Today we come together to focus our attention on Salvatore Marchese who passed on September 23, 2010.
Dear Prayer Giver,
Take a moment to sit down and bring all of your awareness into this sacred present moment. Allow your thoughts and cares of the day slip away from you now as you enter the present moment completely. Slowly take in a deep breath and slowly let the breath out; breathing in deeply and exhaling fully. And again, inhale slowly and exhale thoroughly.
As you read these words, take the time to really feel and think about what you are saying, for this is indeed a sacred moment.
Dear Salvatore, We The Prayer Team, are with you now in thought and spirit. We send you energy and love from our souls to yours and we pray that you will feel it and know how very loved you are.
Meditation/Visualization: —continue to sit comfortably and allow yourself to be here in the present moment, letting go of your cares and worries of the day.
Now, bring all of your attention to the tip of your nose and imagine that you are the gatekeeper at the gates of a big city and that it is your very important job to watch the coming and the going of your breath. Simply focus all your concentration at the tip of your nose and observe your breath as it enters and leaves you.
As you breathe-in, focus on the feeling of the breath as it enters your nostrils
As you breathe-out, focus on the feeling of the breath as it leaves your nostrils
Breathing-in feel the breath coming into you
Breathing-out feel the breath as it leaves you.
Continue to focus on your breathing
If your mind wanders away going off into thought (which is common in meditation) gently bring your focus back to the tip of your nose and resume your position as gatekeeper, watching the coming and going of your breath.
As you breathe-in feel the cool air as it enters your nostrils
As you breathe-out feel the warm air as it leaves your nostrils
Breathing-in cool, breathing-out warm
Breathing-in cool, breathing-out warm
In cool, out warm…in cool, out warm.
Now as you breathe-in, envision Salvatore
standing in the light before you
As you breathe-out, envision Salvatore looking vibrant and well
As you inhale, envision drawing energy into you
As you exhale envision directing that energy to Salvatore
As you inhale continue to visualize energy entering into you
As you exhale see this energy flowing outward from you and surrounding Salvatore
Bathing him in light and loving energy
See him surrounded by energy
See him smiling
See him laughing
See that he is happy and free.
As you breathe-in feel that you are strengthened by this energy
As you breathe-out direct this feeling of strength to Salvatore’s family
As you breathe-in draw peace into yourself
As you exhale send that feeling of peace to Salvatore’s family.
Dear Salvatore, We all see you smiling and glowing in the light. May you know that LOVE, the one universal sustaining force, is being sent to you right now and always will be. May you feel it and know that love is without end. You will always be loved and you will always be remembered. Love to you dear one. Peace be with you Salvatore. We love you, The Prayer Team.
To Salvatore and Family: May you be lifted with all the thoughts and prayers today. Know that Salvatore is very close and feeling the love.

To my beautiful Son, I will love you forever….you brought joy to my life and are the most beautfiul soul. I thank God and you for giving me the honor to be your Mom. My love for you is forever and I will always keep your beautiful memory alive for your son… love you today, tomorrow and forever Mom
Dear Patty and Family–it’s so strange that we became friends here on FB and then I realized that Sal passed on same date as my children’s father, but he’s been gone for 18 years. My prayers are with your family. for some reason I feel so much compassion and empathy for you at this time and I’m sorry for the pain you are going through.
To Salvatore, may you feel the love and prayers lifting your soul ever higher. To Patty and the rest of Salvatore’s family and loved ones, may it comfort you to know that the prayers of many are with you on this challenging first anniversary. You will all be reunited soon, and forevermore. Love, Geraldine
Sal, I know that you’re in Heaven watching over your Mom, Dad, Blake, Rianna and Baby Sal. I only got to know you for a short time, but in that short time found that you were a great guy who would do anything for anyone. I also know that you were — and still are — loved more than you could ever realize. My prayers will be with your family on this difficult day. Keep watching over them to help them stay strong. xxoo Kathy Dee
To Salvatore and to Patty, I send you both prayers and love on this difficult day. Patty, may you feel your beloved son near to you today and everyday, and may he be surrounded by light and love. However long it is until we are reunited with our children, I hope it will only seem as a twinkle of an eye when compared to the time that our souls will be together with those who we love.
God bless

Sal, you are missed dearly. You were such a gentle and loving person that to lose you is painful. But one thing I know is that God only takes the best and you sure are an angel. I pray for you everyday. I miss you, I miss your smile, I miss your hugs but I know you are in a better place. Our family is so strong, you would be so proud of your mom and sister…they truly are amazing! I promise to keep your memory alive forever in my heart and I can’t wait to share those memories with my little girls. Aunt Patty and Blake, I am praying especially hard for you today. May you be filled with love and beautiful memories. I love you all and I pray that peace finds you.
Love Cousin Chrissy, Pat, Angelina and Gabriella

Missing you always, remembering you forever.
May you find your loved one, Salvatore, in every silence….Quietly watch and feel him with you and bow your head as his presence fills you. They are with us in a new way! I have said my prayers that you find peace until you see your loved one again.
Heavenly Father,
I humbly come to you and pray that you will wrap the family, friends and community of Salvatore in a blanket of comfort as they reflect on the precious life you created and gave eternal life. As a mother who has lost a son, I understand their loss and I pray they will find peace knowing that this child of God is sitting at the feet of Jesus listening intently as he has all of his questions answered. I pray that the heavenly trumpets are playing a special song for him and the streets paved with gold lead him on beautiful, heavenly journeys. I pray the family will turn to you in their grief and allow you to carry them through these difficult days where they miss their precious child. I pray all these things in your heavenly name. Amen.
As a mother who has lost a son , i know how difficult it gets on days like this , i hope Salvatore gives you the strengh to cope on such a difficult day . Im sending his parents family and friends all my love and my prayers . Oue precious children are always at our side , they are our essence , we will see them one day and nothing whatsoever will separate us . Love Peace and Light . Maty . Chris mom
Sending thoughts and prayers to Salvorte’s friends and family.
Peace, love and light.
To Salvatore’s beloved family and friends. May God wrap you in his loving arms on this most difficult day and bring you some peace. We will all be reunited with our angel children one day.
Hugs from Shirley – mom of Dimitri 7/13/87 to 8/9/10
Sal,
I know you’re an angel in Heaven smiling down at your mom, your sister, your son & your family. Please give them the strength they need to stay strong. We all miss you terribly.
We knew little that morning that God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone; for part of us went with you the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide, and though we cannot see you, you are always by our side. But we know that like a candle your lovely light will surely shine to brighten up another place more perfect… more divine. And in the realm of Heaven where they shine so warm and bright. Our loved ones live forevermore in God’s eternal light.
XOXO

Dearest Salvatore and your Precious Family,
We are sending much Love and Light on this first crossing of your Angel day. This is a very difficult day for those who are missing your smile and your voice. May your hearts feel each other and know how close you really are still. I love the song that says “a breath away’s not far from where you are”. From our hearts to all of yours as we wait for the day of sweet reunion with our Precious Children.
