A Better Place Cry for me no more the many tears of sadness My time in this world was over and it came for me to pass. Bring the photos of old time and see them not with tear-filled eyes But with eyes of joy and laughter and smile once more with me. Know that I am in a better place one without disease without hatred and without death This kingdom I now call home I wait here for you When your time comes to pass to ease the transition from the old to the new. Cry for me no more. Remember only the laughter. For I am in another realm And I wait to see you again. My condolences are with you & your family.

Dave, Kathleen, Barbara, and family…please accept my sincerest condolences for the passing of your father. I’m sorry I’ll be out of town and can’t attend the Memorial Mass on Monday. Your Dad…and Mom…were the truest of friends to each other, (in spite of all the wrinkles and bumps they went through), to me, and everyone’s lives they touched…I feel very fortunate to have had, and shared such a genuine friendship and special relationship with each of them, with each of you and your respective families over the years we have known each other. Your Dad was a true Gentleman in every respect, a giving person, someone you knew who would be there whenever you needed him…his passing will not be something easy to accept. In his last few years on this planet he was fortunate to have another wonderful lady in his life, Jeannie, who gave him a great deal of peace, love, joy and inspiration. He and I spoke of this quite often and the fate, twists and turns that life has. I’m sure she feels the same pain of his loss as you during this difficult time. It’s only 4 years since I lost my Dad …he was my strength as I’m sure .Shadow. was for all of you as well…it’s not easy…it’s a painful process, and somehow we survive. I’m so sorry for you to lose your Dad / Fiance’ and for me to lose such a good friend. Sincerely, Dom Contessa
