Sister Dominica was a wonderful lady. I met her when I worked at the Motherhouse for the Sisters of Mercy when I was in high school and every time I was there she greeted me with a smile and something nice to say. All us girls who worked in the switchboard grew very fond of Sister Dominica. She will be very missed.

Aunt Anna was the most thoughtful person. It never failed that every person she knew got a birthday card EVERY single year with a letter and 5 dollars in it, whether they were turning 4 or 40. LOL She was so precious and dear to all of us. Anyone who had the liberty of knowing her was truly blessed. She lived her life completely happy and completely dedicated to God. I am so sad to see her go, but joyful that she is finally in her home with God.
God bless you Aunt Anna. You will be missed more than you can imagine and forever in our hearts.
Love Always,
Jessica

Aunt Anna was wonderful dear soul who dedicated her life to God and others. She was always reaching out to offer her precious care to everyone. She came to Elmira to help my father, her brother Rocco Petocchi, who was raising 3 children alone. We were very fortunate to have Aunt Anna in our family. She was our teacher, mentor, caregiver and so much more. She will be missed beyond words but will never be forgotten. Love you forever.

We will miss our Aunt Anna immensely. She was a great caretaker of the family. She sent a card for every occasion, keeping the entire family connected. I know she touched a great many peoples lives besides our own, and she will be leave a void in many lives. God bless you Sister.
