To the Family members of Carlo Abboud,
You must not say that he is dead.
He is just away!
With a cheery smile and a wave of the hand he has wandered into an unknown land
And left us dreaming how very fair
It needs must be, since he lingers there;
So think of him faring on, as dear
In the love of here;
Think of him still as the same, and say he is not dead,
he is just away.
With our heartfelt sympathy,

It's so very difficult
to let our loved ones go,
but they're in perfect peace,
and that's so comforting to know.
Our hearts will surely miss them,
but we miss them with a smile.
Trusting we will see them
once again, in a little while.
We close our eyes and picture
a world that holds no pain,
a paradise of joy and hope,
as gentle as the rain.
There we see our loved ones -
they're suffering no more.
It ended when we found the key
that opened Heaven's door.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Part of Our Hearts Forever
Could we ever forget your sparkling eyes
or the way you brightened each day,
or your smile which is etched in our memories,
so you're never far away?
Could we ever forget those priceless moments?
The answer, of course, is never.
For you were part of our lives for a brief time,
but you'll be part of our hearts forever.

TENDERLY
May time heal your sorrow
GENTLY
May friends ease your pain
SOFTLY
May peace replace heartache
And may warmest memories remain
May HE heal your heart.

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond's gift of snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain
I am the autumn's gentle rain
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush.
Of quiet birds in circled flight
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there,
I did not die.
Carlo will be with us forever. Keep the memories alive and keep him in your hearts.
We love you all. May God Bless You!

Held briefly,
A fragile butterfly
lights beside us
like a ray of sunshine.
For a fleeting moment
its majesty and beauty
belong to this world.
All too soon it flies
on again, and though
we wish it would
have stayed,
we feel so lucky
to have seen it.
happy birthday carlo we will miss you always and forever

They say memories are golden.
well maybe thats true
But we never wanted memories,
we only wanted you.
In life we loved you dearly,
in death we love you still.
In our hearts you hold a special place no one could ever fill.
If tears could build a stair case
And heartache build a lane
We'd walk the path to heaven
and bring you back again.
Our family chain is broken
And nothing seems the same
but as God calls us one by one,
the chain will link again.

All the memories I have with you and your brothers as child I will cherish forever. Today you would have been a young adult and a fine one at that. There is now a void in this world with you gone, which I'll try to fill with wonderful memories. They all called you little Carlo, but you were never little to me. You had the most beautiful smile and the biggest heart. Anyone who knew you, would know how genuine you were. We miss you so much.
FAMILY FOREVER
