Great Aunt Florence was one of a kind. I always enjoyed when my Dad would take me for a visit with her. I definitely miss her personality, and if I´m being honest her cooking as well. I love you Flo!

Dear Mr.Lullo and My Dearest Friend Johnny,
While no words of mine can ease your loss, I just wanted you to know that I am grieving with you and thinking of you during this difficult time. Your Mother/Grandmother was loved by all who had the privilege of meeting her. She was every kids Grandma. She was one of a kind. I will always remember how she would make you feel so welcomed in her home when you would stop in to visit with her. Always something good cooking when you walked in and then she would make you sit and eat some of her best cakes, apple pies and that delicious Roast Beef! You would never leave empty handed either, she would always pull something out that you might need. A Tape to watch on TV, a Barbie Doll, some tools....I can go on and on about her generosity. I hope that you find some comfort in your many special memories that you shared over the years. May the love of family and friends comfort and strengthen all of you in the days ahead.
I hope this poem that I share with you helps you as much as it has helped me after the loss of my father. My deepest sympathy to all of you.
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all about what God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is over.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Duke, John, and Diane,
We go back a long time. Not only my mother with your mother, but with my brother Louis working with her at Borg Warner and my mother-in-law playing cards by her house every week. Your mom was a special lady and loved by everyone. I always talked about her to John Jr. and how he loved his grandma. She was a true grandma. I always said she was my idol and I want to be like her and live as long as her.
God Bless all of you.
