This Site contains the Family Tree of Ronald Francis Morasse Sr. and Elizabeth Frances Morasse (nee Arbisi)and their four children. Ronald (born and raised in the Bronx) and Elizabeth (born in Brooklyn and later a resident of Queens) were married on May 1, 1960. They setup house in a three, then four, room apartment in Astoria Queens, and had their first three children, Ronald Jr. Margaret and Roland in 1961, 1962 and 1964 respectively. In June of 1966 they purchased and moved to their first house in Flushing Queens, where their fourth child Elizabeth was born in 1974. Ronald Jr. married in 1984, and had his first child, Lauren Nicole in 1986. In 1988, after 22 years in their first house, Ron and Liz, as they are known to their friends, sold their home and moved to Westbury Long Island where they purchased a larger home, better suited to accomodate the needs of Elizabeth, who is handicapped. Currently, they reside in their Westbury Home with Elizabeth. Ronald Jr. now has three childen, Margaret two and Roland has been married and divorced. It is our intent to complete our family tree, for ourselves, our children, their spouses and all of our relatives to the most detail we can. Our thanks to David L. Carmody for his information on the Bernardo family. His Family Tree can be viewed at: http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/c/a/r/David-L-Carmody/index.html Our cousin Ellen Birkland has created a Morasse Family Tree and she has done a good bit of research into my Grand-father's parents and siblings. Her work can be seen at: http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/b/i/r/Ellen-M-Birkland/index.html In Memorium - As many of you know, on May 29th 2003, the Feast of the Ascension of Our Lord, my beloved wife Elizabeth passed into eternal rest, exactly four weeks after we celebrated our 43rd wedding anniversary. In March, Liz’s health took a turn for the worse as her chemo stopped working and the tumors that had spread to her lungs began to grow. We had hoped that a new chemo, being released in May would make the difference, but the cancer progressed too rapidly and all drugs failed to stop the disease. She entered the hospital the day after Easter to have fluid removed from her lung cavity and came home after three weeks for Mother’s Day. But the progress made by her doctors was not enough and she returned to the hospital after being home only one week. Two weeks later, she died peacefully with all of us at her side. The children and I are proud of Liz; proud of the courageous battle against Pancreatic Cancer that she waged for five years with dignity and without complaint, living a full life during her battle with cancer, continuing to work and function as a loving wife, mother and grand-mother, and to do all that she wanted to do including travel to Medugorje in 2001. Liz did not let this disease beat her; considering the gravity of Pancreatic Cancer and the life she lived, she was in control, not the disease. She never let her illness interfere with her or hold her back. And with the grace of God, she lived those five years in comfort and enjoyment. We are proud also of the life she lived, the person she was and the respect and dignity she deserved and received from her relatives, friends, co-workers and acquaintances as attested to by the multitudes who paid their respect in person or otherwise and the kind and consoling words all had to say of her. We grieve and miss her, but we are selfish. She has received the reward she deserved and rests in a far better place forever more. We thank all of you who have been caring and praying for the past five years. I’m sure the reason for her having done so well is directly related to your concern and prayers. And again, we thank all who expressed their condolences and memorialized Liz by word, deed, flowers, cards or otherwise. Liz will live on in our hearts, in our memories and in these pages as the children and I continue the work she started. |
