Dear Annette and Gina - I will be keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers as you bid farewell and send your mother on her journey to join those who have gone on before her.

Dear Gina and Family: We are very sad to hear of the passing of Mela. Mela had a very special place in our hearts. She treated us as family and I will forever be grateful that she was part of our lives. She will continue to be part of our special memories. We will never forget her. May God bless her and may God give you all the comfort in this very difficult time. Connie, Michela and Domenico Denaro.

Dear Gina and Family--May you find a modicum of consolation in your grief at the loss of your dear mother as you reflect on the fond memories that you have of her, and with the sure knowledge that you did everything you possibly could have done to ensure that she knew she was loved up until her last moment on this earth.

May God rest her soul and bring you peace.
