Nonnie, almost 10 months have passed now - its still so hard to believe. I know you are watching over us & hope that we are making you proud! Miss your smile, your voice, YOUR SOUP (and pizza bread) , but most of all, your company. I hope you and Nonno are very much at peace together. Donny & Brittany's wedding is in a few short weeks, watch over them on their big day! I love you Nonnie.

Mom: 8 months ago God called you home. They say that time heals all wounds but losing you caused a wound that will never heal. I love and miss you very, very much.

Luke 23:43

King James Version (KJV)

And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.

Bob and Don,
The world lost one of it's sweetest and nicest people with the passing of your mom. Always thinking about and worrying about others, never herself. Your mom and I had many good chats and laughs and I will really miss them. Your mom and you and your families are in my daily prayers.

Having the privilege of knowing grandson Michael, I feel quite certain that she passed quickly through the Pearly Gates for her superior support and guidance for all that knew her. All were better people for having known her!
