To my Mom,
As many problems as we faced, the arguments and the hardships, you were there for me, sometimes a little too much, but that's what a mother is for. As much as you didn't agree with some of the things I did in this life, you stood by me. Through some of my silly decisions to my most poginant, you stood by me, but that's what a mother is for. Even though some of our arguments were silly and ended on a sour note, I still love you, and you loved me, but isn't that what a mother is for. Always in our thoughts and our hearts. My mom, Sandra Lee Theresa Perteroti-Friedline. P.S. Mom, thanks for the butterfly.

Aunt Sandy-

Thanks for the sleepovers and the taco lunches, for taking me and Steven to go bowling at Volkers and blasting the music in the car. Thanks for the card games, the board games, the cookouts in the backyard, the arguments across the table with my father and singing "Chicago" at the top of your lungs. Thanks for giving me to incredible cousins who I cherish everyday and thank you for imparting your wisdom on me...for teaching me what I should do and shouldn't do in this lifetime. You were loved and you will always be loved. Most importantly, know that your family got together for the first time in a long time and we celebrated your life. Swiss Chalet anyone?

Love always,
Your nephew "Donny"

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the whole Family...

We met Sandy through a very close Friend-David Callea.
We last spoke when she moved back to Buffalo and was staying temporarily with the Callea family.
She was very positive and she and I were joking on the telephone. She told me she was determined to Beat this thing. And she tried so hard....

Sandy, May you now rest in peace.

Dear Sandy,

I was so sorry to hear about your passing. You were a wonderful friend who always appreciated every thing in life. You had a zeal and happines that was contageous! If anyone ever saw the positive in every situation, it was you. I wish I could talk to you and see you again but I know someday when I close my eyes in this world I will see you in heaven. I am happy for you that you are now living in paradise with our beautiful savior and that you have no more pain or sadness. You are now reunited with your dad and all those who have passed before you. I want to thank you for helping me to see the good side of life and appreciating the small things. I will miss you, until we meet again.

Nancy
