Aunt Marge,
Caring,sharing,life of the party. But most of all a women who I never heard talk ill about anyone, and who always had time for everyone. My father used to call her his guardin angle as a youth. What great memories are flashing through my mind at this moment. I was truly lucky to have heard many words of wisdom from her, but most of all to know this womens love for so many of us was real. We will miss you so very much. Michael, Mike, Tyler and Johnathan Arnieri.

Aunt Marge.....What a wonderful legacy you leave. You were so loved by many. You were a blessing to all of us.
I can't imagine not being able to talk to you again. We had such wonderful conversations. I always hung up feeling so close to you. I know where you are. Our Lord is holding you in His arms. I also know you will be my angel watching over me. Steering me in the right direction. Love you. Miss you terribly. See you again.

You lived a long and wonderful life. Not many people can live to be 97 years old. I know you are happier now that you are with your sisters and parents. I know your smiling now and not in pain anymore. You will be missed by many. Love you.

Aunt Marge,
You will forever be in our hearts and memories. The wonderful Holiday Celebrations especially Christmas Eve, Mass at Holy Rosary, Dinner and our procession will forever be a very important part of my life. You always made everyone feel so welcome. There are not enough words to express our deepest sympathy. You have touched so many lives and we are so very honored to have you in ours. You will be dearly missed but never forgotten. My regret is we are not able to be there in Chicago to pay our respects.
