Dearest Pezzella family,
What a loss it is to everyone who knew your family when Julia passed away. I remember meeting her when I was only 15 years old. We drove cross the states to see my sister and Stephen get married. I loved both of your parents. They made me feel like family. I will truely miss her! I always thought I would make it back and go shopping and get our hair done together. I remember her asking me if I wanted tonic? What in the world was that. In Utah it is soda. I fell in love with your family and state immediately. I sure love you all very much. I will keep you in my prayers. Know that she was loved and is loved by so many, and touched many people's lives in ways know one will ever know. I love you all. Even though Dianna is married to Stephen YOU ALL made me feel like family. Thank you and God bless you. Love Ya..... Marycatherine~

Dear Auz, Paula, Stephen and families,
So sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. She was a wonderful lady.

Dear Audrey, Paula, Steve and all other family members of Julia,

Please accept my sincere and deepest sympathy on the loss of your wonderful mother. Your mom was always a kind, sweet and amiable person who admired everyone. Her gentle and sincere interest in our family will surely be missed. She was a great lady, friend and neighbor - who respected and adored both of my parents who, as you know, both past away within the last year. Both of my parents also thought highly of your family - especially your mom and dad.

Please take comfort that your mom will now be eternally with her husband, Henry. May God bless you and your families in this time of sorrow. Julia, I will miss you and cherish you forever!

Sincerely,
