2019 10th Anniversary 
Dear Lea, This time of year the weather is the hottest. You always had beautiful hot birthdays every year in July. The butterflies are all around. I see you in all the beauty of the flowers, the trees, and the smiles and saddness in everyone's face. This time of year is very sad and lonely without you, I feel the saddness in every fiber of my being. Sweetheart, today it is 10 years that you have passed on and I haven't seen you. You would have been 43 now. In those 10 years we have suffered and ached and been stuck, confused and unsure of how we would cope with this terrible loss.It would have been so much easier to go with you rather than remain to endure all this pain. Lea, what I want to tell you this year on your 10th anniversary is that 2 of the most profound life experiences for me were the day you came in this world as my daughter and the day you left this world. The day you were born I was the happiest person in the world and the day you left was the saddest day of my life. You came into this world calm and serene like a little angel from heaven. Your life was full of challenges. You lived it with intensity and lived every moment to the fullest. The day you left this world you left quickly and quietly yet the repercussions were almost world wide. The black hole that was created in my life by your absence was a sucking force that pulled the life out of me. I want you to know that Daddy and I have been working hard for the past 2 months to create a space that we can feel as close to you as we can.. Today everyone you love will meet together in your space to honor the love and kindness that you brought to all of us and to feel a bit closer to you. That is what keeps us going and will help us to go through the rest of the time on this earth without you. I feel you with me all the time like an angel looking after me. You are somehow always still nearby. I look to you for guidance and comfort as often as I can. I still watch the sun rise and set on July 16 and wish that I could put my arms around you and never let you go, chat about your day and plan for tomorrow. Love is beyond time and space and we discovered beyond our wildest dreams how powerful it is to love someone. Beautiful, kind, loving and gentle Lea, we cannot describe the enormity of our love and how deeply we miss you. Mommy and Daddy    Today, your 10th anniversary of you gone is very painful to all of us, especially your mom and dad. Lea, we want you to know that your leaving us, did not take you away from us, you will always live in our hearts with the beautiful memories we all shared with you & will to cherish all that you left us. Love, Cecile, Nunzio & family   Dear sweet Lea We love you and miss you very much. You will always have a special place in our hearts and memories. We treasure the times we met with you at the Caisse and appreciate the loving but professional way you met with us. Your sincerity and extremely good-nature came naturally. Love you always sweet Lea! Zia Antoinette & Zizi Renzo "This place is a dream. Only a sleeper considers it real. Then death comes like dawn, and you wake up laughing at what you thought was your grief." Rumi I can picture that beautiful smile of yours! We love you and miss you so much! Nadia, Eddy, Naliya and Josué "Meet Me Halfway" by the Black Eyed Peas. Now when I hear it on the radio or just play it in my car I think of you and it's as if we're still singing it together. I can picture it in my mind so clearly.. seeing you sing to this. Oh how much you loved it. I miss you so much. There are just no words to describe the emptiness I feel today without you here. There is just no one else that can ever take your place, ever. I love you Lea. Sabrina Dear Lea, You had a strong influence on me, especially as a child during summer vacations. You seemed to know the right balance between indulging your younger cousins and pushing them out of their comfort zone to learn or try something new. I miss you. Marco "Those who think there is a time limit when grieving, have never lost a piece of their heart" Our dear Lea, Today, on this sad day for all of us, we not just remember that you left us, but that you lived, and that your life left us memories too beautiful to forget. We all love you and miss you every day. Cecile and Nunzio Dear Lea, There is not a day that goes by that I don't miss you more than words could ever describe. It's been really hard without you. My hope is that one day, we will be reunited so that I could give you a big hug and talk to you. That is my biggest wish! In the meantime, I feel your presence in many of the things I do. I always look for the signs and I will keep doing so until we meet again. I love you so much Michelle "The wound is the place where the light enters you." -Rumi Lea, your light continues to be the medicine that nourishes my soul, deepens my awareness, and guides me to see through the eyes of my heart. Your light reminds me to receive the beauty of life with gratitude making colors brighter, words sweeter, and each moment a little more precious. A simple memory of your beautiful, contagious laugh, never fails to fill my heart with love.
