My dearest daddy. You are my world. I opened up your wallet to find a picture of myself in a middle school play. I can't believe you saved that. I know how proud I have always made you. You have always been my hero. I don't know what I will do with you, but I will do my best to make you proud. I knew you were ready to go home, I knew you were just waiting to hear it from me. I am sorry it took so long. We both know I am selfish and holding on to you was my way of never letting go. I felt the presence of your brothers as you left us, I heard Uncle Earl say baby its gonna be alright. I know I will hurt, I will endure pain I never thought possible, but I know you want me to be strong, so I promise to try my best and never give up. I will always be my daddy's little girl. I love you daddy!

Dear Denise and all of Doug's family,
I am very sorry to hear that Doug has passed away. My first husband, Jerry Ashworth, and I met Doug over 30 years ago down in Coventry. I remember meeting his little daughter and son at that time, whom he loved very much. He used to talk about wanting to back to New Orleans to see his mother, whom he missed a lot. I know he was a very kind and compassionate man. He came to the wakes for my first husband, my mother, Lucy Cicilline, and my youngest son, Terry Ashworth, who died suddenly last November. Each time I saw him at the wakes I was deeply touched that he remembered us, especially at my son's wake when he came carrying his oxygen. I know it must have taken a good deal of effort to come all the way to Narragansett and then to wait in the long line at the wake. My second husband had COPD and was on oxygen so I know how tired it must have made him. I hope that you have many happy memories to sustain you and that the Lord will give you comfort and strength for the lonely times to come.
Barbara DiSanto (Narragansett, RI)
TO THE LAFRANCE FAMILY AND FRIENDS:I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE SOME REFRESHMENTS WITH YOU- LIFE, LIKE A MIST, APPEARS FOR JUST A DAY,THEN DISAPPEARS TOMORROW.ALL THAT WE ARE CAN QUICKLY FADE AWAY,REPLACED WITH TEARS AND SORROW.IF A MAN SHOULD DIE,CAN HE LIVED AGAIN? HEAR THE PROMISE GOD HAS MADE: HE WILL CALL;THE DEAD WILL ANSWER. THEY SHALL LIVE AT HIS COMMAND. FOR HE WILL HAVE A LONGING FOR THE WORK OF HIS OWN HAND. SO HAVE FAITH, AND DO NOT WONDER,FOR OUR GOD CAN MAKE US STAND. AND WE SHALL LIVE FOREVER,AS THE WORK OF HIS OWN HAND. FRIENDS OF OUR GOD, THOUGH THEY MAY PASSED AWAY, WILL NEVER BE FORSAKEN. ALL THOSE ASLEEP WHO IN GOD'S MEMORY STAY,FROM DEATH HE WILL AWAKEN. THEN WE'LL COME TO SEE ALL THAT LIFE CAN BE:PARADISE ENTERNALLY.-JOB 14:14,15.
