To the entire Zangara Family,
We are so sorry for your loss. I remember grandma jean from running around Mike and Eileen's yard with Micheal, she always kept us in line. As a grown up her sense of humor was her trade mark. Tony always smiles when he thinks of the big laughs that came from that tiny lady.....you are all in our hearts and prayers during this sad time. In our minds eye she is always with us happy and healthy....

TO My Niece and Nephews I am so sorry for your loss, but remember your Mom will always be watching over you, you all have such wonderful memories of the family you all once knew and no one can take away your memories as they lay in your heart.
My fondest memory of Jenny was a snowy Thanksgiving eve, my Dad sent us out for fennel, had to walk 4 blocks each way we had the best conversation, she was fun and loving a great sister inlaw, I will never forget her and the week ends I used to spend at your house as a young child. The Italian fest we went we laughed till she tinkled, what fun we had that night.
Memories are what sustain us in the years to come, and you three have many,many to reflect on, I love you now and always,\
Aunt Toni

Dear Joe, Eileen and Jimmy,
I was so sad to hear of Auntie Jenny's passing. She was a very special person to me, I will always remember what she did for me when I was an abandoned baby. Sorry we did not keep in touch through the years. I still have many fond memories of the times we spent together through my childhood. Now she is in heaven with Uncle Tony. May they share eternity together. Love to all of you,
Valerie (Morrison) Dick
