Dear Anita, I think of you and speak of you often. It is so hard to believe a year has past. You were always so willing to help, and just enjoy family and friends. Thanks to your example, and my Mom's, my generation has a wealth of caring individuals to pass along the meaning of family and friendship. We lost Joe's Mom Emily a few days ago. She died 3 days after the 4th anniversary of our Robert's death. It's so odd, You, my Mom, Robert, Emily all in the same season. And my Dad's Birthday. Give them all a hug from me, and wish Emily to finaly find some happiness and peace.

We will remain together, forever.

Dear Mom, Mimi:

We all miss you so very much. It’s been a very long year and the holidays were just not the same but we tried our hardest to do things the way you liked it. Even though you are not here, there are so many things that let us know you are still with us; from your holiday decorations, your flower garden and everything in your house. You will be remembered always.

We miss you so very much.

Donna, Tommy & Maria and your Son.

Anita:
You were more like a sister to me than sister-in-law. Never any bad arguments between us.
How I enjoyed your visits to our home for dinner with the Sgroi clan. Always first to help me with the dishes, etc.
You are missed more and more each day.
Always in our hearts and prayers. You were loved by all.
Love,
Sister-In-Law, Nancy

In life you only have one mom and I was blessed to have had you. You are in my heart and thoughts always. When the birds sing in the morning till the stars are out at night, I know you're there looking down. You were like a mother to many but you were mine and Tommy's. You were Mrs. Santa all year round. I admired that about you and so much more.
See you again, my heart, my mom.
Love,
Debbie

Hi 'Nita, hard to believe it's been a year all ready, miss you a lot. Today is my Maria's B-Day, she's going to be 43. Wanted to remember your Birthday too-my 2 diamond buddies. Reading all your visitor's I know you realize how much we all miss you. Hoping to get up to see Tommy and the family soon. Went up over Joe's BDay, but landed Friday afternoon and left Monday morning. We wanted to spend Joe's birthday with Steve and the kids. We all miss Bob so much. If you see Bob tell him his family is doing wonderful. The boys are great, but I'm sure he knows watching over them. Tell him everyone misses him and Sparky alot. Watch over Randy, he has severe back problems and has to have surgery and may be out of work for 4 to 6 months. You were so right, he turned into a wonderful human being.
