It is very sad to hear that this world has lost a wonderful person such as Santa. It was a great opportunity to work with Santa several years ago when I lived in Schaumburg. Santa was always kind and thoughtful with a heart of gold. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this sorrowful time.

Dear Jon and the entire Weiner Family,



You have all of our love and support for whatever you need. Remember you will never be alone, all you have to do is look to any of us to be there for you and she'll always be there for you all you have to do is feel her in your heart. I'm so sorry for you all, I remember how it can be at times. Remember her as the women she was, not as the sickness that took her from you.

Your all in our hearts!

You have been in our thoughts and prayers for a long time. Pam has kept us informed of Santa's illness and it saddened us every time we heard she was back in treatment.



Santa was a very special person and we will miss her beautiful smile and laugh. Our hearts go out to you and your family and also Phil, Cheryl and Donna.



Peace be with you all.

To the sister of Santa LiManni:

Dear Donna, It has been a lot of years since grammar school and high school and perhaps you won't even remember me, but I remember you and Santa. I did not know Santa was ill until about 1 month ago. Linda DiVecchio(Rotunno) had mentioned it to me. I am so sorry you lost her. If you should need anything or want to keep in touch please call me. My heart goes out to you. With deepest sympathy.
