Dear Gina & Michele  I am a neighbor of your folks and I remember Irene going to worik every day and waving to me.  I lost my husband in 2012 and she always had a smile and wave to me if I was out in the yard.

One's truth is in the memories they leave behind.Although I never met Irene I feel I knew her. From my dearest friends Stephanie and Joe, I learned of a woman with character. Of not only outward beauty but inward beauty as well. A woman who carried life's trials with strength, grace and dignity. This is her truth.

dear cousin gina,michelle, you know I am so sorry and sad for our loss,please forgive the late condolence's I was in hospital and out of it. just got on the net ,gina im writing this with tears in my eyes and if there is anything I can do please just call or text face book me and I will try whatever you ask,my state of mind is not with it  and to give you advise I wouldn't know truly what to say that would be helpful but you guys are just wonderful cousins and have been through so much and seem to deal with more so than I could as spiritual person I  am not so good at that,but I will say bless you all ,please sincerely call if I can help you in any way.it still doesn't seem real why I don't know I wish that this wasn't ..signed jimmy.

I am saddened by the death of my Aunt Irene. She was always very kind to me and we will all miss her. I have many happy memories of holidays spent with my family and my cousins in Florham Park. RIP. Sincerely, Joey

Irene was a kind woman who always put her family ahead of everything. I looked forward to spending our holidays and family celebrations with Irene, Pat, and my nieces and nephew. She will be remembered lovingly and sadly missed. RIP  Joe

Dear Gina and Michelle I loved your mom she was such a dear friend to me. I cannot imagine not speaking with her anymore. She and I went through so many things together. My only consolation is that she is with Patrick and at peace. I wish you both peace and love Im here for you just like she would be there for me.

Dear Gina & Michele, 
          We are all so saddened by the passing of your beautiful mother but together we will help each other through this time. Your mother was our sister, aunt, confidant, and friend. She didn't have a mean bone in her body and was loved by all of us. The two of you know that your loving aunts, uncles, and cousins are here for you always. This is simply what families do.   Love, Aunt Steph

Dear Palmisano's-our thoughts and prayers are with you. Anna & John Ciolek

Make sure you give this grand lady her due....for her greatness shines forth through you Gina.  Undoubtedly, her moccasins traversed paths that only she could describe. She is so worthy of the love and peace that embraces her now.

Dear Michele, Gina and family: Jim and I send our heartfelt condolences to you all.  We've known each other since you were kids in NJ and although I haven't seen much of you in many years, I have thought of you often.  It's because of your Mother that I moved to Gateway, as you know, and thanks to her, after losing Joe, my life has turned around beautifully because of meeting Jim and I will always love her for that for sure!  I think of our stores together in the "alley" in Madison with such fond memories.  She was a wonderful woman and I will always keep fond thoughts of her and you girls as well.  And, Michele, without you we wouldn't have had our babies Soxi and Patchi and I could go on and on!
Please always remember, "that the state of immortality" is "being remembered lovingly" and your Mother always will!
God Bless you all and may she rest in peace.

With love,
Marjorie and Jim

I will always love and live my life the way you would have wanted me to. You were the best mother anyone could ever ask for.
