Patsy, our deepest sympathies are sent to you and yours. When my parents died many years ago (1954,55) I was upset to the point of being bitter. My Minister, who was a great man, said to me "Warren, the only advise I can give to you is to concentrate on all the GOOD Memories of your parents. The fun times and love that you shared with them. Put aside the sad times." That advise helped a lot but there was something still missing in my life. When my first child was born, a son, the nurse in the hospital brought him to me and put him in amy arms. I looked down at this beautiful child and started to understand God's plan. Here was the family carried on to another generation. I have very little doubt that my parents were looking down at their new Grandchild and smiling at both him and for me.

Today as we celebrate the birth of our savior, take heart in the fact that your love for your father will live forever. God Bless :sunny:

My condolences PATSY, best heart felt wishes to you and your family.

And Merry Christmas to Everyone here.

Merry Christmas Mamacita ....to you and your Family also!

Freddy and Warren ....good to see you both on

MERRY CHRISTMAS MAMACITA WE LOVE YOU AND A KISS TO JEFFREY FROM ALL OF US.

My Dear Cousin Patsy,
No words can express what I feel.
Know we all love you.
You are the kindest and sweetest girl ever.
You always think about others. Aunt Connie and Uncle Charlie (your grandparents) did a wonderful job raising you. They gave u the structure for your life and you took over when you grew up. They did a wonderful job and you have grown into a wonderful person and I congratulate you on continuing that job well done.
I love you cousin Terry

I just stopped in to wish everyone a great Christmas......but its a bit less merry for all of us here with the news of Patsy's dad's passing....I as well as all who love Patsy wish her Peace through this difficult time.....my heart felt condolences to you and your Family......

My Dear Cousin Carol,
What can I say???
We have been through so much together, laughs and alot of them, love and friendship all through the years. You were not only my cousin my my Dear Friend.
We went through good times and bad.
We have had some very good times through the years. Our excursions to cemetery's and highway patrol tickets, tissues in your glasses from blowing your nose so may times at David's funeral. Your shirt inside out at the funeral. So many other times. Lmao
Yes I have to make u laugh even in this very sad moment. I Love You So much
Cousin Terry

I'm so sorry to you Patsy, and your family on the loss of your Dad.
You are always so nice to everyone here.....
You and your family will be in my prayers....
Merry Christmas to everyone else...including you, Sue !

It's so easy to be upbeat when most things seem to be going right in our lives. When things aren't going so good is when the true test of our character comes into play. YOU Patsy, appear to stay TRUE to form. This is a sad time and yet you seem to have an inner strength that seems to lift you above and beyond the obvious sadness. It's sad because of the loss we experience when a loved one passes. Your father is now in a better place. I must admit that I cried when I read your post, not because I knew your father and have so many fond memories of him, but because I feel for you and your family. My prayers are that you and your family continue to find strength in each other. I'm no bible thumper but a verse that comes to mind when thinking of finding this strength is found in the book of Galatians. The book was/is actually a letter written by Paul (not you Giglio) to the Jews of that day after Christ had been crucified, encouraging the people of that land to stay strong in their faith and not revert back to their old ways during the difficult times that followed. I am truly saddened by this loss for you and your entire family. I know there are no magic words to make anyone feel better during these trying times. Sometimes...just knowin there are people there for support is all the magic we need.
Galatians 5:2 "Bear ye one anothers burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ."

Hello to all my Park Slope ( South Brooklyn) friends I don't come on the blog as often as I'd like to but I think of you guys often. Merry Christmas to all and may the New Year bring us all Health and Happiness!!!
