I am so saddened to realize I won't see my WONDERFUL COUSIN Morrie anymore.
I will miss him so much.

He is in my prayers...in my heart...and most of all in my special memories of life.

Love You, Cousin, Diane

cousin morrie, you will always be remembered and missed

Dear Billy and Carrie, I still cannot believe it. Uncle Morrie always had a smile for me and ALWAYS made me laugh so hard I thought I would burst! He wouldn't even have to say a word. I'm sure he had the same effect on just about everyone! He had that gift. Our prayers and love are with you both and the entire Coletta Family. The Zenere family, Jimmy, Rosie, Andrea, Vanessa and Alexis

Morrie,It's been almost 2 weeks since you left us and I speak for many of our friends, we miss you very much. No matter who I talk to, we all say the same thing. We can't stop thinking how much you impacted our lives with your million dollar smile and your warm friendship. Rest in peace my friend.

Michael we are so sorry for your loss. Our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family. Charlene Calozzo Payne Donia and Tony Donia.

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. What a gentleman who was taken much too soon. He will be greatly missed.

Michael and the Colletta family -- How can you remember Morrie without seeing that dazzling smile on his face. He was a beautiful man and a great friend. One of my fondest memories of Morrie was when we played in the basement of the funeral home on 26th Street. To this day it still makes me laugh at all the crazy stunts we pulled. Nancy and I extend our deepest sympathies and love to all of your family.

Our prayers are with you and your family.

With our deepest condolences we offer our sympathy to the Coletta family. Morrie always had smile on his face, and that means much more than so many other things that we tend to put first. He was taken way too soon in our eyes, but only God truly knows where his place is.

God bless you Morrie, you were a true friend to both the DeGrazia and DiGiacomo families. RIP

It's been 1 week and we still can't believe he's gone

IT'S BEEN 1 WEEK AND I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE HE'S GONE

Dear Michael and Family:
I am so sorry to hear about Morrie, One of the guys from SCI whom I worked with for years just was passing my house and seen me out side and told me about Morrie, and today is Wednesday Oct 21,2009.
Will pass this info on to my mom. Prayers are with the family. Patti Bulat (Padalino)

To the Coletta Family

I was deeply saddened to hear the terrible news. Your family did so much for my family when my father(Joe DeFalco) passed. I played golf with Morrie with the KC's for a few years. My wife and I send our prayers and thoughts to you all.
Joe and Theresa DeFalco

Dear Michael & Family, My heart is so sad with the passing of Morrie.I grow up knowing and so did everyone else that the Coletta boys would be there for us in our time of sorrow. I will never forget the passing on our Mom and how safe they made me feel with the transporting of Mom back to Chicago from Florida they took care of everything with great care. God Bless you Morrie, may you rest in peace. Babe Ciaravino- Fisher and Family The Villages Fl.

Memories of friendship are treasures to carry with you always During this time of sadness we need to hold on to our memories and let them guide us. I was saddened to hear of your loss.

Dear Michael and Family:

I will never think of the old neighborhood or "hanging out on the corner" without thinking of Morrie. He was a wonderful person. Please accept our deepest condolences.

Carmina (Boscarino) and Ed Bendersky

I sent my condolences when I heard of cousin Morrie's passing on to heaven last week. I attended the wake and funeral and saw Morrie's interview about his buddy Brian Piccolo on the TV screen at the funeral home as well. What happened today was unforgetable that I wanted to share with you. I called my insurance company to get some information on my medical plan . The customer service rep put me on "hold" to gather the information that I needed. Then the music that came over the phone was the theme to the movie Brian's Song about Brian Piccolo starring James Caan and Billy Dee Williams. Knowing that Morrie was very good friends w/ Brian Piccolo many years ago, it was really ironic that of all the songs and kinds of music in the world that could have been played while on "hold" today at that particular time in the day when I called , that music theme song played to me. I believe Morrie is alive and well w/ God.

Dear Michael, Carrie and Billy, I was so distraught when my brother, Ronnie, told me today of Morrie's passing. I've known both Morrie and Michael since I was a baby.

Everyone always knew that they were in good hands with the Coletta's, especially during our most difficult of times. We will remember Morrie in our prayers. Know that he will continue watching over you, just from a "higher" place. May he rest in peace and may all of his family be sustained by wonderful memories. God Bless!
