Our deepest sympathy to all of the family for your loss of Aunt Dee. We are sorry we could not be there for the services.



I was privileged to have Aunt Dee as my Godmother for my Baptism (Kathy).



May she rest in peace with Uncle Frank and the angels.

Dear Sister Dee,



"In life and in death we belong to the Lord."



I know you are spending Christmas with Jesus this year.



Until we meet again, find peace in the Lord's praying hands.



You are forever in my heart.



Your Sister,

Madeline (DeSio) Sangosti

I will be thankful every day for the rest of my life that I had what most people long for, a person to love them purely and selflessly no matter what. I know now that mama is happy and where she deserves to be for all eternity. I know one day we will all meet again and until that day mama lives on in all of those she loved.

Although I did not see Dolores very often, when I did she was always so nice and a pleasure to be around. She was a kind woman who loved and cared for her family very much. She will be greatly missed. My deepest sympathy to her entire family.



Love,

Jennifer
