Darlene Izzo
in honor of John.
Pop, you are home now — truly home — and I take comfort knowing you’re reunited with so many of the people you loved. I can see you with our daughter Stephanie, finally holding her again. I can picture the joy on her face as she ran into your arms.
And I know you’re with Ann again, and Mom‑Mom Rose, and Aunt Arlene, and Aunt Anita, and all our loved ones who went before us. What a reunion that must have been — a circle made whole again in heaven.
Me and Mark lit this candle in your memory, and we will cherish your stories, your kindness, and your gentle spirit forever. Your faith, your love, and your presence will always live in our hearts.
Until we meet again, keep them all close for us.
We love you more than words can say.
