Obituary for Samuel Rizzo

Condolence From: Janice Rizzo, Westerville, OH
Condolence: Dear Sam,

Until We Meet Again...

Today, September 5, 2022, is 24 months since our last kiss and our last hug.

I said to you, I Love You Sam... You are smiling back at me. Your eyes had a loving twinkle before you closed them forever.

Sam, those special memories of you will always bring a smile. If only I could have you back for just a little while.
Then, Sam, we could sit and talk again, drinking coffee, just like we used to do.

You always meant so very much to me and always will too. The fact you're no longer here will always cause me pain, but you're forever in my heart... Until We Meet Again.

I miss you Sam Rizzo every single day.

I Love You, Sam... Always and Forever.

Janice

Dear Sam,

My love for you doesn't go away,

Condolence: Dear Sam,

Happy Birthday! I'm baking your favorite, Chocolate Texas Sheet cake.

Those special memories of you will always bring a smile
if only I could have you back for just a little while.

Then we could sit and talk again just like we used to do
you always meant so very much and always will do too.

The fact that you're no longer here will always cause me pain
but you're forever in my heart until we meet again.

Happy Birthday! Until We Meet Again. Happy Birthday!

I Love You Sam,
Janice

Condolence: Dear Sam,

I wished that I could have you here to celebrate Christmas with me this year. I miss you so much everyday, your laugh, your smile, your kind loving ways.

I had a Christmas Card made for you and sent the card to Family and Friends. I received so many wonderful responses from everyone and they were glad you were spending Christmas with them. The Christmas Card has a picture of us with the following message on the reverse side. Our Christmas message was:

"Merry Christmas Family & Friends!

Sam passed away on September 5, 2020. Sam wished for 3 things. His third wish was to spend one more Christmas with his family and friends.

Welcoming our Christmas Card into your home, Sam's wish has come true.
Sam is spending Christmas with you.

Love, Sam & Janice Rizzo"

Condolence: Dear Sam,

I miss you. Today is ninety days since you passed away.

I never knew the meaning of true heartbreak.
I never knew I could be so lonely.

I never knew my life could change so much.
I never knew my heart could hurt this way.

I never knew I'd still be here without you.
I never knew such extreme emotional pain.

I never knew until God took you.


I Do Know... I Miss You So Much.


I Love You.

Janice

Condolence: Dear Sam,

I Miss You. Today is thirty days since you passed away.

I miss you in the morning and when the sunset fades away,
The ache within my heart just will not go away.

My heart fills with love for you when I think, how much you cared,
As I relive all the happiness and the joy we both shared.

You're with me every moment and in every move I make,
Lies the memories I have of you that I will never forsake.

Always and Forever.

I Love You.
Janice

Condolence: I remember Sam from his time in the credit union industry. He was a leader during a time when credit unions needed one. My deepest sympathies to all who knew and loved him. May he rest in the peace of Christ.

Condolence From: Tricia Palmer, CHALFONT, Pennsylvania
Condolence: Dear Janice,
Know that I will be with you in Spirit tomorrow. Stay strong and take care of yourself. I will send a picture of you and Sam at Jeff's and my wedding.
I spoke with Aunt Anne tonight and she sends her love.
Lots of love Tricia

Condolence: You were and always will be, the father of my son. In so many ways I view him as your reflection. He laughs exactly like you did and is a lawn guy, home improvement wizard in your likeness. I think the Lord distributed a very great share of your DNA to Tony!! His career has even been similar to yours!!
Janice... my heart is broken for your loss. He fought a courageous fight and managed to see all of “his people” before he passed. Take care and may all of your memories be fond and full of the love you shared.

Condolence From: Tom Rizzo, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

To live in the hearts of those who love you is not to die--so rest in peace.

Condolence From: Jim Rizzo, North Canton, OH
Condolence: My Big Brother

Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same, but as God calls us, one by one, the chain will link again.... Once a Brother, always a Brother, no matter the distance, no matter the difference, and no matter the issue..... You will be missed..... RIP Big Brother.

Condolence: Dearest Janice and brothers Tom and Jim,

Your husband and brother was one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. Though I didn’t know him long, I will never forget him and I loved his quick wit. Stay strong the three of you during this time and know that time will heal. RIP Sam.

Condolence: Dear Sam,

When I lost you... I wish I could see you one more time, driving your Rubicon into the garage and come walking through the door. But I know that is impossible, I will hear your voice and laughter no more.

I know you can feel my tears and you don't want me to cry. My heart is broken because I can't understand why someone so precious had to die so soon. We said we were going to live together, "Always and Forever".

I pray that God will give me strength and somehow get me through as I struggle with the heartache that came when I lost you.

I Love You.
Janice
