God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered "come to me." With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best. Frank, Suzie & Lesa, You have our sincere condolences on the loss of your Mom-Grandma. We are deeply saddened by your loss. You will cherish the memories of the times you spent together. We are with you during this time of grief. We have gone through enough of it in the past couple years ourselves. You never get over it, and time does not heal all wounds, they just make it bearable to get by day to day.Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, May looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow. Hugs & KissesDebbie Ricchio & Family
