Mom, another Christmas has passed without you, and it still hurts. It is so hard to watch Lucinda cry when we try to celebrate special days. I try to soothe her as best as I can and my efforts do not seem to be adequate.
The boys talk about you all the time. I remind them that you are always close and they can speak to you any time. Justin hopes you are watching his football, baseball, basketball and soccer games. Christian hopes you can hear his music.
I guess that's all for now. Save a place for us at the Lord's table.
Love you,
Peter

Hi mom--can't believe it's been a year already; it just doesn't seem possible. So much happened this year that I guess you got to view from Heaven--Justin's 1st Holy Communion, Christian's Confirmation...To say we miss you would be an understatement.You were such a consistent active and strong presence in all our lives, that we still feel like you are around us. I keep a box on the piano with some "memorial-memorbilia" that I can visit any time I want, whenever I need to..on the top, just after i pick up the lid, is a wonderful picture Gina took 2 years ago in a Huntington diner when we met her for breakfast, and I can sware i hear you laughing in this picture. I talk to this picture and imagine the sound of your voice and laughter because it is so natural looking. It comforts me a while and for a moment I trick myself into thinking that I had a visit with you. Thank God I am lucky and blessed enough to have a lifetime of tangiblly warm a nd wonderful memories of such a giving and involved mother. I have so many things to hold and look at, smell and listen to, of things that were yours, you gave to me or remind me of you. Peter and the boys are missing you deeply and as I assume as you sit at the right hand of The Father, I imagine you would know just how so. On this 1st anniversay of your passing, of course you are the ist and most important thought of the day (every day). I asked Justin what did he want to do this Halloween and he said, "Isn't it Obvious--what do you think I want to do?!" I said ,"OK i know you obviously want to go trick-or-treating for candy. I'll go with you afterschool" And he said, "NO, I OBVIOUSLY want to go to Grandma's grave. Don't you know when your mother dies, you are supposed to go to her grave to visit her. It's called RESPECT! Cemetary first,then candy after that!" So mom, you should know that Justin has continued to tell us like it is for yet another year!--some things never change.. and always out of the mouth of this babe! Christian of course is too cool to ring doorbells in costume but has asked me to get a filled bag for him! He, as always, has you on his mind and forever in his heart--as we all do. And in your honor, and continuing with happy tradition, I will be makeing your last seasoned and labeled pot roast that you had in the freezer. It was such a happy family day to come home to a cozy hot autumn meal after trick-or-treating with the kids for hours. You always made Halloween feel special and fun,even though when I was a kid I always hated Halloween. How ironic--I now really have a reason to hate Halloween and suddenly am filled with the need to continue your fun with my kids. Of, course you always made every day feel special and every holiday extra, extra special. Well, i'm off to the cemetary to place a small pumpkin on your tombstone in rememberance of All Soul's Day and your "perfectly round-shaped head". Tonight we will eat your potroast and attend a Mass in your honor at St. Dominick's..and in between we will eats lots of candy(also in your honor!)and this is how our Halloween will go. And I can't believe those crazy masks from the 1960's and my childhood, that you have dumped in my basement for lack of a better place to keep them, are suddenly now my most cherished pieces of crap, for lack of a better word to call them! Life does go on...forever with you in our hearts. I love you mom. I'll talk to you later.

My dear mother, not a day goes by that I don't think about you and cry for you. We got through the holidays--WE know you spent yours with Jesus this year, although we missed you every minute. Please ask God to bless our new year, and please keep visiting me in my dreams...sweet dreams.

Aunt Marie is so special in countless ways. I remember how full of life she was. Always smiling and enjoying her favriote glass of wine with family and friends. I remember at universal studios in fl she got on the wild and crazy spiderman ride with the family. Most adults half her age wouldn't go on that thing! hehehe! Living in Fl I never really got to see aunt marie or the whole family for that matter, but even though i didn't get to she her that much, she always seemed to know what i was doing with my life and was very interested in it. she was there to give support me, give me advice, and love me. I love you aunt marie very much and im going to miss you. To Lucinda, peter, christian, and justin i'm very sorry for your loss, but we should all be at peace because i know aunt marie is in haven looking down and watching over us all. god bless

Aunt Marie,
You have always been a role model for me. You were the "elder" I looked up to. You were always fun,had a kind word and camera in your hand (and a wine glass too - quite a trick). You have left a beautiful legacy behind and should be very proud of Uncle Lou, Lucinda, Peter, Christian and Justin. They are remarkable and made sure we were all there to honor your memory with very loving touch. You are at peace now and for that I am glad. I will call on you as my angel along w/ my father. Have a drink with him - I am sure he still likes a nice vodka cocktail!

My AUNT, My GODMOTHER, My FRIEND: You may be gone,but you will never be forgotten! I will always cherish, the times we spent together. As a young child, I REMEMBER YOU driving Grandpa blue and white ford,waving ,as you pulled out of the driveway. DANCING with me,after you gave me my first record player. TEACHING me how to use my camera (smile and say cheese). The summers I spent with you and Uncle Lou when Lucinda was a baby. I can remember the look on your face, after I ironed the nylon socks. As I grew older, you were always there. birthdays, holidays, graduations etc. YOU NEVER FORGOT! Now I'm older, with a family of my own. I WILL NEVER FORGET ME GODMOTHER, MY FRIEND, MY SPECIAL AUNT MARIE. I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER! AnnMarie

Rosemary Orlandino posted a condolence
So many of my early childhood memories include my Aunt Marie. She would come out to visit us many weekends before and after she married Uncle Lou.She taught me how to play canasta and I became the "fourth" , playing cards for hours with my mother, Auntie and Aunt Marie. She also taught me how to cha-cha after a trip to Mexico. We had so many good times when Aunt Marie was with us -- we laughed until we cried, which was easy for the Rosano women!
My aunt and I had a special relationship--she was my very own cheerleader! Now I know how special she made everyone feel, especially her family, extended family and friends. Her wit, sharp to the end, her smile,her photos, her cooking , her care of others and her love for all of us will never end, just as my love for Aunt Marie will never end.I will always raise my wine glass to you, my beloved Aunt.
I love you and miss you, your loving niece, Rosemary

Mom,
You have been a part of my entire adult life, over 25 years. You trusted me with your only daughter. We have shared much laughter and many tears, and over the years I learned much from you.
You became my mother in every way possible and I will miss you terribly.
But I promise to always take care of Lucinda, Dad, Christian & Justin just as you have taken care of me.
I pray you will watch over all of us from above,and we will honor your memory always.
Love always,
Your son Peter

Marie Adams 11/29/28-10/31/07 (78)
My mother was a simple woman. She wasn’t a career woman, doctor, lawyer or head of state. She didn’t have social position or power. She didn’t own a large corporation or anything small & significant for that matter. She never found a cure for a disease and did not even aspire to. She never sang or danced her way into the spotlight, or had any particular luxury afforded to her.
But my mother’s life was so meaningful & purposeful in the most gentle way possible.
She was a homemaker…NOT a housewife as they would say in her day (she was not married to her house). She was a HOME MAKER. She made a haven for us. A place of comfort, peace and most of all love, an UNCONDITIONAL SACRIFICIAL LOVE that was a blessing to us all and a role model to all who were lucky enough to be near her. She was an unbelievable example of what it is like to be a real WOMAN…a real CHRISTIAN and a real contributor to our lives and our world.
Her beauty transcended anything vain or shallow, but those of you who traveled from near and very far to share in her last days already know that.
She knew she was dying (on Halloween I might add), and as I held her through her passing, she and I had many conversations. She said the hardest part was leaving all the people she loved. My mother’s whole life was letting others know how she cared for them.
Her Godchild Gina found this poem, and I think it is a fitting final thank you to all those in this church today.
“To Those I Love”
When I am gone, just release me, let me go-
So I can move into my afterglow.
You mustn’t tie me down with your tears;
Let’s be happy that we had so many years.
I gave you my love, you can only guess
How much you gave me in happiness.
I thank you for the love you each have shone,
But now its time I traveled on alone.
So grieve for me awhile, if grieve you must,
Then let your grief be comforted with trust.
It’s only for a while that we must part,
So bless the memories within your heart.
And then, when you must come this way alone,
I’ll greet you with a smile and a “Welcome Home.”

Being an Aunt is one of the most special positions in a family and other than motherhood, was always my favorite.
Aunt Marie was so special to me and my family - always there in any crisis and celebration. As quick with a joke as she was with a hug, her presence in my life made a huge difference. Her passing will leave a tremendous vacancy in our hearts, however consoled by the fact that we now have one more angel watching over us.
Love and Peace dear Aunt xo

As I laid on my mother's soon-cooling stomach this horrible morning, I was comforted to peace by a breeze that rushed through the window and brushed my face, and I knew at that moment that my mother was kissing me good-bye (as she promised me weeks ago, she would.)
Mommy, I love you. Save room for us all in Heaven.

Lucinda,
I do not know how it is I stumbled upon this guestbook as I was searching for something else totally unrelated. Perhaps I was guided here by angels. It has been a lifetime since we last exchanged communications. Life is strange that way - close friends during our freshman year at TMLA, then family moves and time works to put us on divergent paths. Regardless, I was saddened when I happened upon this page. I so fondly remember your mom (and dad too) and the warm welcome (and wonderful pasta) that would greet me during the summer visits to your house in Richmond Hill. Please know that my prayers and thoughts will always be with you and your family and my memories of Marie always give me occasion to smile.

I pray that you are well in heaven and are watching over grandpa making sure he can heal and spend many more years with us on earth before his departure. I love and miss you very much, Merry Christmas.
