Dear Patricia and family,
Please accept my deepest and sincere condolence for the passing of your loving father. Joe was an awesome man and I will never forget his smiling face. I had the privilege to meet him when I was working at the grocery store and he became a wonderful friend. He was helpful, kind and considerate and just a wonderful person. You had a great father and it was through him I was able to meet you. Patricia may the Lord Bless you for all the help and caring you provided for your dad and may you always cherish the great memories you were able to make with him. Now you need to focus on creating new memories with your daughter and husband. It will be difficult to adjust at first as you will always feel the painful void of your dad but remember his spirit (and your moms) will always be close to you and your family. I am very sorry for your loss and will pray to God to help you and your family through this terrible time of grieving.
Joe, May the angels lead you into paradise,
may the martyrs receive you
in your coming,
and may they guide you
into the holy city, Jerusalem.
May the chorus of angels receive you
and with Lazarus once poor
may you have eternal rest.
Amen.
With love, your friend,
Rose Di Bari
