To all those related to my former neighbor Betty Filburn I extend my deepest heartfelt sympathy to you. Betty was a wonderful woman and a dear and caring friend. She always had a smile for me and my family. We had many talks over the decades when she lived in West Newton. The best advice she ever gave me came after my first wife Carol Cicci passed away. I asked her how do you get over the grief of the loss of a loved one? She replied, you never do. You just learn how to deal with it. Those were very powerful words and I hope you will all remember them as they are pearls of wisdom borne from experience. Grief may come in waves , but they will go away for a while. When they come back you will figure out how to handle them. So it will be with the loss of Betty. The world lost a dear soul but God has a new child in Heaven. God bless you all. Frank Cicci

My deepest condolences to the Filbern family. I hope knowing that God cares for you and sees your pain brings you comfort during this difficult time. May you also find comfort in God's promise to resurrect our loved ones to life in a paradise earth. (John 5:28, Revelation 21:3 & 4) My thoughts are with you all.

I weep for a time shared with you...past but not forgotten. The joy you brought to us all in the stories you shared, the games you made, and the songs that you sang and hummed...taking us to a place that no one else could because there was no one like you. To the person that defined the word "sure" as a term of endearment, thank you for helping make me who I am. You helped me be confident in a world where others fill themselves by attempting to empty others.

I have felt you with me the last few days and it has given me peace to know you have gone to be with the Lord you so humbly served. Thank you for touching my life.

I don't need to miss that which is a part of me...I love you Mum Mum.

Although I have not seen Mum Mum in many years, she is forever in my heart. I remember as a little girl going to visit her in West Newton and seeing her beautiful smile and arms welcoming me. It is one of my precious memories and she will be missed.
