About
February 28, 2003
"Thank you for all the love you have shown to us during this difficult
time. As a mother, this has to be the worse experience I
will ever have to endure. Our family is grieving the loss of Anthony...
our first born son, a loving brother, devoted husband and a very proud Daddy.
We know that time does not heal all wounds...but we also know that through
your love and support we will once again feel the sun shining in our hearts.
We will be victorious because we know that is what Anthony would expect
from us and we will smile again, because Anthony came into this world and
left this world with a smile on his face. I feel extremely blessed by
all of your acts of love and kindness. A quote from Mark Twain says it
all. "Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind
can see." Thank you from the bottom of my broken heart.

The Broken Chain Prayer

The Broken Chain
We little knew 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 can not 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.
I am not sure who the author is.
Love,
Cousin Kenny
And God Said...................
Leslie Rafaniello Apr 20, 2009
I said, "God, I hurt."
And God said, I know."
I said, "God, I cry a lot."
And God said, "That is why I gave you tears."
I said, "God, I am so depressed."
And God said, "That is why I gave you Sunshine."
I said, "God, life is so hard."
And God said, "That is why I gave you loved ones."
I said, "God, my loved one died."
And God said, "So did mine."
I said, "God, it is such a loss."
And God said, "I saw my son nailed to a cross."
I said, "God, but your loved one lives."
And God said, "So does yours."
I said, "God, where are they now?"
And God said, "Mine is on My right and yours is in the Light."
I said, "God, it hurts."
And God said, "I know."
