I'm so sorry for your loss. Please accept my deepest sympathy. May you find comfort from your memories, as well as God's word the Bible. Why do people we love die? Romans 5:12 says: "That is why, just as through one man (Adam) sin entered into the world and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men because they had all sinned." How loving of God to promise what is found at Revelation 21:4 which says, "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore, the former things have passed away.

I would first like to say thank you to all of those that are present today to bid a farewell to my Dad. It's a farewell as we know it here on Earth, but I am sure there is a huge Welcome Party for him in those wonderful gates of Heaven. To those of you that cannot be here today I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the many phone calls, cards ,Facebook posts, texts, prayers and hugs at my front door. I also thank you for those of you that made donations in Memory of my Father to the Alzheimer's Association. (ALZ.ORG). To the many Physicians and Nurses I met, and spoke to During my Dads illness, all I can say is thank you. Thank you for making my Dad as comfortable as possible, thank you for or words of comfort for my Mom and I and thank you for those Hugs and Phone calls telling me everything will be ok. To my Dearest Mother, who I personally watched on a daily Bases, Taking care of my Dad. Feeding him, Bathing him and taking care of him at almost 100% of his needs while he was at home. At times she would not even be able to catch her own breath, but always told me she was fine. I gave her care givers and still insisted all was fine. She told me it was her duty to help Dad till the end. Thank you Mom for making Dad as comfortable as you did during that difficult time. My Dad although suffered from Dementia and did not know me at times still seemed very sharp in many other things. Which made conversations with him still possible. There is however one thing that sticks out in my mind. He always complained that his feet were cold, even though my Mom would put socks on him. Several weeks before he kept on insisting that his father would come visit him and night putting socks on him. He also told him to make sure his feet stayed warm and that his Father will still visit from time to time Now I would like to thank my Dad. Thank you Dad for making me the Man I am today, for teaching me how to respect my wife, for teaching me how to never raise my voice to my wife and how to treat my wife like she is the Best thing on this Earth. Thank you for showing me how to raise a family with respect and how to love my children. How to never raise my voice to them and how to smile all the time. Thank you for giving us a comfortable memorable life. Say hi to Granma and Grandpa for me. ALZHEIMERS REQUESTDo not ask me to rememberDo not try to make me understandLet me rest and know you're with meKiss my cheek and hold my hand.I am confused beyond your conceptI'm sad and sick and lostAll I know is that I need youTo be with me at all cost.Do not lose your patience with meDo not scold or curse or cryI can't help the way I'm actingI can't be different tho' I try.Just remember that I need youThat the best of me is gonePlease don't fail to stand beside meLove me till my life is gone.

My condolences goes out to the Caragiulo family. During this time of great sorrow I hope you find comfort in God's promise for the future found at John 5:28,29 which assures us "the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his (Jesus) voice and come out. " It's my sincere hope that you find comfort in this promise now and in the days ahead.

Our prayers are with your family. I never met Marino but enjoyed each of you speaking about him and sharing your tender thoughts. His legacy lives within all of you. God Bless
