IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Francis P. Giannattasio
January 30, 1921
- August 29, 2011
Fill not your hearts with pain
and sorrow, but remember me
in every tomorrow. Remember
the joy, the laughter, the smiles.
I’ve only gone to rest for a while.
Although my leaving causes pain
and grief, my going has eased
my hurt and given me relief.
So dry your eyes and remember
me, not as I am but as I used
to be. Because, I will remember
you all and look on with a smile.
Understand in your hearts,
I’ve only gone to rest a while.
As long as I have the love
of you, I can live my life in
the hearts of all of you.
