Patrick Cozzo Obituary

Happy Birthday, Whitey

Pat, I will miss you and love you forever. We had 6 great years together. And I know we will meet again and pick up where we left off, dancing to our song "For the Good Times". Today is your birthday and I know you are celebrating. I love you and until we meet again, you are always on my mind and in my heart.

My condolences to the Cozzo family. Sudden losses are often the most difficult to cope with. Support from family & friends will help soothe the pain, even when you run out of things to say to each other. When we pray for comfort, God knows what we need even if we struggle for the right words because his "spirit itself pleads for us with groanings unuttered". (Romans 8:26,27)

Cozzo Family,
My deepest sympathy I am so sorry for your loss.

Dear Cozzo Family.. my deepest condolences to the family. I went to grade school with Patrick... I am so sorry for your loss. You are in my prayers.

Cozzo Family,

We are truly heart broken for you on the sudden loss of your husband and father. You will all be in our thoughts and prayers.

May all your memories comfort you through this difficult time.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

To the best brother-in-law I could have ever hoped for. You gave me 25 years of sheer joy and abundant non-stop laughter. You'll always live on in my broken heart. Love you and miss you, Joanne (Big Joe). P.S. I'm sure you're cooking up a big Christmas meal for all your loved ones who preceded you in death.
