My condolences to the Colacino family. The loss of a loved one grieves the heart, and words are never enough to take away the pain. However, our Heavenly Father knows your grief, and as a loving and caring Father, he will be there to comfort and soothe your broken-heart and crushed spirit. (Psalm 34:18) May you find comfort and hope in God's promise of the day when you will reunite with your loved one again. (Isaiah 26:19).

Deepest sympathy to my best friend Debbie and her family. I will always remember sitting around Debbie's welcoming kitchen table talking and laughing with Betty while my kids took swimming lessons there. Great memories! Rest in Paradise, Betty.

We will surely miss Betty, Betty always said to me John Paul is such a nice boy. She always asked me about my family. Always enjoyed seeing her and Sam at Target. So sad to hear this news. Thinking of you, Debbie and Sam.

Debbie,
We were at Target with all the grandkids just after Valentine's Day. Your mom and dad were sitting in the café, and your mom took to our grandchildren. We talked with her for quite awhile, and she couldn't say enough about her "Debbie" and Debbie's wonderful husband, Bill. I can't believe that was just two weeks ago, and now she is gone. It was a pleasure to get to meet her.

I didn't know her much, but she touched my life, was at Target a few times and she noticed my granddaughters. We would sit at Cafe and talk about everything, I especially love her stories of long ago. God has added another angel. So sorry for your loss. She will be missed. Praying for your family.
