Antonio Creagh ,
To the family of Antonio, I express my condolences and share in your sorrow. From the time they moved into this small neighborhood, Antonio and his family developed a friendship with our family. Through the years I truly cherished the relationship that grew. But like Antonio, I also have been given time, by the grace of God, to share precious moments with my loved one’s before I sleep.
It is only when we have experienced love that we truly realize what is lost once separated. The love we share in our actions and the memories we leave behind is the ultimate gift. As long as there is someone who loves us, we will remain alive in their heart. Memories…make this possible through the love we have for them.
Know for certain…we never lose the people we love, not even in death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make because their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories. We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared their love.
We are always better for having loved for love transcends even death. It’s up to us to leave good and lasting memories from a life lived worthy of the gift that has been given us. To live in the hearts we leave behind, is not to die at all, for death is only sleep, waiting to be awakened into truth.
To my friend, may you rest in peace until we meet again.
With our loving friendship,
The Patriarca’s
Jared, Suzanne and Joe.
