The Prodigal House Foundation will forever keep the memory of Frank Lo Scalzo who earned his angel wings on November 30th at the age of 41.

Frank is the guy that you are happy to have marry into your family because he was loyal, loving and caring - respectful with old school values. He made a perfect match for my cousin, Tiffany. Together, they created a beautiful family with their son Santino.

Frank enjoyed entertaining people through his dancing and his antics. You would be hard pressed to find a picture of Frank in which he doesn’t have a smile on his face. He loved being silly with his wife and friends in order to put a smile on other people’s faces, too.

Frank’s spirit was so full of life and love that it is almost incomprehensible to accept that his physical presence has been taken from us. Yet, I believe his soul is still very much alive. He will forever be at Tiffany’s side and vigilant guardian angel of his son. We pray he wraps his angel wings around his mother Gail to embrace her in the hopes of her feeling his presence. May he also provide comfort to his brother, Dante and all of his family and friends who have been touched by his life. May God provide eternal peace to Frank. We will see him again ❤️‍🔥

🙏❤️‍🔥 Please keep his family in your prayers as they gather to celebrate his life and strengthen each other in their time of sorrow ❤️‍🔥🙏

With heavy hearts, The Prodigal House Foundation lifts up another young soul who left this world for the more perfect one. On October 22, Nick Gomez went to embrace his Grandmother, Elaine Ferrara and go fishing with his best friend, Dom Varalli. Please keep his family, my good friends, in your prayers, especially his mother Roseann, his sister Gianna, grandfather Joe Ferrara, Aunt Marialaina, uncles Benny & John Ferrara. Nick was the proud loving Godfather of his nephew Christian and loving uncle of David. For all the Gomez & Ferrara families, and for all Nick’s friends who will miss him, please remember them this Saturday as we lay his physical body to rest. His spiritual presence will continue to be felt as his love will remain alive in the hearts of all who love him. His journey on this Earth is complete. I truly believe we will see him again in the joy of paradise. Until then, may our faith be our consolation. Nick will forever be remembered in the Prodigal House Foundation, Inc.

16 Years of Commemorating Young Souls. A total of 329 ranging from new born to age 50. They all returned to the Lord in many different ways, but they returned learning something and having taught us something. What I am most grateful for, is that they taught me love never dies. I hold them in my heart, especially the 62 angels in this video whose life and/or death touched my life profoundly ❤️‍🔥

Today marks 25 years since Christopher J Grosso crossed to the other side. What I have come to realize is that 25 years doesn’t mean it hurts less or they are missed less. It just means - 25 years of missing and hurting, while placing meaning on our lives, loving those close us, and realizing one day at a time is one day closer.

My thoughts and prayers today are with his parents, Jim and Karen, brothers Jimi and Brandon, grandparents Russell and Connie, Aunt Lexie and the entire Grosso and Kosofsky families ❤️

No one will argue that Sonny DiStefano was a unique individual and a person who, as one of his peers remarked, “the realest person in the room.” He was bright, well spoken and loyal. The struggle is now over for him as he crossed over from this world to the next on November 11, 2021. Sonny is the beloved son of his mother, Jackie and father Sonny. He will be sorely missed by his sister Gail. The greatest gift he left to us is his 4 sons. We pray that Sonny will guard them from above and that they may always feel his presence.

Addiction eclipses our greatest gifts and the demons we wrestle with prevent us from reaching our true potential on this side of paradise. Despite this, Sonny had an impact on many lives and will never be forgotten.

Please keep his family in your prayers at this time and always. We will never forget him and always remember him, especially to his sons. May the peace that Sonny desired in this world now be his in God’s loving embrace ❤️‍🔥

Jo Jo lived at the Prodigal House in Glassboro back in 2007. Services are at Egizi Funeral Home Friday evening and at Holy Family Church on Saturday. We pray his soul is at peace as his spirit will always be remembered in our Prodigal House Family.

On August 4th, two young souls were taken. Brian McCormick of of Williamstown joined his mother and his brother James in heaven. He leaves behind a beautiful little boy, Brian McCormick, Jr.

Brian expressed himself in music and lyrics. He was creative and deep. He had a lot of loss in his life, but was a very sensitive and caring individual. He was raised by his Aunt Tina and her husband Tim and was like a brother to their children, Nichole, Timmy and Dane. I am comforted in knowing that Brian never feared death but rather looked at it as a place of peace and connection. We pray he will connect with his family but up in heaven and down on Earth, especially as a guardian angel to his son. Brian was 29 years-old. May the peace he looked forward to be his in abundance.

Yesterday, the Prodigal House Foundation received the most heart-wrenching news of the passing of Gianna Marie Palladino. She is the daughter of George and Lillian Palladino, who are members of the Comfort Club and have their two sons, George (2006) and Nick (2016) already commemorated in the Prodigal House Foundation. Now, their baby girl joins her two older brothers in heaven. She loved and missed them dearly - she looked forward to that day she would be reunited with them.

There are not much words to say hear. We were all hoping and praying that this would not be the end result after Gianna's car accident a few weeks ago. That a beautiful family, two kind and generous parents would lose all three of their children.

Please hold George and Lillian in your prayers. I hope is that their 3 Angels will wrap them ever so tightly in their loving embrace that they feel their presence constantly.

It’s hard to believe that it is 25 years since Nina Borgesi became an angel. To anyone who knew her, you couldn’t help but love her - what a personality! Her death - her murder - was the first time I experienced the impact of the death of a young person on the family, especially the parents. Nina’s parents, Frank and Beverly have been friends of mine for years. How their life changed in one instant was unreal. She had three brothers who loved her, Frank, Mark and Johnny and a large extended family - a tight knit and loving family. Her death was actually the beginning for me of what turned out to me a lifetime of ministry and remembrance of these young souls and making connections to both their soul and to their families. Nina was the first. And now 25 years later and over 200 young souls and devastated families since, I have learned so much yet so little. There is never closure and you don’t get over it. You live with a piece of your heart in heaven and days of your lives in hell. We also learn we can’t stay in either place too long because there are still people around us who love us and we love them. It’s the circle of life.

God Bless the Borgesi family ❤️🙏
