Remembering / Kelly Mueller (Family friend )
I am very touched looking at this website and thinking about Carmen, and as I think about her I also think of my sister who died in a car accident one year after Carmen..on the 21st of January. It's a bittersweet day remembering all of the events and just remembering the feeling of losing someone that you love so much. It's unimaginable. The only good thing is, I have no doubt that Carmen and Erin are both in heaven and have run into one another by now I'm sure. Close

Sadness...again / David Guizzetti (Son)

Mom.  Last night, my sweet Emma got hit by a car.  She was bad.  I took her to the vet in Marquette last night and then I had to transport her in the ambulance to a special animal hospital in Appleton today.  By the time I got home and talked to the doctor I had to decide to put her down.

Now, she's gone.  She'll never come home again.  My Emma was the one who was with me at my old apartment when you were taken from me and she was so sweet and layed with me and kept me company when I was so sad.  Now she's gone too. 

She was just a dog, but I've never had a better dog than she was.  She was so kind-hearted and gentle and fun, and I know she loved me up so much.  She used to get so excited whenever I'd come home.  That big whip of a tail banging on everything.  She loved to sleep with me on the ol' Tempurpedic bed and I'm so glad that she slept with me the night before her accident. 

It's very strange because when she was laying there with me, I was thinking how awful it would be if I ever lost her, and how thankful I was that she was only 6 and I'd have her for many more years to come.  Now, two days later...she's gone.

Two of the three most important people in my my life...you and my Emma were both taken from me, and I'm afraid that my mind won't be able to take it. 

I already miss her so much and now everyday I have to miss you and my Emma.  I hope to God that dogs go to Heaven and that you'll take care of her for me until I get there.  I can't stand to think that I'd never see her face again.

Still thinking of you...  / Tonilee Cullison (niece)
Auntie Carmen:  I still think of you so often...your birthday, every holiday, the anniversary weekend of your going home to be with Jesus.  The days that surprise me are the "every day" kinds of days.  The days that I use the saucepans you bought me for my wedding or when I open my cookbook and see your handwriting on a recipe card.  (In fact, my Aunt Joan & Auntie Julianne & I talked about you and your kind spirit and awesome recipes this past Christmas.)  Anyhow, the days that are difficult are the days I think about Tina, David and Laura.  I understand that if given the choice, you wouldn't come back because you are in the presence of the Lord; and nothing can compare.  But they sure loved you and needed you.  I pray that they can transfer their reliance to the Lord and find support in their lives that will once again reunite them with you.  My heart aches for them still.  I promised you that I would love my godchild, Laura...fact is, I love all three; Tina, Dave & Laura.  You gave them the greatest foundation, Auntie Carmen.  You were the best!  Love, Tonilee

Three Long Years  / Dave Guizzetti (Son)
Mom:

Today marks the third anniversary of the worst day of my entire life.  I'm happy you're in heaven and have no idea of the sadness that has clouded all of our lives since you were taken from us.  

There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of you hundreds of times.  The impression and mark that you've left on my life will never be forgotten.  I'm often times very sad that you're not here with us any more, but when I think of you, all I can picture is a smile on your face, and a word of love or kindness from your mouth.  Thinking of you doesn't really make me sad.  It makes me happy.  I feel so lucky to have had you in my life for as long as I did.  I'm grateful to have had such an amazing person as my mother.  I feel very sad for those people, and I know there are a lot of them, who never got to experience the kind of selfless love and kindness that you bestowed upon us.  So many millions of other kids have never had it so lucky.  

I'm not going to lie.  It's hard to not have you here anymore.  I miss you so much and I wish that my little boy could've experienced a grandma like you.  He's just about three years old now, and he just missed you.  I hope that you met him in heaven before he came to us here on earth.  I often pray to God that he will somehow, in His way, let you know that I miss you and that I'm thinking of you and that you are still loved by us all.  

I miss many things about you.  Chrismas dinners, summer picnics, family gatherings, or just hanging out in Munsing washing the cars together or talking on the phone.  Despite all the trouble between us, I even miss Harold, Monica, and Durae.  Something went wrong and it's all gone now.  I miss our family.  No amount of money is worth losing all of that.  None.  

You were a source of comfort to me, a calm in any storm of my life, and I miss you're wisdom, advice and guidance.  While my time on earth continues, I know it's short in the grand scheme of eternity, and I hope that when I leave this place, you'll be there to greet me and take me into Heaven.  I miss you, and I love you, mom.

Happy Mother's Day  / Dave Guizzetti (Son)
Mom:
It's been a long two years since you left us.  Today is Mother's day and I miss you and think about you many times throughout every day.  I still dream of you often, and I wish you could be here to see and experience all of the great things that are happening in the lives of my little family.  I think Anthony would make you proud and I wish he could've known you.  I put a big angel statue on the side of the highway and all of your flowers today.  It really looks nice.  I know you'd love that angel.  It's definately you.

On the other hand, there's a whole bunch of crap going on that I know would make you so sad, and I'm really glad that you're not here to see what's happening.  Harold insisted on taking the majority of the money from the lawsuit.  We tried to fight him in court to make the settlement distribution fair and equitable, but he refused to be fair about it and the judge granted him most of the money.  Now, our cousin Sara Ryan has set up Harold with a new girlfriend.  The ink was barely dry on the checks he got and he's hustled right on to someone new.  I saw him hauling things in and out of her business last night.  I hope he didn't take all your pictures down in the house and I hope he didn't leave your urn in a closet somewhere.  All those tears for the judge and all that whining about how he was going to be "alone for the rest of his life" and  how he would have to "sleep in an empty bed forever."  It didn't take him long to change his tune.  I think you would feel really hurt that this is happening to us, mom.  How could he take all that money from you and then just turn around and move on with someone else?  It makes me sick.

I hope you know that Laura and Tina and I will never forget you and never disrespect your memory that way.  I would never use your memory to my advantage and I promise that I will always live my life in a way that will make you proud and in a way that will show the world what an excellent role model you were.  I love you mom, and I miss you very much.

You'd be so sad.  / Dave Guizzetti (son)
Mom:  

I wish you were here right now.  Our family needs your wisdom.  There's so much anger and bitterness right now.  I hate all this fighting with Harold.  

I know there have been misunderstandings that are petty and stupid.  I'm trying to do what's right for Laura, Tina, Faith, Anthony and me, and I'm trying to fight for what we believe you would want for us.  I hate fighting, though.  I hate having bad feelings between us kids and Harry.  We just can't understand why he's doing the things he's doing.  Maybe it's because he hasn't completed the grief process, even after nearly two years, maybe it's because he doesn't want to let you go.  Sometimes, I think he's just taking his anger out on us kids, especially me because he thinks we didn't want to fight for you anymore.  I just don't know.  All I know is that what's happening now has torn us away from Harry, Monica and Durae, and I don't know if it can get better or go back to the way it was before.

You would hate this, mom.  I know you would.  But I truly believe in my heart that you would want your kids to be taken care of, and I also believe that you would fight for us.

I wish you were here to tell me what to do.

I miss you.

Guardian angel  / Stephanie Langlois (daughter in law to be )
Carmen, I remember how excited you were for Anthony to be here for last Christmas.  You were so happy that he was coming!  You talked of getting him a stocking, and presents, and we were so sad that you weren't here with us.  This Christmas I thought about you a lot, and I really wanted you to be here.  Anthony was very excited for Santa to come, and of course the presents!!  I hate that he doesn't get to share these things with you.  I know you would have loved him soooo much!  I wish he could know you, and feel your love and warmth.   We talk about you to him all the time.  It is very sad to think that  little Faithy was so close to you and how absent the feeling of your love must be in her heart, although to young to really understand.  At least she got to know you, to feel you,  and your love.  The ONLY thing that makes it seem better is to know that you are able to watch over her and Anthony, and protect them throughout their whole lifes... as a guardian angel does.  Faith  will even say, "Grandma Carmen is my Guardian Angel."  Close

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family David....  / April Savola (no relation/Friend of David's )
Dear David,

I heard awhile ago that your Mother passed away, and the impact it had on you.  I heard this through Missy, but until I saw this website...I guess I didn't even realize how much I love my own Mother.  The words that you wrote about your Mom...they were so beautiful and they really touched me.  I am so very sorry that you lost her.  She was(and still is) very beautiful.  She looked very young and vibrant, but most importantly happy.  I am sure that with a son like you...she couldn't be anything BUT happy..along with the rest of the family.  You are a very charasmatic person, and from what I read that's exactly where you got that trait, from your Mom.

You know, my Grandmother lost her only daughter when she was 16 years old.  I wasn't even thought of yet, and to this day nobody talks about Trish except my Gram.   One thing she has said to me over and over again and it stuck with me....She said that without her faith, she wouldn't have made it through.  Her mother in law told her that "God needed a beautiful rose in his bed of thorns, and so that's why he needed to take her", and so now I pass Great Grandma Ceridono's words on to you.  I do this because My Grandma  STILL smiles when she tells me this, as if it were the very first time that she said it.  She made it through, and so will all of you, because of your faith! 

And I hope I didn't go on too long David, but I wanted you to know that My heart has gone out to you!

God's Blessings, April Close

Mom / Charlotte DelGarito (In memory of mom )

Hello, I was visiting the website viewing my mom's obituary and linked onto the grief support and scrolled through past many but yours caught my attention.
My mom went home to heaven on October 31, 2005.
She struggled with cancer for 2 years.
Everyday she prayed for healing but instead she was called to come home to Jesus.
My sister has alot more difficult time getting over her because she was her caregiver. I couldn't be home to be with them all the time but have regrets on working all the time and doing other things.
But I did get to be with my mom every chance I got, we would go out to a nice dinner and enjoy a good meal together, laugh together, just being together.
My sister dreams of her every night and tells me it's like mom never left. I had a few dreams of her. One I dreamt that she has a mansion, a big beautiful house with a staircase with red carpeting. Another dream recently I was in a hospital waiting room, waiting for my youngest sister and my mom came to me and we hugged and hugged. I cried to her and told her It was just all a bad dream. I woke up and it was just a dream...
After her passing my sister dreamt that mom came to her and hugged her for a long time and then left...She said like she was in bright light and looked healthy. When she was here, the cancer took a toll on her body and lost alot of weight and her hair. The chemo treatments damaged her teeth, causing them to crack and chip.. making her sick more.
Everyday is a brand new day. I pray daily. If I can't even utter a word for prayer. I hope and have faith for renewal and healing. If I am so down I seek prayer requests to other websites like www.guideposts.com, www.joelosteen.com and contact all my friends to pray for me and my family.
I know how you feel about your mom and we miss our mom tremendously. The way she walked, talked, laughed, her smile,most of all her presence, feeling her breath when she stands or sits next to you. Going places that we went together everything...Just like you I thought I would just be fine I was wrong. After a few weeks, it hit me harder than I had imagined. I went through a time of drinking every night and passing out til I couldn't drink no more just to dull my pain. The holidays came around right away and it hurt even more when her birthday came in November, just a few days shy from Thanksgiving. One night I cried for 3 long hours on my boyfriend's sister shoulder. I was devastated like the pain would not go away and it felt endless. Some people didnt understand and it seemed to them like its not a big deal what I was going through...whatever. I started to avoid people because of my sensitivity...I'd just break down and cry in front of someone.
I'm okay now...I just think positive and remind myself that mom never left us. That she's in heaven where the streets are gold and where everyone has a mansion and God only knows what they're all doing together. Your mom and my mom and someone else's mom are probally hanging out together sharing alot of love and peace and laughter. No pain, no sorrow, no evil exists and no death except LIFE with Jesus.
You can view my mom's photo under www.compassionmortuary.com. Then type in Anna DelGarito in the search box.
Your more than welcome to send me e-mails to charlottedelgarito@hotmail.com Look forward to hearing from you.

Time rushes on except for your grieving loved ones. I see the pain on Harold's face and the loneliness in his heart. You filled lives with love and joy, and without you there is that emptiness. You are so dearly loved and missed. My hope for your loved ones is that the void they feel in their hearts will eventually be filled with all the wonderful happy memories of times shared with you. You and they are always in my thoughts and prayers. Close

My dearest, precious cousin.  One year - how can that be?  My heart aches at the thought of it.  I miss you so very much, dear cousin of mine and think of you every day.  The pain does not go away.  It is my constant companion.  Even though I know you are in a better place, it hurts so much.  So,  I wait for the day when we will be united again and together we serve and praise our God and King.  Missing you...
