God saw you were getting tired, and a cure was not to be. So He put his arms around you and whispered, "Come to me". With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.
Poetry In Memory of Thomas Martinelli

Hey Daddy. Laughing about when you won the 5k at the casino and ypu made me stuff the cash down my jeans so we wouldnt be mugged in the parking lot. Then I had to give it back to you to hide when you sent me into Walgrens. Every time I wear the beautiful Brighton savarski crystal heart belt I had wanted for sooo long but could never afford .... because you shared some of those winnings with me because you wanted me to have it. I bought it right at the Pgh airport! Thank you again for the gift a...» read more
