I remember Carmella Calabrese from when I was a little girl as a tiny, kind, caring woman. She was a lovng wife and mother and it was obvious her family was as devoted to her as she was to them.

Mrs. Calabrese was truly one of the most open and giving human beings I have ever met. I am so blessed that I was able to know her. I often think about all the amazing meals she cooked, not only for family, but for others as well. She was the example for all of us to follow and I know heaven just received one of the most special angels.
Proverbs 31:26 She opens her mouth with wisdom, and loving instruction is on her tongue.
27 She watches over the activities of her household and is never idle.
28 Her sons rise up and call her blessed. Her husband also praises her.
29 Many women are capable, but you surpass them all! Rest in Peace Mrs Calabrese and Thank you.

Mrs. Calabrese was a very wonderful person. Our prayers are with you and your family.
