Dear Sabrina and Nickey and John,

My heart is very saddened to know of your mother's passing away because I truly love and respect your mother. Her loving nature brought joy to my heart and mind. And, Nickey, I have never forgotten our making gnochi together at my house. I had a wonderful time.

Your mother's smiles emanated from her loving heart. Her wisdom was shared with love as your dad's wife, as your mother, as grandmother, as a friend to so many, and as an impeccable seamstress.

We will all be together in time. Her love for us remains. Her love for her Savior is satisfied.

God bless you all with His strength and comfort.

With love,

Dear Sabrina and Nicky,
Your mother was such a special woman. I feel so blessed that she was a part of my life. I have so many wonderful memories of her that I will cherish the rest of my life. I am so sad that's she's no longer her with us. She inspired me to be involved in many organizations thru her example. She has been involved in so many things that I still remember from when I first started to babysit for your family so so long ago. I truly loved her and will miss her always.

My memories of (My Godmother, Tena) From the time I was a child. She was always so kind and loving to me. She always took me with her to the
beauty shop where she worked for her friend, Ruthie. I would do small chores, and at lunch time, would send me next door to get something to eat, and get a milk shake for us. She would take me shopping, and would have
me go upstairs, where she, her brother, mom and dad lived in our building.
We would listen to popular music of the day on the old victrola 78 records.
She never thought of herself, but of others, and give her time helping other
people. She loved me so very much and I in turn loved her so very much.
She was my mentor and got a lot of guidance as to growing up in my teen years. I miss her so very much, and will be always in my heart. On various days I would go up to see her, and we would have lunch with she and her
mother. We were like sisters, and her family members were like my aunts, uncles and cousins. I went with Tena and her mother and father to all
family functions. We were real family! As a matter of fact I also babysat for
her two daughters, Sabrina and Nickie. My Dearest Godmother, you will always be with me and my prayer for you is that you will enjoy your heavenly home with God, His angels and Saints, your mom, dad, Frank, your husband,
Nino, your son, aunts, uncles, and cousins. You are now empty of all the sufferings you have endured, to gain heaven, and be free of pain, and enjoy being united with your family again.

Sabrina and Nickie, please accept our condolences on the passing of your mother, and appreciate you for all the help and time you have spent carrying for your mother during her illness. God Bless you both! Love.....Minnie and
Andy Pemenko.
