John,
I'm sorry to hear about your mom. I always remember her in the backyard suntanning while we were all wearing jackets! She was a great person and admired by all at St. Lawrence. Everyone knew who Mrs. Calabretta was! I hope you and your family are coping well. I lost my dad in April and it's a hard loss. Peace.

Mark, Tammy and Family,
Just heard about your Mom. Just wanted you to know I share in your feelings. As you know I lost my mom last year and your mom and mine were close friends. They are now together again. God bless you all. Please feel free to call me.

Maria,

I recognized the last name right away and was sad to see it was your mother. If she was anything like you she was a warm and outgoing person; may God have a special place for her.

Mark,

I don't know if you will remember me...you and me and Tony B. and AndreB. all hung out together in '73, '74 and '75...we had a blast and your mom was wonderful. I am so sorry to hear of her death. I think about those years all the time, and they always bring a smile to my face! Mary

Dear Maria and Calabretta family:
I just wanted to say how sorry I am for your loss. I have many fond memories of your mom and Edison St. from sitting on your front porch, dancing to Tom Jones and Engelbert Humperdink, and just hanging out and talking in your kitchen,while your mom was always cooking smomething good. They are memories I will always cherish. I'm sorry I can't make the funeral mass but my Mom will be there on behalf of the Reeves family. Maria, call me so we can get together with Judy when things calm down. Your all in my thoughts and prayers. Donna (Reeves)Kryzuda

So sorry for the loss of your mom. I believe you are the Calabretta that was my locker buddy at Archbishop Carroll HS.
