Just recently, I shared these words with your sister Angie on an Easter card. I wanted her to know that life was so beautiful with our Salamone extended family and so I want to share these words with you too knowing that your spirit will always be near us and you will hear me. The words are as follow: "There are beautiful moments that I shared with you in our lives. Oh such sweet, beautiful memories that remain with me, especially those of my life with you and my mother and your sisters and your brothers and their husbands and wives. These precious moments of our lives have remained with me even now so vividly. And sometimes I think I've lived before all that I've lived today. Memories come back to me as if they knew the way. All the tricks my mind can play. It seems as though just yesterday, we were all together in the Wonderland of the West End of Boston where we all began our life's journey."
Oh uncle Tony, I'll always remember summers in Burlington with your wife and you and a pack of your mischievous nieces & nephews on the little farm that you had in Burlington where you lived for many years of your life. What patience both of you had to handle all of us naughty, frisky kids. At night, we slept in what I remember as a log cabin with no lights or running water and an out house for a bathroom. The farm had chickens and ducks and concord grapes everywhere. I ate the grapes off of the vine until I burst. We all loved life on what we called the farm and our only escape from the city! I have so many memories that are written in my heart and written on my mind. Such a beautiful life with our Salamone family! And so I bid farewell to you in this life my funny and witty Uncle Tony, knowing that we will all be together again someday in the spiritual life. And no more will we let life divide what death can join together.
Love,
Your Nephew Nat
