Eddie Frankie Carmela and Family
My deepest condolences sent to you all.
Friday night my former coworker and good friend Herminia Badillo became an Angel . I’m so saddened by this lose my heart hurts but relieved that you are not suffering anymore. You were a fighter till the end and I know you were comfortable according to your husbands phone calls during the past few weeks we spoke.
We were a team at work and good friends that became family. We both went through so much happiness sickness good and bad all the years we knew each other. You loved your family all of them just the way you could and worried about each and everyone of them.
When you retired I still kept in touch by phone and was so happy that we still were able to share stories of our families our coworkers our health issues and just kept our spirits up and moved forward.
When your Grand babies came you were so excited. She was a wonderful grandma and always proud of their accomplishments during school or teams that you joined. She loved all three of you and was so happy.
I finally got to see you a few years back when a cousin of mine got married and the place was not far from your home. That day when you invited me my mom and brother to your home was so so awesome seeing you and hugging you and Eddie your husband. Felt so heartwarming to be able to spend a hour with you.
We shared deaths births birthdays sicknesses and we also survived the 911 challenges together. Your son and his family were your pride and joy. I felt like I knew all your immediate family we spoke about each and everyone of them. we spoke about your hubby your sisters nieces nephews each and everyone that was amazing. The way you spoke about them all made me know them even though I didn’t meet them in person and I think you felt the same way on my end.
I called you last year July 25 and didn’t realize that is was your actual birthday and I try never to forget like you always remembered mine but that day we spoke and I didn’t know until afterwards seeing your Facebook page. It was meant to be that I gave you a call. We spoke a few times after and then I got the call from Eddie about your condition and I prayed that you would be okay but I guess God needed you there last night with him.
With tears in my eyes and I know you will watch over your beautiful family and give your hubby your son your daughter in-law and grandchildren the strength to get through this difficult time.
I pray for you to be and Rest In Peace today and always
will miss you my friend
Stay well and love you always
I’ll finish as you always finished your phone call to me Love you Joseph that will always stay in my heart
Don’t know if I can come say goodbye to you in person but I will send up a kiss and hug in heaven so it will reach you. say hello to Froilan our other coworker who left us too soon
