This has been the most difficult time for all eight of us, yes I am the one who is seven from the top and second from the bottom. Growing up was difficult, and being in the position I was in. Behind the twins, they were 5 years older and did not want to be my friend, and Char was too young and considered a brat to me. Age has changed us all, we are all the same age in each others eyes; we seem to get along just great now even though we tease about age. Our toleration of each other must have something to do with this wonderful women who raised us. She always amazed me. Christmas was so extravagent, but there was no money to be found. The living room was filled with so many gifts and each of us had our own spot filled with toys and such. Holiday dinners on the long grey table in the basement, wow. I think we had more homemade pies then anyone I know. Mmmm mmmm good! Thanksgiving was always with the Paduana family and included Turkey and Spagetti. She made us our clothes as we were growing up. When I was in first grade she made me the most beautiful dress but it was a special dress so I was not allowed to where it to school. One day (those who know me will be surprised) I had an accident at my desk. Yes, I peed my pants. Well, my mom was called into the school, she showed up with that beautiful dress she made me. I was so excited. I felt bad or had a bad night I would climb into bed with my parents. Mom and I always hated thunder storms so I would hide in their bed. I shared the house with my mom when my father died, until I was married which was just recently. My mom and I became such good friends during that time. I would talk to her. She always had dinner ready when I would get home from work or the gym. Yes, that is when I faithfully worked out. She always told everyone I beat her because she black and blued so easily. I was the mean abusive daughter and Char was the perfect daughter. My mother was an amazing cook and I hope some day I can make her proud. Unfortunatly, I have not had much cooking experience until I was married. I would check the cookbook she made us one Christmas and call for a thorough explaination. I will tell you Buffalo has lost one of the biggest sports fans around. She would watch the Sabres or Bills game and yell from her bedroom asking if I saw the play. I never paid attention though. When she had her second heart attack she watched one of the Bills games and she would loudly root her team on. I think she made the nurse staff laugh. I wish I would have enjoyed sports as much as she has. Well it is never too late. To my family we must depend on each other and keep in contact. Feel free to use me especially in the summer when the pool is open. I will be lonely without her and will need all of you to help me through this. I love you all and will be there whenever you need me. Mom, thanks for making sure I found the right guy and waiting for me to find happiness with him. And, I have my little girl, finally. I know you where waiting for that. Mom I will miss you forever. I love you and remember everything. Thank you for sending us the double rainbow, it showed me you are with daddy and your safe and happy.

Being the youngest of eight you would think there would be fierce competition for attention! Not from our mom, she had a gift for making all of us think that we were her favorite, including her grandchildren and greats! We all had our roles in our family and we all fulfilled them for her. Therefore none of us have any regret because she never complained about any of us! The luckiest are a part of her, and me being the youngest feel the luckiest! Every year on my birthday I gave you purple roses to thank you, I will continue the tradition in some way. I will live the rest of my life trying to be just like her in any way possible. Thank you for always supporting me never judging me and always answering your phone any time of day! I have been given everything i need from you the rest is up to me. I will do it as you would with my head held high and live every day to its fullest in a positive happy way! I am so blessed with a wonderful family and many wonderful friends. I can only hope to be have as great a mother to my son! thank you god and thank you mom for giving me life.

What do I say about a person that not only is giving, helpful, kind and a human calculator, but also the most understanding and unjudgemental woman I have ever meet. I happen to be married to her eldest grandson and the mother of two children, but I never ever felt that our relationship was based on this. I felt that I too was special to her. She had the uncanny ability to make everyone feel like they were a superstar with the ability to live up to her expectations of us. I will always treasure the times when we would come from Texas and I would go running early in the morning and she would be waiting with some tea and breakfast at 7:00 am and we would talk for an hour or two about recipies and soaps. These mornings will always be a tresure to me because I felt that we just got each other. I will always strive to live her message of being the best we can be and not expect others to be or do what we want, but instead what is right for them. I will always miss you, but know that I carry you in my heart.

I haven't been part of this family very long, but i'm very grateful to be. I remember the day when i met sitta, she was sitting on her bed with monica and just gave one of the sweetest smiles out of many. She opened up letting us in with open arms welcoming us in the family. Sitta was a very sweet woman who had a heart of gold. I always herd how Amazing her cooking was, and its a loss that ill never taste her Lebanse potato salad or the grape leaves everyone was always bragging about But i will forever remember the memories we did share and the the sweet smiles of sitta , and glad i got to meet her when i did and am proud to be part of the family =) there will always be a place in my heart for you , love you sitta.

So I have not been in this family very long, but long enough to realize how much Sitta means to everyone. She made me feel like i was apart of the famly and she included me and my sister in everything that we did.She always tried her best to make every one smile,and she always did. I wish I knew her longer, but at least i got to meet such a wonderfull person that insipred me.I know that she'll never be forgotten. She'll always be in our hearts. Shes in heaven now with Gidda in a better place looking down and protecting all of us. She means A LOT to all of everyone, and she always will. We all miss you and love you sitta. <3

Sitta was the best great grandma i could ever ask for. she was smart, nice, and a great cook. i will never forget her grape leaves or meatballs so good! I also will never forget how when i would go down to her room she would be watching soaps and be knitting. then every Christmas I would always know her gift to us would be socks. It was so cute and funny. Sitta will always remain in my heart for years to come

Sitta was always exited to see me every time I came over. She was very sharp and knew how many children, grand children, and great grand children she had. Sitta and I went to go see Hairspray. We loved it!I hope everyone will have fond memories of this wonderful woman

Dear Family,
I will miss our Sitta. She was a very smart person. We all love our Sitta and we always will. Sitta always had a way to make you smile. She would always make blankets for us. I remember making a pillow with her i quit after the 1st few stiches, but she finshed it. I also remember a time when she taught me to crochet. We always loved to play cards and yahtzee with her. I usually cheated, but she didn't mind. I also remember the time when she bowled a 246 in wii bowling. Sitta was the biggest sports fan. Every time i would walk in her room i would see something to do with sports on her tv. She always made sure i did my homework and when i needed help she helped me. We all love Sitta.

To Charlene & Scotty and The Fadel Family,
Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you all. You were blessed to have a wonderful mom and Sitta in your lives. I will never forget the first time I met Sitta and she made me try her grape leaves - I've been hooked ever since. She always made all of us feel welcome in her home. She was such an impotant person in our wonderful nephew's life. We know she will be missed.

Martha and the Fadel family,
Your mom was one of the sweetest, kindest, loving people I have ever met. She was also no-nonsense. She treated my sisters, Janice and Jane, as if they were hers. Janice and Jane loved her and your dad so. I know they will treasure their many memories of both your mom and dad. Martha, Janice and Jane, the three musketeers, and your mom kept them all in line. She will be missed but what a legacy she has left. One of the richest women I know...not in material things but in the things that count most...faith love and strength.

I was blessed with 'Sitta' being in my life for some 36 years. She treated me like a son from day one, and was the kindest, most loving person that you would ever know. The very first night I met her, she made me sit down and have a plate of her fantastic spegetti sause and let me tell you, her meatballs were the best! I loved her like my own mother, and her daughter, my wife, Benita, is so much like her. Sitta loved her family, her kids, and all the grandkids like you would never believe. This was one special lady, and I know there is a place in heaven where she will look over all of us. God Bless Terry 'Sitta' Fadel. I Love you.

Dear Martha, Karima, and Fadel Family,
I am so grateful to have known your mother. She was a light to so many of us and she treated us all with such love.Her kindness and caring was given to all who came in contact with her. She knew what you needed and she gave it to you. I am going to go so far as to say she was a "saint" especailly because of how she lived her faith. Church and caring for others came first and she taught all of us to live as Jesus did. Thank you for sharing her with us at Blessed Sacrament. You have a powerful intercessor in Heaven now. May God bless all of you in your sorrow.
Love and Prayers,
Jo-Jo
