MEMORIAL TRIBUTE TO DAD
FRANK H. BONO
Feb 1,1924--March 19,1999
It doesn't seem like it has been five-years ago since you were the victim of a violent Crime. I will never forget the day we received the telephone call that you had been seriously hurt. You weren't even suppose to be there that night. If only you had stayed home with your family that night you might still be here with us. My father was brutally attacked at his place of business on New years Eve in Detroit Michigan Dec 31,1998. You had family who loved you very much. You are missed so deeply by your children, grandchildren, and your two great-grandchildren who never had the chance to meet their Papa and the many friends and family you left behind. They say that time heals the pain but it is still there just as strong and just as deep as it was the day you left us. I know deep in my heart that you are in a better place where you are no longer suffering. I know mama was waiting with her arms opened. You will always be loved and missed by your loved ones and one day we will all be together again.....
Your Children: Sharon, Susan, Steven, Mark,Tony, Jack, Sheila, Sue and Gwendolyn
Grandchildren: Jim, Frank, John, Craig, Nicole, Stacy, Brian, Tony, Gina, Justin, Brandon and Nicholas
Great Grandchildren: Jakob Alan and Nicholas Ryan
UPDATE:
They have found and convicted the person responsible for this crime. He is now serving a life sentence with no parole. You gave up your life for some cigaretts and a few bills that were in the cash register. What hurts the worst is you knew who he was and was doing him a favor when you opened your locked business so he could purchase cigarettes. I wish you wouldn't have been so trusting dad. We all miss you so much but know you are with mom now and one day we will all meet again
LETTER FROM HEAVEN
To my dearest family, there are some things I'd like to say.
But first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven, where I dwell with God above.
There's no more tears of sadness here just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I am with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through
God picked me up and hugged me and said I welcome you.
It's good to have back again, you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family "Frank", They'll be here later on.
I need you here badly, you're part of my plan
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man"
God gave me a list of things, he wished for me to do.
And foremost on that list was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
Because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears
But do not ne afraid to cry: it does relieve the pain
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned
And If I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
But together we can do it by taking one day at a time
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too;
That as you give unto the world, the world will give to you
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain;
Then you can say to God at night...."my day was not in vain"
And now I am contented...that my life was worthwhile
Knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile
So If you meet someone who is sad and feeling low;
Just lend a hand to pick them up, as on your way you go
When you're walking down the street and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind
And when it's time for you to go...from that body to be free
remember you're not going....You're coming here to me
