friend I was very sadden to hear of this today, while in Florida, Ron was a wonderful friend & neighbor. I will miss him dearly. He was always there when I needed him, very caring and thougful. My thoughts & prayers are with Pat and all of her family. My daugthter Karen Petrella in Florida also sends her extended sympathy. Sincerely, Fanny Cusano & Karen Petrella 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
Donald G Howard Relation to Deceased: High School classmate & golfing Buddy My condolences to Ron’s Family. He was a Great man and will not be forgotten! 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
