5 Years in Heaven
He left us quietly,
His thoughts unknown,
But left us a memory
We are proud to own;
So treasure him Lord,
In the garden of rest;
For when on earth,
He was one of the best.
Forever loved, dearly remembered
and sadly missed.
Mom, Dad, Anthony, Chris, Alessia,
Sofia, Ava, family and friends.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
A Son Leaves A Trail of Memories
A little mud tracked in...
some grass stains on his knees...
his handprints
on the walls and windows-
well-worn memories.
Some pictures that he drew
way back when he was small..
the marks that measured
years and growth spurts
climbing up the wall.
A few small dents and dings
from "accidents" remain..
each tells its rale,
but no one here
is likely to complain.
Those boyhood souvenirs
together play a part
in how a son
can leave his mark
so clearly on the heart.
Ever since that first tiny footprint,
Son, you've made your mark
on this family in so many ways.
Thanks for all the great memories
and for being the kind of son
any parent would be proud to have.
We missed and love every single day.
 
 
 
Thank you Ruth Twin to angel Jose Figueira
 
 
I will love you and I will miss you for
the rest fo my life, until we meet
again. XOXOXO
 
My Child, My Life, I miss  you always.
 
 
  Remembering you my precious Dino
5 Years in the kingdom of heaven.

My Angel DINO
 
 I'd like the memory of me
to be a happy one.
I'd like to leave an after glow
of smiles when life is done.
I'd like to leave an
echo whispering
softly down the ways.
Of happy times and laughing times
and bright and sunny days.
I'd like the tears of
those who grieve,
to dry before the sun.
Of happy memories that I leave
when life is done.

In my dreams; you are alive and well
Precious Child, Precious Child,
In my mind; I see you clear as a bell
Precious Child, Precious Child,
In my soul; there is a hole
That can never be filled,
But in my heart,there is hope
'couse you are with me still.
In my heart, you live on
Always there never gane,
Precious child; you left to soon
Tho it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever...in my heart.
In my plans; I was the first to leave
Precious Child, Precious Child,
But in this world; I was left here to grieve,
Precious Child, my Precious Child,
In my soul, there is a hole, that can never be filled,
But in my heart there is hope,
And you are with me still.
In my heart you live on
Always there never gone
Precious Child; you left to soon,
Tho' it may be true that we are apart,
You will live forever in my heart.
God knows I want to hold you, See you, touch you
And maybe there is a heaven and same day I will again.
Please know you are not forgotten, until then

Tho' it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever...in my heart.
Miss you my Son, Forever Mom..
 

 
 
 
 
"EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE GONE"
 
Words, words are not enough
For me to say how much I miss you
You, flew away to soon
I feel so alone not with you.
But when I close my eyes
every night,
I hear your voice like an angel
And you're here again by my side
I swear I hear your words
They sing through me,
And I'm back were I belong
You are here even though you are gone.
You are here every where I go
Deep inside my heart forever
And one, one sweet day I know
We will be back together.
But until we are, here in the dark
I hear your voice like an angel
And you're here with by my side,
I swear I hear your words
They sing through me
And I'm back where I belong
You're here even though you are gone
and I know inside you're there.
I hear your voice like an angel
And you're here with me by my side,
I swear I hear your words
they sing through me
And I'm back where I belong
You are here even though you are gone,
And I know inside you're there,
Forever in my heart.
By Angelis.
Miss you my Son, Mom

   Memorial Butterfly Release July 7/07         

As you release this butterfly in honour of me,
 Know that I'm with you and will always be
  Hold a hand, say a prayer, 
 Close your eyes and see me there.
   Although you may feel a bit torn apart,
Please know that I'll be forever in your heart.
Now fly away butterfly as high as you can go,
I'm right there with you more than you know.
  By Jill Haley

    
 
  My Love For You....

My love for you will last an aternity.
My hopes and dreams,
Now carried on the fragile wings
Of each butterfly passing,
Compelling me to pause,
To savour each moment,
Each flutter in my heart
Your wings.



Dino A Precious And Beloved Son 
And Brother He Is Forever in 
Our Hearts!



~Dino We Love You And Miss You~



Thank you "Clores"- BellaArtCreation for the graphics.







Ride the stairway to heaven!





A million prayers won't bring you back
I know because I've tried.
Neither will a million tears,
I know because I cried.

No matter how I spend my day
no matter what I do
no morning rises or evening falls
when I don't think of you.



MY DINO 
 
On the day God took you
I thought that I would die
I wondered where the time went?
I asked a lot of why??
with people all around me
I felt alone inside
from all their words of confort,
I could't seem to hide,
I thought I might be dreaming
that I'd wake and find you here,
I thought "this can't be happening".
as I wiped another tear.
On the day that you were laid to rest
my heart broke yet again.
I wondered if the pain will end,
but mostly, I wondered when??
I's hard to be without you,
at times the day seems long,
sometimes I just sit crying
when there  is nothing wrong.
I wish I had more time
before your life was done,
I hope your resting peacefully.
My precious one.


~Dino Touched So Many Hearts~






Dino's Message
 
No flowers
No words
No sympathies
will comfort you

You know me
You loved me
You touched me
You danced with me

My life on earth wasnot in vain
I know you
I loved you
I touched you
I danced with you

You will think of me
You will cry for me
You will remember me
In a rainbow above the city
On a park where we played
In a star so vibrant as my soul
and through the eyes of my
beloved you.

I rest in peace with you.



"MY DAD IS A SURVIVOR"
My Dad is a survivor too
which is not  a surprise to me.
He's allways been like a lighthouse
that helps you across a stormy sea.

But, I walk with my Dad each day
to lift him when he's down.
I wipe the tears he hides from others,
he cries when no one is around.

I watch him sit up late at night
with my picture in his hands.
He cries as he tries to grieve alone,
and wish he could understand.

My Dad is like a tower of strengh
he's the greatest  of them all!
but, there are times when he need to cry...
please be there when he falls.

Hold his hand and pat his shoulder..
and tell him It's Okey.
be  his strength when he is sad,
help him mourn in his own way.

Now as I watch over my precious Dad,
from heaven up above...
I'm so proud he's a survivor...
and, I can still feel his love.

 



Play a song for us in heaven Dino!

If I Knew!!
If I knew it would be the last time
That I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly
And pray the Lord your soul to keep.

If I knew it would be the last time
That I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss
And call you back for one more.

If I knew it would be the last time
I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would video tape each action and word,
So I could play them back day after day.
If I only knew!!



DINO

You lived like a king 
and died like a knight
you now have angel wings
as your soul takes flight
you played your guitar and used to sing
through the glorius days and joyful nights
If i had one wish, it would be for god to bring
You back home with us, to make life right!
R.I.P.

Love: Brother Anthony







 

 

 


I am home in heaven dear ones Oh! So happy
and so bright! There is perfect joy and beauty
in this everlasting light.




All the pain and grief is over..every restless
tossing passed...i am now at peace
forever...safely home in heaven
at last





Did you wonder i am calmly trod the valley of the
shade? Oh! but Jesus's love illumined every
dark and fearful glade.





And He came Himself to meet me in that way
so hard to tread: and with Jesus's arm to 
lean on.Could i have one doubt or dread?



Then you must not grieve so sorely,for i love
you dearly still:Try to look beyond earth's
shadows pray to trust our Father's
will...


There is work still waiting for you,so you must
not idly stand: do it now while life 
remaineth.You shall rest in Jesus's
land...



When that work is all completed...He will gently
call you Home...Oh! the rapture of that
meeting...Oh! the joy to see you come.




~In Loving Memory Of Our Beloved Dino Raponi~

Our First Christmas Without You "DINO"

 
  
 "I see the countles Christmas trees around the world below
With tiny lights, like heaven's stars, refelecting in the snow.
The sight is so spectatular, please wipe away the tear,
For I am spending Christmas with Jesus this year.

"
I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear,
The sounds of music can't compare with the choir up here.
I have no words to tell you, the joy their voices bring,
For it is beyond description, to hear the angels sing.

"
I know how much you miss me, I see the pain inside your heart.
But  I am not so far away, we really aren't apart.
So be happy for me, dear ones, you know I hold you dear.
And be glad I"M spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

Please love and keep each other, as my Father said to do.
For I can't count the blessings or love he has for each of you.
So have a Merry Christmas and wipe away that tear,
Remember, I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year."



    
Light a Candle

And I will light a candle for you.
To shatter all the darkness and bless the times we knew.
Like a beacon in the night
The flame will burn bright and guide us on  our way.
Oh, today I  light a candle for you.

The seasons come and go, and I'm weary from the change.
I keep on moving on, you know it's not  the same.
And when I'm walking all alone
Do you hear me call your name?
Do you  hear me sing the songs we used to sing?

And I will  light a candle for you
To  shatter all the darkness and bless the times we knew.
Like a beacon in the night
The flame will burn bright and guide us on our way.
Oh, today I light a candle for you.

You filled my life with wonder, touched me with surprise,
Always saw that something special deep within your eyes.
And through the good times and the bad,
We carried on with pride.
I hold onto the love and life we knew.

And I will light a candle for you.
To shatter all the darkness and bless the times we knew.
Like a beacon in the night
The flame will burn bright and guide us on our way.
Oh, today I light a candle for you


"MY MOM IS A SURVIVOR"

My mom is a survivor,
or so I've heard it said.
But I can hear her crying at night,
when all other are in bed.
I watch her lay awake at night,
and go to hold her hand.
She doesn't know I'm with her,
to help to understand.
But like the sand on the beach,
that never washes away...
I watch over my surviving mom,
who thinks of me each day.
She wears a smile for others..
a smile of disguise!
but through heaven's door I see,
my mom tries to cope with death,
to keep my memory alive,
but anyone who knows her knows,
It is the way to survive.
As I watch over my surviving mom,
through  heaven's open door...
I try to tell her that angels,
protect me forever  more.
I know that doesn't help her..
or ease the burden she bears.
So if you get the chance, go and visit her,
and show her that you care.,
for no matter what she says...
no matter what she feels,
my surviving mom has a broken heart,
that time won't ever heal.
LOVE you MOM.

 

We Remember You

At the rising of the sun and at its going down,
We remember you.
At the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter,
We remember you.
At the opening of the buds and the rebirth of spring,
We remember you.
At the blueness of the skies and in the warms of summer,
We remember you.
At the rustling of leaves and in the beauty of autumn,
We remember you.
At the beginning of the year and when it ends,
We remember you.
As long as we live you too will live, for you are now a 
part of us,
As we remember you.
As long as we live you too will live, for you are now a
part of us,
Forever loved and remember.

His legacy
When I Leave  
I'd like the memory of me
to be a happy one.
I'd like to leave an afterglow
os smiles when life is done.
I'd like to leave and
echo whispering
softly down the ways.
Of happy times and laughing times
and bright and sunny days.
I'd like the tears of
those who grieve
to dry before the sun.
Of happy memories that I leave
when life is done.
R.I.P. Dino xoxo
I'M FREE.....  



Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free,
I'm following the path God laid for me.
I took His hand when I heard him call,
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day,
to laugh, to love, to work or play;
Tasks left undone must stay that way.
If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Ah yes, these things too I will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full, I've savored much.
Good friends, good times, a loved ones touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief,
Don't lengthen it now with undone grief.
Lift up your hearts and share with me,
I'm with GOD now, I've been set free.




Our thoughts are always with you
Your place no one will ever fill.
In life we loved you dearly
in death we love still.

Our family chain is broken now
And nothing seems the same
But as God calls us one by one
The chain will link again.
