Joe F. Lillo

Hey Daddy! Tomorrow will be your 78th Birthday. Wish I could send you a cake to celebrate. I remember how every year on your birthday you would call me & tell me how noone got you a cake. Then later I would find out from Mom that someone had finally brought you one. Miss you & Mom so much! I think of you both every day! Alot has been happening here lately & just wish I could get a hug from YOU & MOM right now. I know you are always here with me so guess I will have to settle for that right now. Have a HAPPY BIRTHDAY & you & Mom be happy. Love you & will see you both soon. Kath!

Hey Daddy, Its been a long time. Still missing you like crazy and loving you more. I think of you and Mom all the time. Be happy and know we will see each other soon. Hugs & kisses!!!

But I’m perfectly happy knowing you two are together again, and thank GOD everyday neither of you are hurting anymore.

Hey Daddy,
It is so hard to believe tomorrow will be 11 months that you have been gone. This year has gone by so fast, and all kinds of weird things happening. Just wanted you to know I was thinking of you as always and remembered how long ago you left me,physically that is. In my heart YOU will always be till I am there with you and MOM.LOVE & MISS you, DADDY!!!!!xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Hey DADDY,
Just stopped in to say hi and let you know I think of you often. There has been so much going on here as I am sure you know. But I have faith in my GOD and you of course that everything is going to work out.Even tho you are not here on earth with me I FEEL YOU around me always. And that is such a great feeling!!! I know in my heart of hearts that there could never have been a greater DAD than you. I will LOVE and MISS you the rest of my life.With you in my life I feel everything is possible so please keep showing me the WAY. LOVE and MISS you always, Kath

Hi DADDY,
Sitting here thinking of you as I so very often do and wishing for just a few seconds you were here with me.DADDY I miss you so much. It is hard to believe that in 2 months it will be 1 year that you left me. When you and MOM left my world as I knew it came to an end. If only you knew how hard I fight every day to keep my own sanity. You was my BIG OAK TREE that protected me from everything. Now that you and MOM are gone I have no protection from anything. I have no MOM or DAD so i actually have no family left. I feel so blessed to have Jr the girls and my grandbabies. I love them more than life but its not the same.I really miss you DADDY! I really really do!!!!!xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Bod and Gina…sorry to hear of the passing of your father. Joe was a great guy!…It has not been a good year with this and the passing of Kelly…peace Matt Wallace

Gone away with a friend
As I looked into the face of an old saint of God,
I thought he raised and he did.
Separated for the present but soon to meet again and he’s only gone away with a friend.
Gone away with a friend,
someone closer than a brother,
someone who loves me more than children, dad, or mother
he holds my very soul in the palm of his hand, let it read on my tomb stone, gone away with a friend.
” now he’s my constant companion,
through life’s joy and pain all my hopes and my tears i hold in his dear name,
And when my soul breaks free from the ties that hold me here gone
away with Jesus, no greater friend so dear.
I love You Dad! R.I.P…May 16, 1935 – Oct. 14, 2008

MY DADDY’S HOME
My daddy’s went home to a mansion in the sky. It too all I had to let him die. He was like an oak tree, strong and tall. Standing by his side, I had no fears at all. But now he’s gone to his final rest. He left me with memories, he was the best. No more pain, no more sorrow. For now I know he will always have tomorrow.. My daddy was everything you see, but I had to realize it was no longer meant to be. He was only on loan from Jesus to me. And now he’s home safe and free.
I love you daddy
your daughter,
Kathy

Gina I am so sorry to hear of your loss. It has been a rough month for us also. I feel lost without my dad. The holidays will be differant and depressing. But I am glad our dad’s are not suffering anymore. They are healed there in heaven. If you ever need anyone to talk to you can call me. 440-653-9163. I will pray for you and your family.
God bless,
Lisa

I didn’t know you all that well but thank you for a warm welcome when my sisters and I would come to your home. We have a great step-dad who is so wonderful, helpful, and giving, and I know he learned it all from you!
My thoughts and prayers go out to your family.

Joe, you were a wonderful man, a father, husband, and in-law. Thanks you so much for taking care of my sister, Betty. Love you, and going to miss you. Wish we could be there, R.I.P.

Lillo Family, We are so sorry for your loss. May the Lord bless you in your time of sorrow. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

To the Lillo Family, Our deepest sympathy goes out to all of you during this difficult time. May you all find peace in God and His word. Matthew 5:4 Blessed are they that mourn; for they shall be comforted. God Bless

Terry and Randy,
Words can not express the feeling you have when you lose such a dear loved one.I know that the pain will be replaced with happy memories over time. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Gina and family, I’ve known your family since we were young.I’m really sorry to hear of your dad’s passing, he was a great guy the world will surely miss him,God Bless You All, Sondra

I’M FREE

Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free
I’m following the path God has chosen for me.
I took His hand when I heard him call;
I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way;
I’ve now found peace at the end of day.

If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joys.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss;
Oh yes, these things, I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow
Look for the sunshine of tomorrow.

My life’s been full, I savored much;
Good friends, good times, a loved ones touch.
Perhaps my time seems all to brief;
Don’t lengthen your pain with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and peace to thee,
God wanted me now-He set me free…missing you more than you will ever know…I miss the drives to the dialysis center to pick up mom…I miss your HELLO when I called you on the phone…I miss making those drinks to bring to you every morning…I miss seeing you sitting in your favorite recliner…Oh & have I ever told you ….you are my HERO? I love you Dad & you will always have a BIG part of my heart!!! your Baby Girl..Gina

hi dad-i love you-i want to thank you so much for being the best dad that i could ever ask for. mom misses you so much-life isn’t going to be the same for her,me, or any of us without you here with us. i dreamed of you last night and in my dream you were 30 years younger, just the way i imagine you to be right now in heaven walking with jesus. i remember that song from the 70’s called ramblin man, and everytime i would hear that it would remind me of you.so many things remind me of you,you are all over this town,everywhere i look i see you and i will never forget you. i will never forget that i had the best dad in the world, and in my heart still do. so you rest dad knowing that we are going to take care of mom for you from now until she can join you in heaven one day, and then once again you can both be truly happy again. i love you always & forever. your daughter brenda

My Dear Wonderful Daddy,
I miss you so very much. It hurts so bad, but my hurt doesn’t show; because I know you are not here hanging on suffering. God has comforted me in a way that I can rest knowing you are somewhere where there is peace. You are with family that has gone before you, so that you are not alone.
I was sitting outside tonight talking to you,and when the leaves on the trees started to rustle but there was not even a breeze blowing, I knew you had come to check on me. I went inside with such a peaceful feeling.
I am so glad I came home in time to get to tell you how very much I love you and how thankful I am that God gave me you for a dad. I am and always will be proud that you are my dad; the most wonderful dad in the whole universe. You loved me, sheltered me, fed me, clothed me, and always made sure I had what I needed. And yes, now I truly believe God only takes the very best.
So to you my daddy, I bid you farewell, until I see you again.
Love and miss you,
Kathy

To the Lillo family: My thoughts,prayers and sympathy are with you all in this moment of your grief. Joe and my dad,Burchel Sexton were friends and dad had good thoughts of him.
A Memory Hug….Your loss left a hole in your heart. That hole never goes away-you learn to live with it. With acceptance of the loss and changes in your life,the pain lessens. Eventally, memories fill up the space, but it never goes away. Then,when you least expect it,a memory spills out of the hole in your heart and washes you clean again with tears. Think of it as a Memory Hug.

Joe, I only knew you for a short time but you caught my heart the day we met. When we came to visit I saw Betty look at you intently and hang on every word you would say. To me the look was that of a love that had grown for over 50 years marriage. I find myself doing the same thing to your eldest son Joe Jr. I never got the chance to thank you for raising such a wonderful man I now call my husband. So to all who read this and to whomever I see, I’ll tell them what a fine job you did Joe, and thank you again. you WILL be tenderly missed. love, Mickey

I would like you to know, I am thinking of your family. Sorry to hear about your husband and father’s passing.
I know it’s a hard thing to go through, wishing your family peace and comfort, May God”s blessings be with you!!
Love Donna Roof (Robinson)

Just wanted to send my condolences to the entire Lillo family. I am sorry to hear of your loss in such a great man. You are in my thoughts.

Joe,
I love you and miss you terribly. I walked into the house today and expected to see you in your recliner and hear you yell out a hello. You may not have known, but I thought the world of you; I still do. You made me feel so welcome from the first moment I met you, like a part of the family. Every time Brenda and I would come to visit,you would tell me to get some cookies from the jar, a cold pop from the fridge, a popsicle from the freezer… You were such such a kind and generous man. I feel so blessed to have known you and so thankful that I got to tell you goodbye.
I love you,
Nik

Gina and family, So sorry to see your dad has passed away. I always enjoyed waiting on him at work when he would come in and get his license tags renewed. Your family is in my thoughts and prayer…God Bless.. Delana

Joe, knowing that Jesus Christ is your redeemer and hope, and mine, makes this a celebration. I will cry many tears with Gina saying goodby to you but I will sing more praises and smile bigger smiles and laugh louder and thank God the Father all the more for knowing you are with The Chrsit now and forever and we see you again soon when He comes to get His own…God Bless, Big guy,you mabe life better by knowing you. Love you and see you soon…dan
