When a child dies, at any age, the family suffers intense pain and may feel hopeless
and isolated. The Compassionate Friends provides highly personal comfort, hope,
and support to every family experiencing the death of a son or a daughter, a brother
or a sister, or a grandchild, and helps others better assist the grieving family.

Telephone Friends
The people listed as tele-phone friends are there
because they are bereaved
parents and siblings who
have had been bereaved for a
while and therefore they
have the ability to “hear”
your pain. These friends are
there to listen. Don’t hesitate
to call when you need to.
They are our compassionate
friends.
Visit our website at www.sitcf.com
We welcome our newly bereaved friends. We are sorry for the cause that brings you. We know how devastated
you are. In order to get full benefit of our meetings, it will be necessary to attend at least three meetings. We offer
you unconditional love and understanding as we share with you our love for our children.

Love you always & forever, Mom & Dad
In Memory of
Mitchell Scott Krauss
11/14/74 12/17/03
Since heaven has become your home
We sometimes feel we’re alone
And though we now are far apart
You hold a big piece of our heart.
We never knew how much we’d grieve
When it was time for you to leave.
Or just how much our hearts would ache
From that one fragment you would take.
God lets this tender hole remain
Reminding us we will meet again.
One day all the pain will cease
When He restores this missing piece.
He’ll turn to joy our every fear
And wash away our every tear.
It will become our simple way
To treasure our reunion day.
Like an eternal flame your memory
Will live in our hearts forever.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MITCH
With love Mom & Dad
In Loving Memory of
Vincent Chiara

A Father’s Prayer
I am a man, God and I have been taught
That I should be strong and show no
Weakness. My wife needs me to be
Strong; I cannot and must not be weak
And lean on her. It is only with You that I
Can be honest, Lord, and even with you I
Am ashamed to admit it, but I want to
Cry. I can feel the tears securely damned
Up behind eyes that want to burst. There
Is a voice in me that shouts, “BE STRONG!”
But there is another voice inside that speaks
Softly, and somehow I feel that it is YOUR voice.
Father, You who tell me that maybe my wife
Needs the tenderness of my tears more than
She needs the strength of my muscles? You are
Right, my Lord, as always.
My wife needs to see my grief. She needs
To feel the dampness of my tears
And know the aching in my heart. Then just as
We became one to create this life, we become one
In our grief which mourns his death. I think I
Understand now, Lord, it is in sharing that awful
Pain of my grief that I become an even stronger
Man. It is in sharing tears that I share my true
Strength. Oh, God, help me communicate my
Deepest and most sensitive feelings to my wife so
That we may become whole together.
**********************************************
For you, my angel daughter, Marti Lo-
Monaco on your 6th angelversary. You will never be forgotten for you live forever in my heart. 4/16/62 - 11/3/09
I shed tears because you are gone,and I
smile because you lived
I close my eyes and pray that you'll
come back and I open my eyes and see all
you left,
My heart can be empty because I cant
see you, but I'm full of the love we
shared,
I can turn my back on tomorrow and live
yesterday, But I'm also happy for to-
morrow because of yesterday,
I can remember you and only that you're
gone, but I can cherish your memory and
let it live on,
I can cry and close my mind, be empty
and turn my back, but I know you'd want
me to smile, open my eyes and go on.
Through me, your memory will always live
ANTHONY REYNOLDS 10/12 The moment that you died my heart was torn in two, one side filled with heartache, the other died with you.
I often lie awake at night, when the world is fast asleep, and take a walk down memory lane, with tears upon my cheeks.
Remembering you is easy, I do it everyday, but missing you is heartache, that never goes away.
I hold you tightly within my heart, and there you will remain. Until the joyous day arrives, that we will meet again.
