R.I.P. DADDY.MOMMY AND ANTHONY.. LOVE YOU ALL.. JOEY AND TAWNY
Hey Pop. I know the last few years have been tough. It’s a battle we all face, but I can say you faced yours very well. We did what we could to help, but in the end it was your life to finish. I won’t try to list the things you taught me and all of us. I probably haven’t figured out most of them yet anyhow. I do know this much, I nearly burst with pride every time you called me son. I am proud to be your son and always will be. Say Hi to Mom and the Kid for me. Rejoice in the arms of the Lord. I love you Daddy.
Dear Angela and Family, Sorry to read of your Father’s passing. You are in my prayers. Carol
Dominic and Family, You and yours are in my thoughts and prayers. Tony was a very well-loved man who raised a wonderful family. I am so glad to know you all and have you as my cousins. Your dad was a great man with a great heart. I am sorry you had to lose him, but I am happy for him that he is reunited in Heaven with his one true love. Love you lots, Casey
Tawny & Joe, So sorry for your loss. Love, Martha
With deep sorrow and condolances
Uncle Tony, I have known you all of my life and I love you. I know God has taken you into his arms and that you are with Aunt Helen and Anthony. I will see you someday as I know that Jesus Christ is my Saviour and Lord.
I am sorry for your loss. I regret not being with all of you at this time. Tony and Helen were always a joy to be around. A very good man Tony was. You are all in my prayers.
Tony….great Husband, great Father, great Grandfather, great Uncle, I’m sure of that. But, also a great Cousin to me and my family. I had NEVER heard him say anything negative about anyone. He always found the good in everybody. He will be missed by many, but, just want you to know he will be missed very much by me. God Bless you, Tony. And say Hi to my Dad for me. Chuck Oliver
Dominic, Angela, Joe and Mary: I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Our parents are such special people in our lives and the memories we have are a true treasure! May the Lord watch over you and your families. Much love always.
God our father, Your power brings us to birth, your providence guides our lives, and by your command we return to dust. Pray for the dead, especially Anthony Carpini Sr. May those who have been dear to us in life find a place with you in heaven. Lord, those who die still live in your presence; Anthony’s life changes but does not end. Pray in hope for his family, relatives, and friends. In company with Christ who died and now lives may they rejoice in Your Kingdom where all our tears are wiped away. Unite Anthony’s family together again as one family, to sing Your praise forever and ever. Amen. “Catholic Book of Prayers”
