I will treasure the Tuesday morning bowling league memories of Marie. She lit up or team with her presence and humor. We enjoyed going to lunch and having soup after. I feel honored to have called her my friend. My prayers are with her family. Peace be with us all. Carol Milke, Chicago, IL

Grandma Maita was such a lovely woman inside and out. I have so many memories of her sweet smile. Always kind and thoughtful and never a word against anyone. My thoughts and prayers are with all of the Lavorata and Rodriguez family this week.

My deepest sympathy to all of you, on the loss of your sweet and loving Mom and Grandma. I've known her since Fran and I were in high school together. She was a beautiful and lovely lady. Always treated me like I was one of her daughters. I share in your sadness now and will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
