Dear Mary Ann and family,
Sorry to hear about Joe. I think about you guys often. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Love to you
and all your family.
Rick, Cindy,& Erin Lischerelli

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

To my dearest family, 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. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm 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 He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, 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, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the 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 be 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.
But 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 has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him 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.

We were all truly blessed to have had such a valuable cornerstone within the Filorimo family, as we had in Joe. Though we are grieved, and our hearts are heavy, we are enlightened as we realize the fullness of the life he lived- A fulfilling wife, successful children, and many beautiful grandchildren. Even so, my sympathies reside with all who were touched by his life, and all who are at a loss.

Aunt Mary Ann, Matt & JD.

My heart goes out to all of you, and I wish I could be there with you in this time of grief. I love you all and I will miss Uncle Joe greatly. I have many fond memories of him as a kid and know that he touched my life in many ways. If you need to talk please don't hesitate to call me.

Love, Kathy

Joe,
I had never been very accepting of being "parented" as a child or teen by anyone but you and Mary-anne lovingly accepted me into your home and offered yourselves to me. As an adult I only look back and wished that I had Listened to what you had to say and maybe showed you how much I appreciated you later on. I went through terrible times but In the end I have turned out happy and successful and Im glad you eventually got to see me make it. Through my life you are the closest thing that I have ever had to having a father figure. I think me and you had lots of inside jokes and secrets that nobody else knew about but then again I bet everyone of us feel that way as you made each and every one of us know we are special.

Love
Mrs. Amanda Trihey & Michael Trihey, Foster, Ashleigh, Breanna and Ian

God Bless you all always...Dawn R. Mardis (Wesner) Myrtle Beach, SC/ formerly of Johnstown, PA.

Maryann and family,
So sorry for your loss. Joe kept a close eye on the building of our house and kept us informed everyday as to what was planned for the next day. I just wished I would have had a chance to play a round of golf with him.
To J.D. and Matthew, I know what it is like to lose a father, so if you need to talk, cry or just someone to vent on, just let me know. In this little corner of Moncks Corner, he will always be remembered for his holiday decorations, especially Christmas.
Your father was a great guy, celebrate his life.
Jim and Connie DeWitt

Mary Ann, Please know Ricky and I (Rene') will be keeping you and all the family in our prayers. Our hearts are torn but rejoice he is with the Lord! Please know that we love you and Joe will be missed by many!

Ricky and Rene' Myers

Mary Ann,
May you have comfort during this time in knowing Joe made a difference in so many lives. He will be greatly missed by all, including our family. Opie, Allison, Victoria, Catherine, and Ryan Brewington

He was one of the best friends I could have ask for and have thought of him quite often over the years. Keep in touch and let us know how you are. Many hugs and kisses, love Lee & Dar

We love you Joe!!! You are missed a lot!!
Crystal and Ethan

Maryann, My love and heart goes out to you. I am so very sorry. Kitty

Dear Maryann and family, My thoughts are with you as you struggle with Joe passing so suddenly. After taking care of him and the entire family for the last ten years, Joe could always make me laugh. He loved to poke fun and joke around. He loved all of you so very much. I will miss him dearly. If ever you need anything at all, I will help in any way I can. My prayers are with all of you at this very sad time.
Stephanie Zeliff

You were the best Pap anyone could ask for! You will be missed greatly. There is no doubt that you touched the hearts of everyone you came in contact with. I will always remember the great advice you gave me and everything you did for us. Thanks for everything, thanks for being such a geat man, thanks for being you!! xoxo - Rachel Cosby
