Brodie & Pitera Families...I was so sorry to hear of "Nanny's" passing. Unfortunately I did not have the opportunity to get to know her as much as I would have liked, but I always felt that I knew her like family by the way you would all speak of her and share funny stories. May those wonderful stories and memories help carry you through the difficult times. She was a great lady!

Dear Sandy,
Sue and I wish to express our sincere condolences on the passing of your mother. We remember her as someone who made us feel like family every time we had the pleasure of seeing her. Her humor and lust for life were inspirational in making sure people didn’t take things too seriously and to enjoy the things that are most important – family and friends. Sandy, your mother was very special and we are thankful for having shared some time with her, your father and your family.
Love,
Ken and Sue Adams

I was very sad to hear of Auntie Eleanor's passing. My family loved her dearly and have many memories from their childhood of her warm loving heart. I always took them to Swiss House for supper after dance class, and they would always be excited to see her.

She will be sorely missed, but now she is making the angels smile.
Love,
Carol Bianco and Family
