Christine Caldarulo Obituary

Caldarulo, Christine "The Lady" Christine "The Lady" Caldarulo, age 72 of Forest Park, left for heaven September 6, 2011 from her home, with her family at her side.

She has joined our Lord and her son Christopher in Heaven. Christine is survived by her children Connie (Rey) Diaz, Caryn Caldarulo (Alfonso) and grandchildren Rey Michael, Anthony Christopher and Joey. Family and friends will be received for a visitation Saturday 12PM until the beginning of a 3PM funeral service at Woodlawn Funeral Home, 7750 W. Cermak Rd., Forest Park.

To the Family,
I didn't know Mrs. Caldarulo, but we should all be so fortunate to know someone like her, and have such beautiful words written about us. Please find comfort in reading Exodus 34:6.
