Condolence: I miss and love you my dearest sister

Condolence: I will always remember the good times and good conversations I had with Marie. We shared a lot of laughs in Florida, Tennessee and Maine. I will always treasure our friendship and will hold a special place in my heart for her. My deepest sympathies to Val. You were a wonderful brother and everyone deserves to have someone like you in their life. May you rest in peace Marie and someday I will see you on the other side. Love your friend always, Debbie

Condolence: Val and Family, I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Marie. I will always remember her as my next door neighbor, confidante and good friend, growing up in Randolph. She was beautiful AND smart, had a "michievous" sense of adventure, but most of all a great love for her family! Val, as I read your updates on Facebook, everyone could see that the love was overwhelmingly returned to her when she needed you the most. You will never have any regrets, you were a wonderful brother to Marie! There may have been days when she got a little "spunky" but she always knew in her heart, you were doing what was best for her. There is never a good time to lose a loved one, but it is especially hard around the holidays. I hope that you many wonderful memories of better days with Marie will bring you and your family comfort at this time. Love, Kathy

Condolence: miss you everyday always have...... always will

Condolence: My fondest memories of her have always been her ever-smiling face and her jovial laughter. It is true that Marie lived a life of a fragrant flower. She always managed to bring a smile to a weary heart. She was an attentive step-mother and I have many fond memories of camping and spending long weekends and vacations in New Hampshire with her, nicole and my dad (John Miranda). I will never forget my first concert, Marie took me to see Loverboy and REO Speedwagon; Nicole sorry you had to stay home! I owe thanks to her for my successful nursing career, as she encouraged me into the field of nursing as a child. She encouraged me to get my first "job" as a Candy Striper at St. Annes Hospital, and it was then I knew my future was in nursing. There were many "firsts" with Marie growing up; She taught me how to drive a car...in the Celica! She taught me how to cook and shared many old favorite recipes with me! I am an animal lover, thanks to her......we had so many cats, dogs etc growing up. Growing up between the ages of 10 and 17 with Marie, were years that I will cherish, as she taught me to be a confident and strong person. Myself and my family send our condolences to her family and loved ones. The truth is always hard to swallow if you're choking on your pride. "Love the one you've got, and appreciate who you have, you may think you hold the world in the palms of your hands, but it can still slip through your fingers." Marie, you have left this world of sorrow, and are free from pain and harm, and now rest in peace and comfort, in the blessed Savior's arms. Love, Jennifer

Condolence: Dear Val, Mourning has a definite beginning...but as we all know IT NEVER ENDS. It goes from waves to ripples & ripples to waves, again & over again. Take a deep breath, brace yourself and you will find the strength to carry on. I can never never forget your kindness & strength when you were there for our Michael. It doesn't get easier but you always find the strength to help and eventually move on. That quality is one of the many many reasons why I love you. Stay strong, you are a wonderful person and a dear, dear friend.

Condolence: She is at peace now. No more pain or wants out of the physical world. Val, may you and your family be at peace with this as well.

Condolence: Val you were strong to the very end. She might not have wanted to hear what you had to say even though it was for her own good. Often those in her state don't to listen. I applaud you for hanging tough and walking tall through some of the deepest and darkest times of your life. Now I pray for god to give you a much needed rest and peace of mind, body and spirit.

Condolence: Marie, Rest in Peace and fly with the angels. Your brother took tremendous care of you. May your spirit be set free!

Condolence: Val So sorry for the lost of your sister. You did a good job in taking care of her and going to see her everyday. She is resting now and not suffering anymore. I will be there for you any time to hold your hand again whenever you will need it Love you, Lilly

Condolence: My dear friend Val, There is a bond that is stronger than diamonds draped in loyalty, care and love that tie your feelings for your sister around your heart. I'm so sorry for the pain and feeling of loss of the beautiful person she once was. Hold on to the memories that made you smile and gave you laughter. The memory bank holds wonderful deposits such as the foods she enjoyed the most, the life changes you both went through growing up and the music she enjoyed. There will be songs that will remind you of her. There will be flashes of events crossing your mind that you had forgotten that will come to the surface. The mind is a healer and you are stronger than you think. Memories will awaken like whispers reminding you she still is alive in your memories. Love and healing energy to get you through the pain, Twilla

Condolence: Val our hearts and prayers go out to you at this most difficult of times! Now she is at peace! You worked so hard and persistent as her caregiver!??

Condolence: Dearest Val- My deepest condolences for the loss of your sister. It's currently a difficult time for you -- but I'm sure you know that as time passes, the beautiful times and love you shared with your sister will dominate your thoughts. The next time you see her, she'll playfully smack you with a pair of oven mitts. Hugs- Michael.

Condolence: In God's hand, now.

Condolence: I am deeply saddened to hear of Ree Ree's passing. Thank you Val for being there for her. Words can't ease the pain for her dad and brothers, and I guess all who knew her.

Condolence: Although I never met Marie, I feel that I knew her somewhat from Val's frequent updates on her progress. As my own sister, Beth, passed away way too soon in December, 2007, I fully understand the precious time left for a close sister who has fallen ill. I enjoyed seeing Marie's photo and her smile. I know Val cared for her deeply and did more than anyone could to take care of his dear sister. May Marie rest in peace, and my thoughts and prayers go out to all of her family & friends.

Condolence: Dear Val, I am so very sorry for the loss of your Sister, Marie. You have my deepest sympathy and condolences. Please take solice in knowing you were ALWAYS there for her and did everything you possibly could to love and help her. Marie could not have asked for (or gotten) a more loving and dedicated Brother than You. She is at peace now, and no longer in pain. Cherish the fond memories of the love and good times you shared together. Hugs! Alan

Condolence: Marie in the brief time I got to know of you, you certainly taught me lots about what's what and who's who in life. So, I thank you for sharing those with me, even though you didn't know you were doing that very thing. In seeking peace, you leave a dear thing behind, Val, whom we as friends share. With this in my mind I too send condolences to your children, siblings and the family

Condolence: Rest In Peace Re. Love you and miss you terribly. Your brother Val. xoox

Condolence: My deepest condolences to you Val. You was there for her until the end. God bless you.

Condolence: Val, my sincere condolences to you at this time of loss. I can only hope that if I fall ill I have someone like you who cares for me as much and as well as you did for Marie. She is at peace now and dancing in heaven. And you can now move on as well. With all the love in my heart, Lucien

Condolence: Darling Val, Marie was deeply blessed to have your caring love and devotion. Your unwavering kindness and attention to your sister's needs has been an example of what true brotherhood is about. For the last 3 years I've watched as you put Marie's need before yours. You are a very good man and I'm proud to call you Friend. Lovingly, Peggy and Steve

Condolence: Though I did not know her personally I have had the pleasure of knowing Val. He loved you so very much and cared for you until the very end. She is at peace now. And as long as we remember her, then she will never really be gone.

Condolence: My condolences on the loss of your sister, Val. You were a wonderful brother, and took exceptional care of her through her illness. May she rest in peace. Her nurse, John Maglaini

Condolence: Val, Just from reading your thoughts over the past year or so, I know what an awesome brother you were, and how much love you shared with your sister. I'm certain that she absolutely adored you. Grief will be difficult for you now, but she will always be with you. I know because I lost my brother before he turned 40, and in the past 10 years, both of my parents. Just be strong and move forward, because I know that much of life is satisfying and enjoyable for you. Focus on that stuff when you can. My condolences to you, As Always, Chuck Pearle

Condolence: What a ride you have been on for the past few years - never quitting. She is at peace and no longer in pain. What a brother you have been to her. Friend, advocate, care giver, mentor. She died too young. But she will live on in you. Peace and love to you my friend.
