Dear Bob and Nancy,
God bless you both and Ralph and your families during this sad time. I loved your Mother for the dear, sweet, genteel lady that she was. Growing up with Bob, we were always hanging out at the Giarratana house for soda and food (there was always plenty of it).
My family and I send out deepest condolences to you all and I will always treasure my memories of Mrs. Giarratana.

Thank you, Aunt Frances for all the wonderful memories of the terrific visits, the fabulous food cooked on the "old-fashioned" stove, sleeping on the floor with my cousins, the always beautiful smiling face, the wonderful hugs & kisses and the joy you shared with all of us. I will think of you often and be grateful for being your neice. I know the joy you spread on earth will be also shared in Heaven. Thank you for raising the best cousins anyone could have.

Bob and Family: Although I only knew you and your mother for a short time, she seemed like a very remarkable and caring woman. May memories of her bring you comfort during this difficult time.
