Katie Catherine Palumbo September 24,2004 Wow, Mom it's your brithday again, another year without you.... I'm still so sad, and lonely, the day you died a part of me went with you. You were my best friend. I miss talking to you, hugging you, bringing you cake, so you can put up a pot of coffee and have girl talk. You were so special to me. I loved you so much and I still do. Love NEVER dies. that's something that lives forever. I do believe though this birthday that you are celebrating, is quite special this year. I mean now Joe (your son) is with you.... I know how much you loved him.....I'm not happy that he's gone. but I am happy, that you are happy. That he's there with you..So Mom I want to tell you this, Have a wonderful birthday in Heaven, and I miss you everyday of my life... even though it's been 16 years, you think the pain would get less intense. But it's not true, Time doesn't heal all wounds... Not this one. No time in this world could ever ease the pain of losing a mom........ Especially a MOM like you. you were caring, giving, loving, you were real special and I am grateful that God gave you to me..... So Mom once again, have the Best Birthday ever....... and one day, I too will join you and really celebrate..... I love you mom love your daughter Frances Palumbo XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Katie Catherine Palumbo Born September 24 1916 Astoria N.Y. USA Passed Away March 1 st 1988 Flushing N.Y.
