Some of my fondest memories growing up are from time we spent at Grandma's house. Obviously the food – the family and the fun. I loved to hear stories of my parents when they were young. One of my favorites was Grandma and my Mother getting all dressed up and going dancing, only for them to get bored and going home and making pancakes.
It is unfortunate that my children and grand-children did not get to spend the time with Grandma or their Papa that they should have, but it soothes my heart to know that there is yet another angel to watch over them. I wish I could be there today with the family so I could let everyone know how proud I am to be a part of the family and I will continue to teach my children, Nicole and Jay, and my grand-children Angelyna and Ayden that they are also a part of this wonderful family.
I know in my heart that Daddy was there to welcome Grandma into Heaven and like I said we all now have yet another Angel to watch over us. God Bless you Grandma, I love you.

To the Forlizzi family and Grace Brown,

It is with much sadness that I learn of the loss of "Auntie". How I used to love to watch her get ready to go out, and was amazed at the meals she used to prepare! How she put up with all of us dropping by, I'll never know. She was a wonderful lady and she is remembered fondly. Please find comfort in your many memories of her. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
