6 Loving Memories of a Special Son ANTHONY PAINO August 16 4ever in my Heart To lose someone so special Is really hard to bear It hardly seems believable That you're no longer there You left us far too early before your time it seems And now you'll never have the chance To fulfill all those dreams However hard it is though, We'll take comfort in the thought Of all the memories we have And the happiness you brought You always lived life to the fullest But...Ours won't be the same Until the day we can see Your smiling face again... Anthony the heart ache of losing you will never go away. Until the day we meet again. Celebrate with the Angels in Heaven, Love and Miss you 4Ever my Son Mom ELLY PAINO Let s Go Mets Let s Go Rangers HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOEY I remember the day you were born, Joey, August 29, 1965 A sweltering hot summer day when my first born child would arrive You looked so much like your grandpa our precious little boy And you brought so much happiness and love, not to mention joy As we walked through the journey of life, we shared many years Some were very happy, son, and some made my eyes fill with tears When I think about the fun times we had back in the Brooklyn days And how handsome you were with a beautiful smile and your loving ways Tears roll down my cheeks when I say Happy Birthday to you You would have been forty-eight years old oh how we love and miss you We will never let go of the memories we made way back in time We treasure their existence as they are etched in our mind We send our love to you and miss you so very much, son Someday soon we will be together again when our day is done Happy Birthday, dear Joey, up in heaven where you now reside Rest in peace with the God and the angels who are by your side Love, Mom Ann Garofalo
