Josephine Valenti Obituary

Dear Jackie, Anna, Paul, and Michael,

I remember your mom and dad as the first people who welcomed us to the neighborhood on 73rd Court in EP when we moved there in 1960. We had so much fun with each other's families, and she was the nicest lady who opened up her house and heart to everyone. I have many fond memories of your mother as I was growing up and the many things she used to let us play, the haunted houses, the store in the garage, taking me to little league games. She was one beautiful lady and always had a smile on her face. I am sorry that I am not able to attend the wake or the mass, but please accept my sincere sympathy on the loss of your mother. God bless your families.

Our prayers and condolences go out to the Valenti children who we saw and followed them growing up over the last 50 years. Jim & Joe, our neigbors, friends were the best. It seems like only yesterday when we shared a common fence between our homes. God Bless them
and Josephine is now with her beloved Jim.

I will miss seeing Nonni at the family parties and celebrations and talking to her about her life, her pride and joy in all of you, her thoughts. She always looked so lovely whenever I saw her~~~s true lady. She had a good, interesting life and treasured all the love she received from her children, grandchildren, family and friends. These final weeks of her life had to be very challenging for you but there can be comfort knowing that she is now with her beloved fellow, looking down together on all of you. Although I can't be with you to celebrate her life at the wake and mass, my heart and prayers will be. In the end, it is only about one thing: the love we carry forward, and the love we leave behind, along with all the moments forever etched into our hearts once they begin to heal. God bless you all and I am grateful for having known her....

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
