Dearest Rocco, Antonio, Michelle and Nicola,
Growing up I have many memories of visits to Mama Mia's as well as many others, I remember holding Antonia as a baby and I remember our Walker Family reunions and ohh how everybody loved to get together and laugh and catch up. We haven't seen each other in a while and I am sorry for that. When I heard the news my heart and love instantly went out to surround you during this most tragic of times. Your wife and mother always had a smile and we always enjoyed the little times we had with all of you. You are a very loving family and I know you will find the strength to keep going on one day a time. I am Donna's oldest daughter Missy and I will provide you with my email information, when you are ready or if you ever want to vent please reach out to me, I would love to have our family relationship grow stronger. I too lost my father at a young age, so while I can't possibly no all that you are experiencing, I have some idea. Please get in touch when you are ready, and please remember I am thinking of you and sending my prayers and hugs to each of you everyday.
Love Missy (Donna's Oldest Daughter)

Having experienced the passing of my mother, I know all the well wishes and kind words, however sincere, don't touch the pain in your hearts now and won't for a long time. The death of one so important in your lives changes you forever. You will wonder if your lives will ever go back to normal. As you realize that can never happen, in time you will come to find your new normal, and with much more time, your loss will become more tolerable, but there will always be a delicate spot in your hearts. God bless all of you and may you find comfort in each other.
Hugs and prayers to all!

I am extremely grateful to have been a member of the Walker family since 1965. Pat was my cousin through marriage and whether we saw each other frequently or not it was always so special to hug her & reminisce! We always laughed & got silly just like the old days. There are no words to express my grief & emotions to the family & the tragic, terribly loss it brings to all. I am so deeply sorry from my entire family to theirs from our innermost hearts.I hope this prayer from St. Francis helps: Lord, make me an instrument of your Peace. Where there is hatred--let me sow Love. Where there is injury--Pardon. Where there is doubt--Faith. Where there is despair--Hope. Where there is darkness--Light. Where there is sadness--Joy. Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled--as to console. To be understood--as to understand. To be loved--as to love. For it is in giving--that we receive. It is in pardoning--that we are pardoned. It is in dying--that we are born to eternal life. God bless you all with love, strength, & hope.

We were absolutely devestated to hear about Pat's tragic passing. Our daughter Ashlie is just heartsick thinking about her Mama Mia's "mom" and how much she will miss her. She had a wonderfully kind spirit that was felt by many. Our deepest sorrow and heartfelt prayers go out to all who were lucky enough to have known such a wonderful lady. God Bless.

Our prayers and thoughts are with the Caniglia family at this terrible time. Our son, Mike Wright, worked for Rocko and Pat at Mama Mia's and we spent many a night there eating pizza and playing the juke box, Pac Man, and dining with friends. We will never forget how much they influenced Mike with their fantastic work effort and great culinary skills.
Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help in this terrible time.
