Our sincere sympathy for your loss. She obviously was a special person for God to chose to welcome her into his kingdom on his son's birth date.

My sympathy goes out to all of our family at the loss of Auntie Philly. I will always remember my Aunt Philly for her unique humor at holidays sporting long eye lashes compliments of the Whitman Sampler candy cups on her eye lids. I regret not being able to attend services. My deepest sympathy to all. Barbie

Andrea and family. I am so sorry for your loss. What a beautiful woman she was. I feel as though I should have known her, as I spent endless summers at East Boston Social Centers ....my sister Lorraine was a counselor at Cielo and Waki for years..and then became waterfront director at day camp from EBSC. We must have crossed paths at some point. My condolences to your entire family on the loss of such a beautiful woman who has such an amazing family. God bless.
