Mid morning approx. 11AM . Another one of these days wher I miss you so very much and wish , just wish you were here . Chloe is taking a ride with me in about an hour to our house to drop off several items and pick some up
Later this evening , going out with Mikey , Melissa, Lexi and Kaden for Melissa’s birthday . Every way I look and see, look and see , I see you today . Miss you so very much . Today is no different than any other day
Next week , little by little , I am going to start working on discarding your prescription medicine . There are specific procedures that need to be followed for proper discard . Dr. Laman took me off Metformin , so I need to discard them also . Just got a 3 month supply in the mail the other day . Before discarding , I’ll see if Chris , Patricia , Mikey or Mike use the same prescription medication as you to save them several dollar$ .
I am sure you do not need your medicine any more as you should be free of pain in Heaven .
I will give Melissa her Birthday card today and Santina’s birthday card tomorrow . .

Love you ery much and miss you so so very much ! . I am still waiting for a Sign from you of your presence . Please , please !

Loving you Forever and ever and always !

Good morning , my love . Miss you and love you very much .
Today , Chris and Chrissy are sitting for Gianna as tomorrow is Santina’s birthday . She comes in rearing to go . So full of boundless activity . God Bless her .

Jessica, Hector, Patricia, Mike, Kylie, Michael and Cheyenne left already to drive to Ft. Meyers to visit Mikes father . Pray for a safe trip there and back . And a successful visit . Kylie ‘s first long trip in the car .
Lord knows how much I miss you and love you very much . It is very difficult waking up every day without you by my side and doing all the thinks we did do together unable to do so.
I do not think I could ever get used to living without you ; it will just be pain and more pain each and every day .
You know I will never forget you . Never forget your smile and doing things Together each and every day .
One of these days we will be joined together . And that will make me very happy as we will be together forever and ever and Always. .

Today was a fairly decent day for us . First of all , I received a telephone call from our financial advisor that the errors on our account has been fixed and should be back to normal within the next several days . This is a big burden off our shoulders .

Next , Patricia called about 3 PM that UPS just delivered a small box outside our front door . I went back to get it . She and Mike brought us a beautiful picture frame
With the photo being you and I holding hands on your hospital bed before God brought you to Heaven . It a beautiful portrait and I I’ll have it hung next to your picture of you at Mikey wedding . Will compliment one another most beautifully !.

All in all , I miss you very much and love you so very much . I do not think anyone knows how much I love you and miss you. They can imagine ; but I do not think they can feel it .
No on knows how much I love you and will never , ever forget you . I will never forget all of our good times ; when we were single , when we were married , our honeymoon , the birth of Patricia , building of our home in Long Island , the birth of Christopher , relocating to Florida, How can we forget our great vacations upstate New York with our friends. , Perry’s, and of courses, our time share in Kissimmee, building our home in Florida , selling it in 1 year , and then building our second home in Florida , the birth of Mikey , the birth of our grandchildren , our children’s marriages , the birth of our great grandchildren , the flood in our home ! So many memories . Bu all in all , we had a great life . . It’s a shame it had to be cut short by all your illnesses . But God took you to heaven to rid you of all your aches and pains . Love you , love you , love you forever and ever and always I could never be happy in full until you and i are joined together again as one .

Good morning , sweetheart . Love you And hope that you are feeling well today . I slept with your blanket that Patricia gave me ; Jessica did a great job of screening your photo on the blanket . I slept with it last evening as I will do every evening . It felt wonderful as if you were right next to me ; it gave me such a good feeling .
I still sit back and wonder ..why ; , why did God take you from me . From all of us in our family snd cadre of friends .
I am going to be honest and tell you the truth that I have not been happy with God from taking you , but I stayed up last evening and gave the situation alot of thought .
With your illnesses ; Gid took you from us surrounded by our 3 children and myself . You were held tight , just as you were loved ! The way God took you was much better than other ways of passing ..in your sleep, at the dinner table, while we were driving , on the computer, watching TV I love you so very much and always will , and I will let God know in a private way today that I am sorry for rebuking him and pray that he accepts me back into his fold .

I love you so much and will continue to never ever forget you ! The main happiness I can achieve is when I join you ..Forever in Paradise

By the way , when I stopped at the house , Javier was cutting the grass . He asked me how I was feeling , and said he will always pray fir you

Good evening , my darling Anne . Quite a bit of inner stress today as I entered our home with Chloe and looked around for you on the couch , computer room and our bedroom . This is like one big nightmare to me regarding your passing into heaven. I feel as if you are out shopping with Jessica or Patricia , or even with Brooke getting a hair cut or getting your nails done . Maybe even a pedicure . I miss you so very much and I cannot imagine this happening .

Visited Patricia today for a while and she was babysitting fir Kylie . Kylie always smiles and laughs when she sees me . I feel that she sees you sitting next to me and is smiling at both of us .
God , I miss you so much . So much . So much.! And I love you so much !
After leaving Patricia’s house, I went to Chris snd Chrissy and Gianna was there . She smiles and laughs when she sees me . !

She must see you standing next to me and smiles at us. ! I am so positive of this .
Patricia brought me a beautiful , soft thin black blanket and Jessica monogrammed your photograph on it . So beautiful ; I will sleep with it every night ! Love it ; it is so beautiful ! Just like you !
Pleasant dreams , sleep tight with no pains, no medications, and no Walker ! Love you forever and ever

Good morning , my Anne . I love you so very much and miss you very, very much .
Woke up this morning to a very odd situation . When you passed on to Heaven and left us , I contacted our retirement company and requested they close out your retirement earnings account . This morning , I discovered they cancelled out my account . I have a supervisor working on it with the hope that they can reverse the process . Please guide her , Thank you ! . One thing after another .

This afternoon , Chloe is coming to the house with me to take care of some clothes in the washer pick up the mail . Then I am going to visit Patricia and Kylie ; as she is Kylie sitting . This evening , Chris and Chrissy are Gianna sitting for several hours . So , you and I are getting the best of both worlds seeing both Gianna and Kylie on the same day ! Fantastic !
You know I love you and miss you so very much ! Whenever I go into our house , I always feel so odd ... I am looking to see if you are sitting on the couch watching The Closer , or Matlock, , or Rissoli and Isles , or Beat Bobby Flay or our best ...General Hospital ! I know you are watching all of these programs on Heaven Cable ! Or in your computer room playing your special games !
I love you And miss you so very much ! If you were here , you would be able to keep me calm and subdued with all these occurring issues .
You know I will never forget you ,Every morning and every evening I will write you with the hope of seeing you and loving your. !
Loving you forever and ever and always !

Good evening , my dearest Anne . I love you so so much and still am having a difficult time living without you .,I think of you morning , afternoon snd evening . All of the time .
Next week , I will be seeking some individual and possible group counseling with Hospice to help me deal with my loss of you! Both Jessica and Dr. Laman recommend Hospice .

Tomorrow, I am going to spend several hours with Patricia while she is sitting Kylie !

I have been staying with Chris abd Chrissy and the family since you left me . At some point in time , I’m going to try to stay by Mikey and Patricia . On occasion . All our children and grandchildren and even Gianna and Kylie have been so cordial to me and accommodating .
I have not been taking care of the lawn well and it is starting to turn a bit brown . I’m calling Turner Pest Control regarding their lawn services and see their fees and what services they offer .
Please rest and I will talk with you in the morning . Love you , Love you , Love you . I will never forget you

Good morning , my love . Miss you so., so much and hope that you are free of pain and do not use your walker for getting around . I’m sure your blood sugar, breathing , and A1C are perfect .
I wish I was able to see you to hold you , hug you , and tell you how much I love you .
Went with Chris this morning to Motor Vehicle by the Government Center and picked up an extra blue placard for the front windshield in my name in case I require it . I also got a copy of the registration for our 2020 Palisade that I misplaced . Lady who take care of us was very smart., efficient snd scanned my handicapped letter from Dr. Mark for my lifetime .
Later today , I’m going with Mikey to his back doctor in Tampa as he is unable to drive back ,
Love you so much snd miss you so much ! I will never , ever , ever forget you Love you

Sometimes I think we should have never retired ! It seems that Retirement =Ailments . Working kept us going and going snd going like you were the Energizer Bunny Rabbit and I was Mr. NY Knick

Sweetheart ; everyone knows how much I love you . You are always on my mind .,I can’t stop thinking about you ,. I cannot understand whyGod took you away from our family so soon . So soon , as you could not have enjoyed the beautiful life and laughter that Gianna and Kylie can provide . They both are growing up so quickly and are picking up your traits ; from enjoying snacks to putting their fingers in their mouth . God Bless our Babies
Today, Jessica met me at our house . She arrived several minutes before I.,As I walked in , Jessica was holding up something beautiful ! It was the Rosary Beads that we have been searching several months to locate . Jessica laid them on the bed in perfect fashion . We will place them back on the wall this weekend . Also in the crate was a beautiful small teddy bear ! Warms my heart ! Little by little we are looking at individual rooms throughout the house .
Love you Very much ! Love you All the time.
Can’t wait until I can be with you forever and ever !! Good night ! Love you forever and ever and always

Nan, yesterday was a month you took that last breath at 8:45pm. That hardest thing to watch because you were everything to us. I know your looking down on all of us saying “stop crying and think of the happy times with me.” You always knew how to fix everything and tell everyone how things go, whether anyone liked it or not. It was Nana’a way or no way. I love you so much Nana. Know one can ever take that place in my heart away that you hold so tight. I love you so much nana

Next , pick up my medicine at Walmart . Next was the post office . After that , I needed to go to AT&T . There , you pay behind do in paid a little less than month . Next months Bill will tell the tale.

Jessica and I get to the house and there is a huge stain in front of the fireplace ceiling . Mike sent a man down right away . It was a leak around the chimney , the man patched it it works .

The one great thing is Jessica found the rosarybeads !

I love you and miss you very much . Tomorrow , chris and I need to go to motor vehicle as our registration is missing !!!

Mommy,
I tried to write this yesterday but started to cry my eyes out. Yesterday 1 month ago at 8:45pm you left us at peace holding Dad,Trisha,Chris and my hand. We all kissed you and said we loved you. Different times of the day it hits me hard but I think of the great times we all had together. I know you are watching over us and guiding us through everything. I want you to know that I will make you proud each and everyday. Kaden sleeps with one of your bears ever night and make sure you have your own blanket. We are all making sure dad is ok. We miss you so much and never forget you!!
Love always
Mikey,Melissa,Lexi,Kaden and Riley

Sweetheart , very difficult day today ! Had my follow up appointment with Dr. Laman today .! She took care of me personally and we cried and cried for a half hour . She loved you so very much and she did say that my A1C is 4.1, very low . Start eating ! She took away my Metformin . Hooray . ! All bloodwork was good ! She and her children loved you so much ! Just like me !

After Dr. Laman , I stopped to see Jessica and Kylie . The I had to go to Chase Bznk to have Dimitri notarize forms. Then the bad stuff started. Yes, bad stuff!!

Turning from Ridge to Little , I was in the extreme left lane . Upon turning on to Little , a person in a motorized wheelchair was crossing Little and did not slow down or stop when they reached the middle of the intersection .,To avoid hitting the person. , I slowed my turn snd moved a bit to the right but stayed in my kzne . Otherwise sounds and noises. Or the car would stop on its own . None of these things happened which means I stayed in my lane . Little collision with the tight front side of our car with a Whitney’s fish truck . Our fender and front light damaged , he had a piece of piping bent . Off tomorrow to Ed Morse to drop off the car and get the rental . After that ,to AT&T about the bill . After that to the post office to mail cards and then to our house to do some organizing with Jessica and Kylie . Busy day ahead !

Love you so very much ; more than anything in the entire world ! Love you and will never forget youGodvBless you Love you Love you

This weekend , there was a big event at Tampa Stadium ( RJ) titled Wrestlemania .

Brings back great memories of when we coached in West Pasco and the kids played soccer there . We were devout Tampa BayRowdies fans and for many years , attended all the home games . Those were great times , wonderful times , great memories ! We made lifelong friends , and we developed fond relationships .
Memories Loved them !

Love you and will always miss you ! I will never , ever forget you !

Good morning , sweetheart . Whomever says that losing a loved one, especially your husband or wife ; the healing process gets easier as time rolls on ,,,; well , this is not the case .
Actually ; it gets more and more difficult . Very difficult .I miss you more and more each day , and each day life is becoming more difficult to face . I miss you more and more each day . I miss waking up together , eating together , planning the day together, doing things together , and bringing things to closure together .
Here I’ll share with you my plan for us for the day : Appointment with Dr.,Laman to read bloodwork , stop snd say hello to Jessica and Kiley, appointment with Dimitri at Chase to notarize forms , post office to mail Thank you cards and several odds and ends to take care of .
Like I said , I wish the days will get easier to function with . Love you , miss you very much , and can’t wait until we are together again forever . I can never , ever forget you

Good evening , my sweetheart Anne . You do not know how much I miss you . It’s very difficult for me to accomplish anything as I miss you so much .
Today , the weather was rainy ; on and off . On this type of day ; you would stay in your pajamas , watch Lifetime television programs all day long and drink coffee and eat snacks the entire day . No need to cook . I would join you in this endeavor .
I was in a very somber , mellow mood as I had you on my mind the entire day .
I was supposed to go to Patricia’s house today snd then go to dinner with her and Mike . With the weather as it was ; Patricia suggested I not drive . Therefore , I am going out to eat with Patricia and Mike . on Tuesday or Thursday evening .
Chris and Chrissy suggested I go with them out to eat . I was content to just stay put, defrost some sauce and make myself a dish of macaroni . .
As I let you know every day , life has been very hard for me without you . I don’t sleep much ; when I do , I wake up every hour. I do not miss the 3:15 AM wake up time . .
I am not happy at this time with God for taking you away from me . If I was more aware of this blood clot issue, , I would have suggested you not go through with this procedure and let nature take its course . Our living room would be leveled off with cement , wooden flooring would be put down and hopefully , you could be enjoying the fruits of your design .
I love snd miss you ever so much ! I will never , ever forget you .
I am going to share with our lawyer in our updated will that i would want the same celebration you had , and then join our ashes in a 3rd urn for our ashes to be together forever .
Love you and until we are joined forever

Good morning , sweetheart . Miss you so very much and will always, always love you
One issue that I could use your help with is I am getting both angry and nasty very easily as I am angry at God for taking you away from me , mad and angry at people for the smallest reason , and wanting to argue and become argument with others for the slightest incident . Just the other day , I argued and cursed with several Customer Service Reps from companies we deal with . Usually , if there was an issue to be dealt with , you and I discussed it and came to a decision .
Right now, I have no one to lean on . Our children and grandchildren have their own families to support. Maybe I should go in a room , shut the door and light , and speak with you . I am at the point where I get mad at the slightest issue and can get in serious trouble if I don’t tone it down .
Thank you and I Love you , will always love you , and will never ever forget you ..Hopefully, This will all end one day when we are together again ;. Forever

Sweetheart , one of the issues I have been dealing with is Your Inner Thought and the word “ Why “

In my bureau, there are all the Birthday cards and Anniversary Cards written and sealed with the money inside all in order according to the celebration day .
It makes me think ....”Did you know something and did not share it with me “ or share with any of our children or grandchildren ?
I guess we will never know the answer to that question .
You always brought the cards in advance for the month and made them out as needed . But both March and April cards were made out already ??

Last Sunday , Easter Sunday , our get together was organized by the family and was beautiful ! The gathering , the food , the good conversation , the activities .. they were all great . My favorite was everyone being there , our family , all together ....eating , conversing . It was wonderful . I tasted a bit of everything ; my foot suffered a bit throughout the week . But it was worth it as everyone put time and effort into preparation .

Love you and miss you so very much . Today , I get to visit with Gianna and stop by Patricia and Mike ! Love you

Good night , my sweet Anne . God only knows how much I miss you snd love you ! You were and still are my everything ! I miss doing all of our daily tasks together . How I wish that this is one big nightmare , and I can wake up to this like this nightmare never happened !
Daily life is no longer fun for me as even if I find things to do, it’s just not the same without you with me by my side .Tomorrow, Sunday, Gianna is spending the day with Chris snd Chrissy . She is on the go snd does not want baby food anymore . Table food only ..
Then , in early afternoon I am going to visit with with Patricia , Mike snd the doggies .
Have a busy week to start off with !

Monday..appointment with Dr. Laman to read my bloodwork , Dimitri at Chase has to notarize several forms and then post office to mail out thank you cards .

Tuesday... with Jessica to organize our bedroom and hers a bit .

Wednesday...I will be taking Mikey for a procedure on his. Back .

Thursday or Friday .. your ash remains should be arriving . Busy week !
I love you and miss you so much . Whomever said it gets a bit easier in time ; I disagree . I will always love You and never forget you

Good morning , sweetheart ! Chris’ tattoo looks so beautiful in your honor .
I think you know you visited me during the night ; with 6 Signs on the the first month anniversary of your moving on to a better place ; free of pain and medication .
Each time I woke up , I felt as if we were sleeping in our bedroom ; with the initial appearance of our bedroom . Each time I reached over , the initial touch was your body, not couch . On one occasion of waking , you were lying on the other couch with your feet resting on the small sofa. No socks on as usual ; you said you just got up to go to the bathroom , I rolled over as usual , so you decided to sleep there .
The 3:15 wake up was a bit realistic . You were lying on the couch next to me snd asked me quietly where I was going . I responded usually the bachaus ( bathroom in Italian ) and you responded with your normal response of .. don’t forget to flush ! When I returned I kissed you on the cheek , said I love you and went back to sleep . All of this is not a figment of my imagination . It was real ; you were there or I was visiting you on the other side . I would love to see this visit happen on more occasions .
There are 6 bottles of water in the refrigerator; just as you always requested . You didn’t ask for one .
Love you with all my ; forever and ever and always . I cannot ever forget you and never, ever will . God Bless you !

Good morning Mom. I know you have already seen it since you are always watching above us but I wanted to show you what I can done in your memory on your one month passing. It looks very nice but it was so emotional getting it done. I miss and love you so much. There is days that I want to pick up the phone and call you for advice or just to hear your voice again. Then it hits me I can’t. Still so hard but I know you are at peace and not suffering anymore. I love you mom.

Good evening , my sweetheart Anne., I keep saying that each day is becoming increasingly difficult to make it without you . I feel a large hole, an emptiness inside of me . Remember , I will never , ever forget you . I will remember you until the day I join you . Being without you is very different ; different in the sense of where is my Anne , grocery shopping with one of the kids, you went for an ice cream with the kids and you will be back later , went out to get your hair or nails done .,
Eventually , I have to face it that physically , I am dreaming a thought . Spiritually , you are always with me
I can never forget you , I can never forget you , I can never forget you ..I will never ever forget you .You always were , are . And will continue to be my everything forever . No one can ever take this away from me and no one ever will Love you Love you

Very difficult day for all of us . We are trying to get through the day : specifically past 8:45 PM.' I am eating a little right now , then I am going to sit outside and watch for a cardinal ; watch the sky ; for any message from you ! Please , send a message
I took a ride to the house with Chloe to print up a few forms and a few items . Being in the computer room sent chills thru me constantly like your presence was there with us
I will never , ever forget you . Our daily agenda , good discussions , meals together , visiting our children , spouses, grandkids , spouses and great grandchildren was one of our joys ! Specifically yours ! You always had me check my phone calendar for the daily agenda . When your phone or mine rang and on the other end you could hear , “ What are you doing today”...we knew the agenda was going to change . But we loved it as it always for our grandchildren !
Like I said before “I Will Never Forget You”. “Never “.
Please visit me or give me a sign at 8:;45 PM of your presence ! Love you

Tonight at 845pm 4 weeks ago you took your last breathe with dad, chris, mikey and myself holding your hand. We kissed you goodbye and said we love you and will never forget you. That stands true always mom. I wish we knew then what we know now. We would have fought to see you on that Saturday when we all talked to you. We are all doing our best to get by without you with us physically. We know you are watching over all of us and guiding us. I know you are in the skies above me as I sit here and write this. I hope you see my prayer garden that I go to at least once a day. Dad will be ok. I love you mom and miss you so very much. Rest peacefully please. Love you.

Good morning, sweetheart !. Today is going to be another tough day in our continual realm of sadness without you .Today marks 4 full Fridays ( 1 month) since your passing and leaving us . We all miss you very much , and even though you are in heaven , one can only hope that you are free of pain., and walking without the aid of a a Walker
Today , I just have to call our banker at Chase , go visit him to get a form notarized . Then , I do need to review quite a bit of completed forms from the state, various insurance companies , and other companies to put us at ease knowing they are correct . Thank you cards are done ..Monday after I go to Dr.Laman to review my bloodwork, I’ll stop at the post office to mail them .
Our ritual after bloodwork / bloodwork review has always been breakfast , but I still don’t have the the feel to go out to eat alone without you .. someday, sometime !
I tell you each and every day how much I miss you and my love for you grows more and more each of these days . Love you , love you , love you Thank. You ever so much for giving us such a beautiful family .

Today , marked your 71st Birthday It Was a difficult day to handle . Everyone ,; and I mean everyone we know loves you so much ! I am not using the acronym loved , as that is in the past . I use the word loves; ; since you are still and will always be with us
Seventy one years of age is a wonderful milestone to reach ! All your birthdays will be spent with our Lord in Heaven
It was not easy to assemble everyone together today to take them out to eat ; therefore , everyone sung Happy Birthday to you in their own homes . What a way to honor and love Nana Anne, Grandma Anne, Mom , Aunt Anne, Anne and the “ the Best the world has known “

How I wish I could awake at my usual 3:15AM time and see you sitting next to me and LOL letting me hug you , hold you snd tell you how much I love you .
As time and the days move on , it is going to be increasingly difficult to function without you by my side . We did everything together ; everything .....grocery shopping , car washing , picking up medicine, visiting the children or grandchildren , faxing a letter , going to UPS offices . Such a great life when a wife and husband do everything together . It means so much It did to me !
Here is something you can be very proud of ; all the grand kids are doing well in school ..Brooke, Chloe, Tyna, , Lexi , Kaden and Alana ! This is so . .. I am still thinking about you and how much I love you ! I’m going to try to get some sleep ; you too ! Love you ! Forever and ever and always !

Happy Birthday Mommy. God I miss and love you so much. I still some days think this is a nightmare and you are going to be sitting on your couch when I come over. This past month has been the worse month of my life. All I want is to have 5 more minutes with you. I know you are up in heaven watching over is everyday. I know today you would be going around with dad to all the places that give you free stuff on your birthday. Dad would always call and tell me all the places you guys went that day to get mom
Her free stuff. This is still so painful writing and talking about. I miss you so much mom. I press the bear 3 times a day the kids got me to hear you say I love you. I know it’s only your voice but I will do that the rest of my life. I love you mom forever and ever. Happy Birthday mom.

Happy Birthday my Sweetheart in Heaven ! Today is your 71st Birthday . The entire family celebrated your birthday this past Sunday after dinner with a balloon send off with an attached nite . Simply beautiful ceremony . Even Gianna and Kiley had a balloon .
I hope you are enjoying your birthday party in heaven ordering chicken Parmiagiana and having the waiter pack it up after several bites. I ate your salad of course . Then you ordered a dessert with whipped cream and some ice cream on the side . That you did eat most of . You asked the waitress to pack it up ! LOL!

Then , while we finished at Argentos and were leaving , you stopped and seen your friend at the pastry section and began to order a sfigiatelle and a cannoli to take home ; you changed it to a dozen ; for visitors .
In the morning we went to Rams for breakfast . Everyone sang “ Happy Birthday to anne ” As you had your French Toast and sausage links. Beautiful !

I just want to let you know that I love you so much and will never, ever forget you . How can I when our love fir one another was so deep! .. Beautiful postings by Mikey, Patricia, Jessica. and Brooke ; several others on Facebook . Everyone remembers you ; no one, absolutely no one , will ever forget you ! . I for one just want to see you , hold you one more time and tell you how much I love you . You left our world with me hugging you surrounded by all of our children . That’s a beautiful memory of a final hug . Even though you were ill , that last hug was Beautiful . I will always remember that final hug till the day I die . I have always believed in the afterlife ; I mentioned this on numerous occasions to you . And I will see you soon ! Love you always . You cannot ever imagine how much I LOVE YOU

Happy Birthday Mom! I love and miss you so much everyday. I know you are in a better place but I would rather have you here with all of us. We were all together on Easter at your house and celebrated your birthday. We all had a Happy Birthday balloon with a special message we wrote to you. We sang Happy Birthday to you and released them all together. I hope they reached you in heaven and were able to read them. We are all taking care of dad and each other. Even though you are not with us physically, I know you are watching over all of us and still guiding us along the way. Happy Birthday mom, I love you.

I look at your beautiful photos on the Dignity website ; along with other photos of you ..... our wedding , Patricia’s wedding , Mikey’s wedding , Chris wedding. Michael’s wedding , Jessica’s wedding among others and it makes me feel how fortunate I was to be married all these years to such a beautiful person ; both inside and out
Not to Repeat myself , but the first day I met you ; I pronounced that I was going to marry you . At 16 years old , sounded kind of odd ; but it was true ! I was not going to lose you . I made sure if it .
It was a bit tough ; waiting until I graduated college before we got married , but it was so important back in the day to get your education . Beautiful wedding , 3 great children , along with their spouses . Nine grandchildren ; along with some spouses . And 3 great grandchikdren . I know everyone says that God has a plan for each of us , but my utopia would have been for both of us to live together until 100 , and pass away peacefully together . That was our key word ..together!
Now today you are turning 71; May God Bless you . Looking down from heaven , you should be so overwhelmed at the family you created
Like I say each evening ; I love you , will always love you, and can’t stop Loving you
Good night and Happy Birthday in Heaven and in our hearts with great memories

Good afternoon , sweetheart ! Spent most of the afternoon writing about half of our thank you cards and procuring addresses . I plan on completing the other half between tomorrow and Friday . I’ll take them to the Post Office on Monday for mailing.
This morning I met Brandy at our house 9:30 to let her in to start cleaning . I had some odds and ends to do then I went to Jessica’s home . I returned to Chris’ and began working on the Thank You Cards . Took about 4 hours as I wanted them to be perfect and of course ; had to research addresses ! Gets you brain fried .

Tomorrow is your Big Day..you will be turning 71 years of age . I plan on visiting Jessica , Patricia , and Mikey to discuss all good fun things about you and sing Happy Birthday to you !
Love you so very much !. Please , it’s getting increasingly difficult living without you each and every day ! I love you so very much and always will!

I You so very much ; words cannot explain . The days are getting more and more difficult for me to navigate and try to accomplish what I plan . I miss you so very much, after all, you and I did everything together . Eat, snack, drive, , nap, sleep , watch TV, etc.
I still do not know and will never understand why God took you away from me. I begged, I pleaded, but nothing worked .
Your children , grandchildren and great grandchildren all want to know why also !

Tomorrow, while Brandy is cleaning , I am going to begin the organization of the shrine to you on our dining room table with some items that we selected from your service . God bless you , love you forever and ever

Stopped by Jessica today for a bit to visit . As you can see , Kylie is a mini Hector ! She looks like him so much and she plays with your plastic laminated picture and smiles . God bless
Gianna..you cannot keep that child down . She is like the energizer battery that goes and goes !
Didn’t get a chance to make visits today as I was completing the last of the telephone calls . I love you so so much , but this work with companies and businesses is tough. ! Please give me some guidance and direction
Tomorrow, I have a semi full plan. I have to go meet with Brandy to pay her $ as she is cleaning tomorrow . Then to Jess to see her for a few . Then stop by Mikey at work for a few . Then. Back to the house to pick up the mail . Then , off to Chris house to work on Thank You cards. Sooooooo many , as sooooooooooo many people loved You ! Talking about , I love you so much ! Words cannot express how much I love you ! It’s getting more and more difficult to live without you !

I received a phone call from Meadowlawn Funeral that all your ashes are in ; safe and secured in their safe .

By the end of next week , your urn should be in and she will call me when it arrives . I am so excited to have a piece of you with me at all times .
Lorraine Hinkley from Meadowlawn sent some of your ashes to their glass blowing place in California to weave the ashes into the beautiful glass . This glass will be placed on a lighted base .

My plan .. left side dining room table ; glass orb .. center is your ashes . Rear part of table sign in book . Your shrine will be beautiful !

Try to let me know if you would like it set up differently !

Love you. Love you. Love you

Our attorney from the slip and fall case’s paralegal contacted me today asking about both yours and my health . I gave her the rather devastating news and she was so sad , offering her condolences .

I told her that my kids and grandkids keep me going right now; but the 2 little ones ; Kylie and Gianna are my lifesaver !!
Our children are the base , along with their spouses . The grandchildren and spouses are the mid range support tier . The 2 little ones with their smiles .

In visiting both Patricia and Mikey last evening , a topic we discussed that you cared for and lived for was your visitation by the red cardinals in our back yard . You loved to watch them perch on the small tree in the lot behind our home.
A friend of Mikey constructed a beautiful absolutely beautiful bird house with an attached pole. The pole is square approx. 6 feet in height abd has a birdhouse with entrance attached . Absolutely beautiful . Mikey’s friend also painted it blue; one of your preferred color choices . With a beautiful stripe. Next trip over, Mikey , Melissa and the children will bring it over, and install it.
In this way , cardinals can visit our home daily .and say hello to you

Good morning , my dearest Angel . I have been up since 4AM. At furst wrote you a message on the Dignity website ; now I am writing another .
When we had your celebration of life at Meadowlawn , there were oh so many people who paid their respects to you . This shows how much you were loved by family, friends, and neighbors . Your celebration was very unique for basically (2) reasons .
A. The unique set up of the chairs ..Chairs were not set up like Church ; rather round tables with chairs to encourage family discussion At furst , I was not for it as both you and I were discouraged when guests speak at life’s celebrations; but yours was perfect Voice tones except fir crying were professional .SuperPerfect !
B. Our preened plan included a stipend for hot snd cold beverages , hand held mini desserts, small sandwiches etc.I was not a big fan of this at the onset , but went along with it . On one side of the glass people were crying and on the other , eating . If my head was not in a fog, I would have adjusted the situation accordingly., It did satisfy a need at the celebration. But overall , it went extremely well . You had to be smiling as you loved your snacks accordingly.
Father Milikhali gave a nice brief talk , followed by many family members oration . This was beautiful , The entire celebration to honor you was great .
I would like to leave off this morning saying I love you , love you , and love you so very much . You are my everything and I want to hold and hug you so very much .
The days are becoming increasingly difficult for me to make it without you ! Love you, love you Love you Forever .

Good morning sweetheart. It’s about 4 AM and I am unable to sleep . Keep thinking about you and how much I miss you . I am still awaiting that sign from you that you are eternally with me. I know you are and everyone tells me you are , but I am searching , looking and hoping for that sign . Maybe today sometime , maybe tomorrow or the next day ..., but please show me that sign !
Love you , miss you more than anything else in this entire world !
As I allude to esch and every day ; it’s becoming increasingly difficult each and every day for me to move on without you . Love you so much, so much !

I always think back to our friend Tulio and how he always said that we would never last as boyfriend / girlfriend as I was more concerned about athletics ! Then when we got engaged, he said the same thing .
Once we got married ; he said Anne / Al , I don’t know many! Then after each year of marriage , he mellowed about us ! What a guy ! Great friend , we love him so much . And here we are ; in June , we will be married 49 years . Next year will be the Big 50.
I will always love you I can’t stop loving you . I will not ever stop loving you . You are with me forever. And ever. And always ! And by the way , I love you !

Good evening , my dearest angel ! . I always start my evening letter before midnite and begin to cry ,and cry some more and never finish until after midnight .Beautiful letters written by both Brooke and Kaden ! . They bring tears to my eyes. ., I too , just as much as you , loved our Friday breakfasts at Dennys. Kaden , Michael , you and I. We had great discussions !
Today was a difficult day for me ! I love you more than anyone could imagine . I started to make out a list of the many thank you cards that we need to send out to family, friends and neighbors .Then, I made my usual telephone calls. I went to our house and it appeared that you got our football out of the tree and put it behind our door. And the last of the 4 balloons stuck in the tree took off . I made the mistake of entering our home alone to empty the dishwasher and I was waiting to hear you waking with your cart , or calling me to pick up an Amazon order slip ,or what should we eat for supper . But all I did was cry, cry snd cry some more !Cry, because I love you sooooo much , but also cry as I miss you so very much and want to see you !
I went back to Chris and Chrissys’s home and then left to take Chloe to work and paid Patricia a visit; Mike was stuck with work and a needed truck repair so I did not see him ! Off to Mikey and Melissa’s home and visited with Mikey, Melissa and Kaden ! Lexi was at Wendy’s working .
I brought home a salad , chicken and onion ring which I ate when I returned to Chris and Chrissy’s home . While at Mikey’s, we spoke about me getting some needed counseling to deal with our grief . I will try to connect with Hospice
I do need some sort of counseling , as I am having a monumental time of dealing with my loss . You were my everything and it is so difficult for me to handle this . I prefer one on one person to person discussion as compared to group interactions .
I love and miss you so very much . You were my everything ! God, how much I miss you

It took me a while to type this every time I cried at night when I wrote this and I loved when we went to Denny’s and got a moons over my hammey on Friday in 5 th grade and when you worked at cypress and we all surprised you. My favorite time is when you texted me happy birthday and when you use to tell me the office gosipe. It was fun when I skipped class and stayed with you and help do your Arnie’s and talk to the teacher and just watching tv with you I am going to miss you nana say hi to papa and his daughter for me

Brandy will be coming to clean the house this Wednesday . She will be getting the house wonderfully clean for your 71st Birthday Party with our family in Heaven .

I am sure your mom and dad and grandparents along with my parents and grandparents welcomed you to heaven with Open Arms!

Tell them all that I love them all and miss them. Love you so much , love you so much and miss you ! Forever and ever and always was our catch phrase to one another and I will always refer to it . Until We are together again

In your letter you left me , it read please don’t ever forget me as I will never forget you .
I promised to love , honor, obey, and take care of you for the rest of our lives and I always will I will never, ever forget you ! How could I? I held you head with one hand and your body tightly as God took you from us . I will never forget this . Nor will I ever forget the kind nurses who allowed me to lay down next to you .
Just look at the beautiful family you created ! In the posted photograph from yesterday ...there is a snapshot of me holding both Gianna and Kylie ; one on each arm . I requested this . I heard some of the family say why don’t we try this inside . But, I knew that WE could do it . Look at the shirt I am wearing , Whose picture is on it ? YOURS, of course .
You are in the center between Kylie, Gianna and myself . You are still the center of our family snd always will be . You made the photo absolutely beautiful by you being front and center snd giving me the strength to hold the babies !
Today, I am starting to work on a thank you card spreadsheet . Then , taking Chloe to work snd visiting Patricia and Mikey’s families . The days are becoming harder and harder with spells of crying as I love you and miss you so much ! Will always love you snd miss you !
Cannot wait until we are together again...FOREVER !

Mom good morning. It is April 5th my birthday. Just like Easter, this is the first birthday I will not be able to talk to you, hug you, tell you how much I love you. I know if you were here you would be texting all the kids, grandkids to make sure they text or call me for my bday. That’s is just who you were. You never wanted anyone to forget. I love and miss you so much. Last night after we got home from yours and dads house the kids gave me my bday present. All I can say is wow. It was a bear with a shirt on. The shirt has picture on it from my wedding, me and you dancing. And when you press the hand it says I love you on your voice. The kids saved a voicemail from you and was able to put it in the bear. Best present ever in my life. That is something I will always have for the rest of my life. I miss you mom. I would give anything to have one more day, hour, minute, second with you. I love you so much mom.

Oh Nana, as we spent our first holiday without things just didn’t feel the same l. I was sitting on the coach waiting for you to walk around with your walker or yell at me “brookie do this and brookie do that” (of course calling me 7 other names first) We set off balloons with notes attached to them I hope you got mine As days and days go on it doesn’t get easier, I graduate in 61 Days exactly and I turn 18 in 86 days. Although I wish that you were here for those days, I know you’ll be watching over me forever I love you nan sososososo much. Days are starting to fly by i’ve started to lose track. I miss your “remember us text” when I was busy at work. Well off of to school I go nana I love you forever and ever i’ll never forget you

Just wish I could see you one more time❤️

I love you so , so much and miss you so dearly! I feel like you are always sitting next to me so I have several things to share with you

If you remember , every time we went to the dollar store , as we were ready to check out, I always told the cashier that although your sign says “Dollar Tree” , for my wife and I this is the “ $25.00 tree. We always got a chuckle , but it’s the truth. ! Yesterday , this happened to Jessica snd Patricia . You were in their presence and passing the torch !

A beautiful ending to today was Patricia had everyone write something to you on a hole pinched index card . Patricia gave each of us a helium filled birthday balloon with string marked “ Your birthday”. We wrote something to you on the card, put the card up the string and tied it to the balloon . Then we sang Happy Birthday and had a balloon release one at a time . It was beautiful . All flew high and far except for 4. Michael , Mike, Chris, Mikey and Kaden were able to get 1 off the tree branch , then another and another . One left on a high branch . When i go Monday to pick up the mail , I’ll check . I am sure the balloon flew .Our hope is that some balloons are found by our friends and those who know us . Love you love you and miss you so much ! Cant wait to hold you and hug you .

Chris got a most besutiful birthday present from the children this evening . He will tell you all about it !
God bless! Love you, miss you so much as the days are becoming more difficult to deal with without you

Today, Easter Sunday was difficult as not sharing our first Easter Season together since 1965 . Our first not being together married since 1972.
I arrived at our house around 2:45 and put on your favorite music. Opened all the curtains and began taking out all your nice daily dinnerware and silverware in anticipation of the family arrival .
I went into our bedroom snd spoke with you for a half hour . I cried and I am sure you did the same in Heaven .
Patricia received your first sign of your presence this morning as a beautiful cardinal perched in her backyard . I received your second presence sign when I was turning lights on and off in our home ; that the hall lite shut off . . Everyone started to arrive with the foods prepared at home . Our kitchen looked like Christmas Eve . Food was prepared for 121 ; all we needed was 21. This is a Marotta, Martin snd now Rivera trademark !
Michael changed the bulb in the hall and Also repositioned the kitchen clock by placing the clock with the 8:45 PM time next to it . Next, Mike and Michael put up your picture from Mikey’s wedding in the living room . So beautiful Enough tears for a river from everyone !
Everyone ate heartily , even you . I made you a small dish with pulled pork, string bean casserole , a piece of ham , macaroni and cheese and spinach dip . Amazingly delicious ! A non Italiano food day .
Next there was an Easter egg hunt fir the little ones ; Gianna snd Kylie . Made our hearts sink how beautiful this was ! Next for the kids ; Kaden snd Chloe were the winners .
Next was your favorite dinner part of the day ..dessert time . . You would have told Jessica that your sugar was 500. A bunny cake, monkey bread , vanilla cookies, chocolate nut cookies, cherry cheesecake , and other delicious treats .,
As we were locking up forthe evening to leave , Mikey, Kaden snd I saw Sign .#3... 2 red cardinals perched on the small tree. With tears, this ended our day . Love you. God Bless.

No body ever realizes how much your corney celebrations were for everything now that your gone. We did family dinner at the house and I made your spinach dip. Damn nana that spinach is a pain to squeeze squeeze squeeze. I had such a hard time with the damn bread like you always did. Everyone loved the spinach dip... even poppy ate it says it taste just like yours. Nana it’s so hard to go on with out you but I know your spirits and love is with us all.

I loved you , loved you more than anyone else . I worshipped the ground you walked on . I still think constantly how am I going to make it for however long I have left here on this earth without you

Maybe , soon I will see you so I can hug you , kiss you , tell you in person how much I love you .

Crying my eyes out wishing I could hold you , hug you , kiss you one more time . Life is. very difficult for me without you , very difficult !

I try not to lean on our children and grandchildren too much as they have their wives, husbands and children to take care of !
What to do , what to do ; what can I do! Don’t know as all I want is to be with you ! Please try to send me some sign of your presence as it is becoming increasingly difficult for me to go on . Please !

Loving you so much ! Communication snd messages come in so many ways . But of course; through love

Mikey shared a story with us the other day regarding Kaden seeing something at his home .
On his dining toom window, there is a small decal of a beautiful red cardinal next to some Christmas holly . We all know how you love the Christmas Holiday and always shared with us your thoughts on the meaning of the presence of a red cardinal . This has to be some type of message of your love for us and the connection of Mikey and Melissa purchasing this home. .
Was the decal always there or is this a message from you that you will be watching over and loving Kaden. Lexi, Melissa, and Mikey ? Love you always forever and ever . And always

Good morning , sweetheart . Miss you and love you very much ! Last evening was no different as I had on and off sleeping episodes . One in particular was when I woke up at 3:14 AM.
Both pet cats were sitting on the coffee table next to me just staring at me not making a sound. Could this have been the your method of communication ? Just staring at one another back and forth . I called your name several times, but no reply .
I am still waiting fir the sign from you so I can grab you , hug you kiss you . You are always in my thoughts , my prayers . Loving you always , forever and forever !

Good morning , my lovely, beautiful wife . Did not sleep well , as usual . Woke up several times during the night ; continually thinking about you . At My usual spiritual wake up at 3:14 AM, i was looking around for a sign from you hoping your presence could be felt . Maybe tomorrow evening , maybe Chris’ Birthday , maybe April 8th, your birthday. .

Getting thru the day is becoming increasingly difficult : as I miss you so , so much . It’s a wonder that I am able to go on with life without you .
I’ll try my best today with several errands and stops that I need to make .
God Bless you , I love you , will always love you so much . So, so much

Mom I love and miss you so so much. Mom I am writing this because dad thought it was a good idea to share this. Today I was driving to work and had the radio on. There was a older man do an advertisement for an investment company. I heard him say he was blessed to be with his wife of 49 years. Soon as I heard that I started listening in. He went on to say she blessed him with 3 beautiful children, 10 grandkids and 2 great grandkids. I was in total shock. It was everything you and dad have. I am
Not sure why I was even listening to that station but there had to be a reason why. I am not sure what it is. If it’s you telling me I am always with you. I love and miss you so much mom. I still cannot believe you are not with us. It’s still feels like a big nasty nightmare. I know you are not suffering and at peace but god it hurts so much. I have been trying to stay strong for dad and the kids. It’s so hard. Please keep giving me the signs. I love you mom. Rest In Peace. Goodnight.

Good evening my love . I miss you more and more as the days go on . Today marks Day 19 that you are no longer with us in body; where as the Lord took you from us . It is getting more and more difficult each day to go on with out you as I love you so much and miss you so much. .
Tomorrow Thursday, I have an appointment at Lab Corp for bloodwork . Then probably, return to Chris’ and Chrissy’s home for about an hour or so to check our daily account balances .
Next will probably be a trip to our house to pick up the mail . Then , a stopover at Patricia’s to visit and possibly see Kylie as Patricia is baby sitting for several hours . Then off to Goodwill in search for an attaché’ case .
Lastly, off to Mikey’s house for a visit to see Mikey, Melissa, Lexi, and Kaden for dinner .

Spent a good portion of the morning on the telephone, as usual , conducting business with some of the various companies we deal with .
Jessica and Kylie picked me up at noon and we had a very nice lunch at Tonbo’s.

After lunch, we went to Patricia’s home to wish her a Happy Anniversary (!Mike was working ) Nice conversations !
When I got back to Chris’ home, Mikey met us and we had a nice conversation about the children and the high cost$ of automobile insurance .
Now, it’s about 6:30 and I’m just sitting outside Chris and Chrissy’s porch just thinking and reflecting about you and I .
I think I have cried more in these past several weeks than I have in my entire life .

Love you forever and ever snd always

Good morning , sweetheart! As the days move on, I miss you more and more. The only people I feel comfortable being with is our family of children and their spouses, grandchildren and their spouses, and great grandchildren .,
In the AT&T store yesterday, my mind kept on floating away thinking about you . I was fortunate that Chris was with you and I to guide us. making decisions . I am not ready, nor won’t be ready for sometime to be with other people out in public . The store reps name was Dennis who assisted us and he recalled vividly assisting you and I on numerous occasions
O my Lord, how I miss you . ! You recall the Italian story of waking between 3:00 AM and 3:30 AM symbolizes a loved one watching over you . The time of 3:15 AM exactly reveals you can visualize the angel. Prior to your passing, for numerous years, we experienced this phenomena. Since you were taken from me,, I wake at 3:15 AM like clockwork and feel your angelic presence. . How I want to see you !
Love and Kisses

As I was surrounded by our children today ; Patricia, Christopher, And Michael : I kissed you numerous times and asked you to give us a sign that you hear me. Blink your eye, squeeze my hand , let a light bulb or a lamp fall . I could swear you blinked your eye at at us .
This evening , as I was sitting at the table performing my daily financial routine , Suddenly, a light bulb fell to the floor. That was your sign that you always will be with me helping me make the smartest decisions possible in all that I do . This will be so necessary as today I begin required tasks of contacting many businesses that we dealt with during our years together . Please guide me as best as possible and direct me as I will be error free. You managed our books so well and they were fined tuned to a “T”!
I will think of you in everything I do every day, every hour, every minute , every second !
You are my everything ! What would my Anne do in this situation

Yesterday, Thursday, was one of the most difficult days of our lives as we laid you to rest . Father Milakhali told me that you were already in heaven and at peace with no more pain and suffering .
Final kisses were so difficult at your casket as there were many streams of tears . May God Bless you millions of times over . Our family transitioned over to one of your favorite restaurants , Argentos, for a meal in your honor . There was a chair set up next to me for you and I ordered you an ice water to drink , salad with oil and vinegar which you always ate 1-2 forkfuls and gave it to me. I ordered you chicken Marsala with penne and the penne was drenched with Marsala sauce . I gave it to Michael as we both know how he loved your leftovers .
Afterwards , everyone needed to order a dessert as you would . I ordered you a Sfogatiele.
Prior to my brother leaving for the airport , he was so happy with our family . They all meshed very well together sharing thoughts about you ! We discussed all of us meeting up again in the future to mingle, vacation and share stories . We know you would want that .
Loving you alwaysAnd never , ever forgetting you ! Always remembering you in everything I do

I met Anne when our daughters began playing soccer. We coached together The Ladybugs which was Under 10 girls team if I remember correctly. When she coached the Hudson High girls soccer my daughter was on the Ridgewood girls soccer team and there were some intense games. Anne was a great person and it is sad she left this life so young. She has a wonderful family and husband who will always miss her. Stay strong Marotta extended family and know Anne is Always with you.

Michelle Mills Leggiere

March 24, 2021

My most fondest memories, would be 12 and under soccer. Anne was coach to all of us girls. She would pick us up take us to practice. All stuffed in the station wagon. That was 10 years old. When I first met Patricia and her family. I guess I needed outdoor activity. I knew Ann to be everywhere as I grew up even saw and watched over my 4 kids at cypress elementary school, who are all grown now. They knew who she was and what she meant to me. She is an amazing lady and is loved and will be missed, I would see. her here and there even in my adult. Life at stores or restaurants randomly all the time you just never knew where we would meet. Always considered extended family. Til we meet again

When my family first moved to Florida, you lived off Sea Pines Drive and the first family we met. Over the years, you became a second mother to many of us. You drove us around, coached us for many years, yelled at us, made us smile, laugh, yelled some more. We listened, we tuned you out, we heard you and knew you cared. You touched so many lives and will be missed. There won’t be a day that goes by we won’t forget you and the memories we have with you will last forever. Thank you for being a part of my life.

My thoughts and prayers are with Al and his family today. Anne was an amazing person. I met her through working with Al at Hudson Middle School. Anne loved her family and always talked about them. Even though today will be hard it will also be comforting to know Anne is in her forever home in heaven and she will see you all again. Fly high with the Angels Anne. Be at peace.

Anne honey ; I will always love you to my dying day ; I still cannot understand why God took you away from me ! All of our family will miss you so so much ; but Gianna and Kiley will learn from all of us how fantastic you were and how you were the glue who held our great family together . Whether it be a birthday, anniversary. Thanksgiving , , Christmas, New Years, or any family get together !
I ask God again and will ask him everyday ......Why, Why, Why did he take you from us. ? From Me ? We will never know .

I keep on looking next to me and not seeing you there . I’m trying to think you are out shopping with the girls, or in the kitchen cooking , or talking to someone on the telephone. And you will be sitting next to me in a few minutes watching television ! I can only wish . Wish, wish, wish !
Going grocery shopping will be a bit difficult ; and anytime going to a restaurant to eat I will always have a chair set up next to me for you with a plate and ordering you something to eat .This will make me feel good .
Love, please try to give us all , especially me the strength to get thru the next several days as we can honor you well and not cry a River .
Love you ❤️❤️❤️Forever and ever and always ❤️❤️❤️❤️. .

Nan just know I will do everything to make you proud and will do everything to make sure Kylie knows how beautiful and wonderful you are what memories of a lifetime you gave us all.

Mom - me Chrissy and dad just finished watching the movie of all the pictures from your life. It was so hard. We just cried cried and cried and still crying. This past week has been such an emotional roller coaster. I think about all the great memories we shared together. You are such an amazing mother.

I promise I will do my part to make sure our family stays together through everything like you taught us. I am so not looking forward to tomorrow and Thursday.

Good morning my dearest Honey . It becomes increasingly difficult to navigate throughout the day without seeing you next to me . It’s a beautiful thing !
Whether it’s pumping gas , folding our laundry , driving alone for a while , going into Publix, washing the car , and other daily tasks. No matter where I go , no matter what I do, no matter whom I see , we are beside one another since that has been our life for close to 60 years . Our great grand babies, our grandchildren ( and spouses), our children and their spouses, and myself miss you so much ! Time will heal , as the saying goes, but within our family , The healing process will take forever ( however long we are within this life .
So many things I search for daily ..,,you sitting by your computer and calling me to come over , watching the TV together , preparing dinner together , enjoying our evening coffee and snack together , visiting our children and grand babies together . The word Together is synonymous with our daily life.
I miss the smell of French Toast in our home, every day along with grilled mozzarella cheese sandwiches, ,peppers, onions and garlic ( yes, I will not use a lot ) odors permeating throughout the house . Our family will keep all of your daily actions alive in our daily routines as we always think about you in everything we do !
Love You in all that We do ! God Bless!

Hi Nana

This has taken me a few days to write, because each time I try it’s very emotional. You are the heart of our family you kept us so close. You always put your family before anything else. It has been weird not being able to talk to you. I miss our FaceTime calls with Gianna so much. I miss being little and coming over and we would watch general hospital or wheel of fortune. I miss hearing you yell at the coaches when I played sports. I miss the burnt cookies you would make when were young. But most of all nana I just miss being able to see you. You’ve always been there for me when I needed you. You were one of the first people who I told I was pregnant. I remember I was so scared and upset, but you were so excited. It made me feel so much better. You were already talking about a baby shower and hoping it was a girl two minutes later. Malik and I are so grateful Gianna got to experience part of her life with her amazing Nana. I will forever cherish every moment and memory. Gianna will know everything about you nana, I can promise you that. She will know the amazing woman and blessing you were to our families. I love you so much Nana, I know you are watching us from above. Tell big gram I said I love her too. Talk to you soon nana

Good evening , my sweetheart ! Being separated from you is becoming more and more difficult for me ,, but with the help and support of our family , I can move on to tomorrow.
I know you are in Heaven pain free; no more headaches, no more heart issues, no more arthritis in your fingers and your arms, no more lower back pain , no more leg and knee pain . No more using your Walker to move around and moving around without the aid of an electrical cart or scooter ! Heavenly
No more using your breathing machine twice a day , or pricking your finger 3X a day to test your sugar , and no more lab work worrying about your A1C. How I wish I could switch places with you . I would give anything for you , the Mother of our children , the Grandmother of our grandchildren , the Great Grandmother of our Great Grandchildren to live and see them once again .
You can toss away all of your medicine . O, how I wish !
Loving you always ; forever and ever and always !

Good evening once again my Sweetheart as I complete Day 9 without you . I feel so lost Without you !
The support and uplifting that I have been receiving from our children and their families has been so overwhelming and dear to my , I do not know where I would be without any of them .
We all miss you soooooo much and as I look through our photographs over the years ; there exists enough tears to start our own river . It is so dis heartening !
It is so unreal as we look through photos and see how beautiful you were as a teen and still are; even more beautiful !

All the children and their families are caring for me so well and watching over me. All I care about is you ; I miss you so much , so much !
It’s going to be so difficult for me to move on without you .
We always made that beautiful vow to one another that our home will never be sold. ; and it will not . I can’t live there alone ; hopefully, maybe, one of the family members could manage to sell their home and live there. You and I would take care of the cost$! . The house is not a hone without you !
Time for both of us to go to sleep ! I think about you all night long as i only sleep several hours , You !

Aelia Marotta

March 21, 2021

Good morning , my love ! I still cannot understand why God took you from us so soon ! We had our whole retirement in addition to the beautiful interior and exterior renovations to our home you designed to enjoy !!Everything was Sooooooooo Perfect !!!!
We both worked from aged 16 while in school until December 31, 2016. I know that God has a plan ; but ....I cannot understand Why ?

We always started our daily routine together by looking at our calendar and planning out our day!! Whenever an event was mentioned , either you told me to post the event and date on my telephone calendar , or I did or we asked Siri to do so ! But you were 1 in a million ! Your brain remembered whether it was An event by Michael or Cheyenne’s home ,, visiting our precious Kylie or you going shopping with Jessica , visiting oor beautiful Gianna or Santina visiting us , picking up Brooke and taking her to work , seeing Jaison at a concert event , or picking up Chloe or Tyna and taking them to work or picking them up at school or picking up Lexi from school and taking her to work and taking or picking up Kaden from school or our Friday morning breakfasts ! Seeing Gianna and Kylie smile makes me continually think of you ! You remembered every planned event in your mind and ensured I did not forget ! You lived for our children , grandchildren and our great grandchildren ! And of course ; their husbands and wives ! If a planned event needed to be changed to accommodate a family member , Easier Done than Said for you !
Thanks to your guidance , I am still learning how to open and close the refrigerator . You taught me and both Mikey and Chrissy explained the dishwasher to me . With you next to me , I never did these jobs !
Cant get you out of my mind ! Never , never , never ! Love you Soooo much !!!!! I would give just about anything to see you again !!

Love you always !

Aelia Marotta

March 20, 2021

Good evening my love ! Miss you more than ever ! I give you a ton of praise for handling our finances extremely well for close to 50 years ! Our Lord has a financial wizard in His Domain in Heaven !
Chrissy helped me today to adapt to your system and it was so simplified ! I am so gracious for her assistance .
Words cannot express how much I miss you ! With the help of our wonderful family and the needed support they provide ; hopefully I can go on !
I look at your beautiful picture and always ask “ Why didn’t God take me instead of you to his house ?”
All our years together since we were 15 years old ! Just another 5 minutes to hold you tight ! Oh, so tight ! Your large stuffed bear that is sitting in your seat in the car is the constant recipient of my chatter when I drive alone; which is not often ! I put your favorite music on low and drive my normal speed limit which everyone knows is ...SLOW!
Getting a bit late and it’s time for hubby to try to go to sleep . It is very hard; extremely hard ; a bit impossible to go to sleep thinking about you ! Cant believe you’re not here ! With Me ! Love You Forever and Forever And Always

Brooke Marotta

March 20, 2021

Nana, as days go on you’re all I can think about day and night. I sleep with one of your bears every night, before I leave to go anywhere I give it a hug and kiss and say “Bye Nana I love you”. Years and years of wonderful great memories will forever stay with me You’ve guided me more than you know. I’m going to miss you calling me and telling me poppy’s aggravating you.You were the glue to our family and as we go on with life there will always be a piece missing that held our family together. I miss you so so much, I’d do anything to have one last conversation with you. You were a great person inside and out, everyone that came across you could say that I promise you I’m gonna make you proud i’ll do whatever it takes. As i’m sitting here bawling writing this I can’t help but to think about all special moments we had together, and all though you may never walk this earth again I know you will be with me everywhere I go. I hope you made it to heaven and you’re dancing around, this isn’t a goodbye it’s a see you soon.

I love you Nan forever and always
Until I see you again beautiful

Today marks 1 full week that you were taken from us . As the clock struck 8:45 PM, there was a moment of silence in my heart . That was extremely difficult for me as you frequently commented “ Can you pkease just relax the tongue even for a few minutes”? My answer was always “ I’ll try”.
God Bless you as I cherish all the great times we had together . Driving , Eating , Conversing , Good Discussion , and of course watching our children grow up and the family multiply together !
You and I are the roots together of our family . Patricia , Christopher, snd Michael’s families have grown from us and spread even wider .,What an accomplishment . You , yes you were the main stem of the Marotta root . You guided me along and together we strengthened the family .
O , how everyone in our family loves and how they miss you . I continue to talk ( you always say I was unable to shush ) to you all day and evening long asking you questions . When I eventually get back to cooking , I will ask you if I put too much garlic in the pot , or get ready to take a piece of Italian Bread , dip it in the sauce and let me know how the sauce tastes
It’s getting kind of late and I’m sure you would like to go to sleep . Always remember to start thinking about what’ I would tell you each nite when we went to sleep; besides I love you , what should I take out of the freezer tomorrow morning to cook that evening .
Good night, , I love you , as I kiss you good night .

March 19, 2021

Dearest Anne,
Good morning Sweetheart in Heaven., Each day gets more difficult to go on with life without you . Nearly 60 years of beautiful memories , along with support and assistance from our children and their spouses , our grandchildren and their spouses , and our baby great grandchildren help me get through daily life .

Each morning after I pour you a cup of coffee and cranberry juice , you retreat to your computer room and start ordering from Amazon , I sit at the kitchen table to balance our books , I can hear you say “Al, the mail lady just came “ ..Then , you retreat to the kitchen and we have breakfast together . You tell me to eat something , not just drink coffee ! O God to hear your voice again !
Just about now, the UPS driver ( Doug, Michael’s friend and a student I knew from school ) makes his daily stop at our home leaving me wondering what’s arriving today . Love it! So much fun .! As we get dressed and leave the house with our our bucket list of daily tasks .....

I open your car door first as it has been a ritual for God knows how long . I placed one of your bear blankets on your seat and also positioned one of your large stuffed bears in the seat to keep your spirit alive in our car .
I can hear you telling me to “ Get over from the left hand lane if your not going to go the speed limit as you view the speedometer reading on the lower windshield “
Or, “ Watch that idiot next to you “ .,And your favorite .”Drive faster , we need to get there by 2 o’clock PM , not AM”. My reply is always “Yes, Dear, and you smile ! After completing our tasks, we arrive home and I begin to make supper for us . We have a deal ..one day eat home; the next day we go to Central Park or Argentos, Cheddars or any one of your favorites . When I cook , you always have the catchphrase “ Watch the garlic , not too much “
After supper it’s tube time .....together ! Telephoning our children . Cherished times . Will always You !

Nana, i have been pondering all day what to say. And truthfully i still don't. It has not hit me yet. I have not had my breaking point and broke down and let it out that you are gone. I know I will soon, but for now I promise to be strong for poppy, your kids, grandkids and great grandkids. I will get everyone through this just like you always did for us. Cheyenne misses you more then you know. She still says no matter what you are one tough cookie. Going to your favorite places will be hard but i know you would want us to no matter what and that's what I'll do. I love you so much nana and can't belive that you're really gone. This isn't good bye this is see you later I love you.

Man where can I begin, Nana we’ve all as a family have had many amazing memories with each other either going out to eat or just a family outing. My most favorite memories with you are being at our Family Vacation in Orlando, just seeing you happy around all of us made me happy, same for everyone else who goes. You would patrol the area of Calypso each year with your scooter

Anne was a phenomenal woman who was loved by so many people at Cypress Elementary. She was the queen of multitasking and an outstanding secretary. We were sad for us but happy for Anne when she retired. Anne's family is in my thoughts and prayers. May their beautiful memories of Anne bring them peace and comfort.

Nana words can’t describe how much I miss you! We have so many memories together. Like when you would pick me up and take me to breakfast before school. You would always put us before anything! This isn’t fair life will never be the same without you. You would walk into a room and light up the whole place with your smile and amazing personality. I’m going to miss when you would call and say “how’s school going?” Or the words “bye lex”. I can’t believe I will never get to hear you say how cute Mahooms is or the joy rides you would take on your scooter. You might not be on vacation with us on Earth but I know you will be there in spirit. My beautiful angel I love you so much and I’m going to make you so proud. I hope you are doing good in heaven nana.

I have so many amazing memories. I started playing soccer when I was in 2nd grade. Coach Marotta was like a second mom. She always was pushing me to do my best. I believe our team was the lady bugs. I remember she had us do a talent show I think it was 4th grade in Hudson Elementary. We did oops there goes another Soccer ball. She was my coach all the way through High School. She fought for us to get an all girls soccer team. We went on defeated that year. She was always there for me. I almost dropped out my senior year. She encouraged me to come back. I graduated with my class. Thank you so much for everything you have done for me. I love and miss you so much
You and Al showed us how a family should be.
My heart goes out to all the family.
Sending Love and Prayers

Mom- I have tried to write this all day and everytime I start I just cry and cry like I am
Right now. I am lost for words. I do not understand and I have everyone telling me it’s not for me to understand. It is not fair mom! I love you so much, miss you so much and just think this is a bad dream. My heart aches. You were my rock. You are the best mother anyone could ask for. You are a perfect example of what a Mother should be. There was not one thing you wouldn’t do for me Trisha and Mikey and then it trickled down to the grand kids and now the great grandkids and everyone’s spouses. You were the rock and the glue of this entire family. You always told me you would not leave me until you knew I was in good hands. I never knew what that meant but I think I have an idea now. I love you so much mom and will miss you!!!! It hurts so bad mom.

When I first laid eyes on my Annie at age 14, it was “ Love at First Sight”. I brought my Annie to meet my parents and told my mom and dad that evening that she was the girl that someday I would marry . I never had a girlfriend in my life; as I was a sports addict . God made my dream happen !
Anne blessed us with 3 beautiful children , 9 grandchildren, and 3 great grandchildren .
When we were married , Anne selected a beautiful song by Frankie Valli titled “Can’t take My Eyes off You”. We met Frankie in 1979 and how true the words fit my baby until the Lord called her.
We have numerous memories of we both coaching our children and grandchildren in school. , recreational , and competitive sports .We cherished our yearly family vacations to the Daytona and Orlando areas as it gave Anne the opportunity to spend quality time with our entire family .
The trait that characterizes Anne above us all is that her family matters first and foremost in her daily life .
My Annie is not with me in body here on earth, but will be in my daily life and memory forever . My Annie will never., ever be forgotten .
Yes, I will cry everyday as she is not with me as we did EVERYTHING TOGETHER; but I will speak and act as if she is standing by my side .
Please God , take care of my Annie and cure all of her ailments .
As I told my Annie every morning when we woke up and each evening when we went to sleep ... “ I Will Love You Forever and Ever and Always“

One of my last memories with Nana was when she asked me to cut her and poppy’s hair about a month ago and she loves how short I cut it. I had a lot of fun that day she made us Nutella, strawberry, banana crèpe with whipped cream. I just love you so much nana You are the best grandma I could ask for you put everyone first before yourself and that’s why you were so loved

What can I say, everyone that knew her knows she was an amazing, beautiful person inside and out. I had the pleasure of taking care of her mom and the love that this family has is amazing. Her husband taught my husband in high school and has left wonderful memories with us. To the family, you will never k ow how many lives they have touched through the years and I wish for nothing but peace for you all. My prayers are with all of you and I am so sorry.

Oh my sweet Nana I will miss you so much. You have done so much for me in my lifetime. I will continue to share your crazy stories and make sure Kylie knows all about you. Hector & I couldn’t thank you enough for everything you have done for us. You were the glue to our family. I promise to take of poppy and the family. We all miss you so much and just can’t believe the lord took you home. I will miss our phone calls every day. Or you calling me Jessie my sugar is high, well nan what did you eat.... ummm something I shouldn’t. You always taught us eat dessert before your meal lol. Nana we miss you so much and love you unconditionally and will continue to tell everyone about you day in and day out. Until we meet again my sweet Nana! Love Hector, Jessie, Alanna & Kylie

I will forever love and miss my nana dearly there’s countless memories but she is an angel and it’s too many to choose one. She accepted me and my brother as her own when we barely had our own family and ever since had never treated us different. She was the glue to our family and you couldn’t not be happy around nana. You’ll be missed forever

Anne was so good to my son, Jim Babson, when he was growing up. She treated him as if he were one of her own. A wonderful woman who will be missed by many.

Anne, I love & miss you so much . I am doing everything I can to be strong for Chris, Al, the kids and the whole family. I still cannot believe that you are gone and that you haven’t called me this week, I think we all just want to hear your voice. You were more than a mother in law to me , you were supportive in every way and loved me like a daughter , and my kids like they were your grandchildren from day one . I will always take care of Chris and love him unconditionally, and I promise that you will NEVER be forgotten . We will continue every tradition that made you smile , we love you so much - Chrissy

Mom, I love and miss you so much. I didnt want to let you go but didnt want to be selfish either. I wish I could hear your voice one more time. I went to your house the 1st time today by myself and it was not the same. I expected you to be sitting on the couch watching tv when I opened the door but you weren't there. I know you are in my heart and watching over all of us. Thank you for doing everything you could for me. I love you. RIP. See you again mom.

Anne, I always referred to you as Queen Anne or Your Highness once I got to know you at Cypress. You always called me Doctor Steve which was very kind of you. I have so many memories so I don’t know where to begin. My you enjoy eternal happiness with our Lord in Heaven.
