What can I say about my mother, I can say I miss her now more than ever. I think in life we can remember what we do for our parents and how hard it can be at times. We try to balance our obligations to our parents and our own families and when we do our parents without saying a word are proud of us as their children. In this busy life we all live we seem to forget though that we also rely on our parents for advice and that listening ear that always seems to understand us even when no one does - because they love us! But life has a way of blinding us to what we have until it is gone. I miss you mama.

To Michael, Clorinda, Johnny and all of your family,
I am so sorry for your loss.  My thoughts and prayers are with you and your mother.  I have not seen you guys in about 20+ years but you were some of the most fun people I ever hung out with.  Hope you are all doing well, as well as can be expected.
Best Wishes,
Dana (Sorrentino) Duggan of Scituate
(I was a good friend of Darelene and Missy J and David and Gussy A - hung around with Julie C. - hope you remember me!)

Mama is my mother-in-law. I will forever remember her for her strength, wisdom & determination. I admire her and her beloved husband for all that they accomplished in their lives. And we will all miss her wit & sense of humor. Life will never be the same without her. We know that death is an enemy not only to us, but also to Jehovah God, who promises to "swallow up death forever" and bring back to life our loved ones who have fallen asleep in death. Until then, Mama, we will miss you as you rest from all your hard work. Johnny, Taylor, Kaitlyn, Christopher and I love you so much.

Eddie,
Sending my sympathy to you and your Family.
God Bless

I have known Pepezinha all my life and have fond memories of her; she was such a funny woman.  I remember many, many times she would have everyone laughing at gatherings, including at my mom's home when my grandmother passed away.  She had a gift of making people laugh and smile even at the saddest of times.  My deepest sympathies to all of her family.
