Dan, I was sorry to hear of the loss of your Mother. I met you a while back at Maggie's and remember thinking.'that's a good guy, who so clearly loves and respects his mother and isn't shy about sharing that with total strangers'. You even showed us pictures of her. Maybe it shouldn't be unusual, but it is, and it stuck with me. You've likely been having a very tough time, and that won't end soon. Hoping it brings a tiny measure of comfort to realize that a neighbor (we were at the time, haven't run into you again) you don't even know is thinking of you.- Peace, Karen -from around the corner

Bill & Family,
I was very surprised and saddened to hear about Vita passing.  She was such a joy to talk with. I will miss seeing her at WOW everyday.

I had the pleasure of knowing Vita and Bill.  Almost every Saturday at the 4pm mass, they would attend St. Patrick-St. Anthony Church.  She always had a smile.  Most of all I will miss all of her hugs.  She certainly was a lovely woman who never complained.  I'm so sorry to hear of her passing.  My prayers and thoughts are with all of you at this very difficult time.

Dan, she was special and you were blessed to have had her through the years. I'm sure she is resting and smiling down from heaven on you. So when you miss her look up to the clouds close your eyes and you'll see her saying carry on.. Love and hugs and prayers, Cindy Sullivan

SO very sorry to hear of Vita passing.  She was a bright and loving women.  I had only known her a short time but she always made it a point to say how much she loved us at the bank.  May she rest in peace.

Caryn,

It has been a while that you and your family have been working with your mom and her being sick... Being a caregiver is so hard and now the loss makes it all the more difficult. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers and you need anything, reach out please! Much love to you!

We at Aetna were blessed when 'Vicki" returned to work with us in Rocky Hill.  She and I became friends and often enjoyed dancing the night away! Beautiful, inside and out.  She so loved her family and to all of you and her many friends, I extend my deepest sympathy.

Caryn and family, we are so sorry for the loss of your mother. Sending our prayers during this time. Vita is now pain free and is watching over her family daily from a place of incredible peace. Rejoice in her memories. Peace to her spirit.

"Aunt"-where do I begin? How do you put into words all of the lovely memories that we had. You were my second mom and you were always there for me and my family. Your love of the arts always came through-from the beautiful crocheted dresses you made for Geri and I to the lovely gardens you created at your big sister's house. You always took an interest in family and family events and attended many if not all that you were invited to. I always felt so honored to have you with me along side with my family through the years. You will be missed every day. Love, your niece, Janice

We love you and take comfort in knowing you are with God watching over us

Nana,  I am going to miss you. I am so sorry I can't be there to say goodbye. You know who loves you.

I am so sorry to hear the passing of Vita. She was a wonderful woman and loved her family dearly. She will always remain close to your hearts and treasure all the wonderful memories you had  with her. My prayers go out to all of her family

Paul and Geri,  my deepest condolences in the passing of Vita. I sure remember her from Aetna . She has always been a beautiful woman. 

May God Bless You and Your Family.   Vita is now in the comfort of our Lord.

Love Vernice Ramos.

Vita, you were class personified. You were like a second mother to me for so long. In fact, I called you Mama 2. I loved how you would try to be serious and yet I could always make you laugh. You will always have a huge part of my heart. I promise to be Caryn's friend for life and I will take care of her for you. I love you, Vita. You will be missed.
