Messages of Condolence
My sympathy to all of Mary’s family. She was a wonderful and
cheerful person in spite of her health difficulties. Everyone who
knew her loved her. God Bless all of you.
My deepest sympathy to Mary’s family. Mary was one of the sweetest people I have even know. When I think of Mary, I see her smiling like she always did. I feel that I am blessed to have known her. When I face hardship I think of Mary and how she faced everything with a smile and the grace to be loving to everyone around her.
My sister Mary for the greater part of life endured daily pain. She did so with strength and grace. Yet, she never shown bitterness. A poem by Helen Lowrie Marshall best exemplifies how I believe she would like to be remembered.
Afterglow
by Helen Lowrie Marshall
“I’d like the memory of me
to be a happy one.
I’d like to leave an afterglow
of smiles when life is done.
I’d like to leave an echo
whispering softly down the ways,
Of happy times and laughing times
and bright and sunny days.
I’d like the tears of those who grieve,
to dry before the sun
of happy memories
that I leave when life is done.”
Bless you Mary.
rest in peace

Aunt Mary, You were a very strong, courageous and brave Lady! In spite of the many health challenges You had to endure, You tolerated them with grace, poise, patience and strength. Your warmth and caring spirit would always shine through. You were definitely long-suffering and had a very deep faith in God, His Blessed Mother and the Saints. I believe You were a saint yourself! You were an excellent listener, and I enjoyed our many deep philosophical conversations that covered a variety of topics including animals. You loved your cats, but had a soft spot in your heart for others as well. I enjoyed seeing you smile and pet our dogs, when You would come to visit. Your smile and laugh could light up a room.
Aunt Mary, may you rest in peace, free of pain, discomfort, and all illness and may You truly enjoy eternal life, and your everlasting reward,with your beloved Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ and the rest of your dear family and friends!
You will be missed dearly!
God Bless You, Peace be with You. Thank you for all your love and kindness and for being such a blessing in my life. It has been an honor and a gift from God to have known You.
Love & Prayers Always,
Veronica

To the Talvacchio family, I’m very sorry for your loss. No matter how much time passes we still feel the loss of our loved ones and view death as God does, an enemy. (1 Corinthians 15:26) May you find comfort and hope in His promise at Revelation 21:3,4 that shows soon there will be no more death, sickness, or pain, and we can see our lost loved ones again. Please accept my deepest condolences.
