While the loss of a loved one is never easy, it is most certainly the hardest when they are taken from us. Your recent loss of your loving wife/mother/sister Arlene is certainly in the category of those hard losses for which there is such a painful reminder of what might have been with many memories.

We offer our sincere condolence and deepest sympathy on your loss. May the outpouring of sympathy, the kind acts of friends and strangers and the comfort in knowing that your loss is felt by many, help you through this difficult time.

I ask for God's blessings on you and your wonderful caring family. May you find the courage and strength to move forward in peace and confidence in knowing that she had a life well-lived. Arlene was a wonderful woman. We have many wonderful memeories of her. Thank you for letting us share them with your family.

Yours In Peace,

The Csekme Family (Rick & Christina, Samantha & Nicholas)

Dear Frank and family,

I am so sad to hear this news tonight, and am writing you to tell you that I love you all, and wish I was there with you to tell you in person. Even though I haven't seen everyone for a long time since I left Chicago, I never stop thinking about my family and when I call Dad or Karen, I always asked, "How is Lilly doing?" My prayers of comfort are with you, and I am crying now, as I look at her picture on line.

Love You,
Cousin Lori

Dan and Frank (Jr.)~

I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you and your family.

Words seem inadequate to express the sadness felt at the loss of a loved one, but may you find some comfort in knowing your mom is no longer suffering. Although death leaves a heartache no one can heal, I hope that the ache is soon replaced by smiles of the memories you have of her.

My sincere sympathies to the entire Defino Family.

Dear Frank, I am so sorry for you and your Family to have lost Lily. I can only say there is not a day or hour that goes by... that I dont think of my own wife, yours and Lilys Aunt Carolyn , its very tough. We both loved Lily so much. we will miss her. God bless her.
This is for all the kids and Beatrice. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Love Uncle Larry Marturana

Dear Frank, Frank, John, Tom, Dan, MaryAnn & All my Cousins,
I'm so sorry - even though we will celebrate Arlene's wonderful life, this is still a very sad time.
Arlene was my Godmother from confirmation and she always made me feel special throughout the years. Thinking of her brought a smile to my face & a sense of awe, at ALL of the things she did, how busy and involved in each of your lives she was, and what a brave and "Special Lady" Arlene will ALWAYS remain in my heart, and my family's - my mom & dad loved "Lily" very much.
Love to you all
Cousin Karen

Dear Frank and the entire family,
I'm so very sorry for the loss of your wife Arlene. Although I've never met her , she must have been a wonderful person because I can see her in your family every time I visit Tukaiz as a representative for UPS.

Sincerely,
Doug Andrews
