Joe, I didn't have the good fortune to meet your Mom but from what I've read here she was a wonderful woman that will be truly missed. She without a doubt adored you and your sense of humor. I'm sorry for your loss Joe and your family's. It's never easy these goodbyes we face. It's hard not to miss them. Sincerely my best.

I love you and I miss your laughter and smiles. I miss telling you about my day. Jax keeps going in your room to lift your bed up and down, up and down...(I know you just loved that ride)! He runs in and out of your room looking for grandmom and for someone named Heaven. ?? PJ says he's very sad but that today is a celebration of your life...and he's happy you get to be with Pop-Pop, but he really misses being able to say goodnight to you before going to sleep. He saw me sitting in your room next to your bed and he walked over so quietly and stood beside me...he said we sure are gonna miss her...right Omi? I said we sure do. Well, Mom for now, it's i'll talk to you later...I just can't say goodbye yet. My heart aches, and I just can't... I love you, my friend. ??

Grandma...I have so many memories with you,where do i begin...when i was younger i remember us doing so many things together when i would come to visit. We would head to Safeway and you would always let me get my Teen Beat magazine with no question or we'd go to Snyders where you would remind me to go get the Herring that i loved and would get Ecclairs! You were the first to ever take me to a flea market and all the bazzars, its probably why I love the thrift store so much today! Ill always cherish our many times where I would find you laying down on the bed and come and lay next to you and talk to you and sing to you The Sound of Music!! We thought we were so cool when you would allow us to watch Dirty Dancing and the Young and the Restless! We cant think of Ocean City and not think of you, you took us there every year growing up and we would go in the red station wagon listening to Conway Twitty, and I would beg you to play "Dont Cry Joni" over and over again lol...You always did little things for me, I remember always coming back from the beach as a teenager and you would have a bowl of cantalope and honeydew melon cut up for me and made sure that i had my rye bread with provolone cheese, that lasted all the up till I would visit you with Brandon and you would tell me that you got me some of the chicken salad that you knew i loved from Whole Foods!! :-) I remember always going to MJ Designs with you and getting crafts to do at home, and we loved using your glue gun!! I loved going to Hot Shoppes with you and Grandpa and always going to Ferdinands to eat, where only you ate that pink caviar stuff at the table lol. You used to always scare me by flipping your teeth out and in, oh geez that was the worst lol but a funny memory now. I loved when you would take us to Jean Bell's house and to go visit Aunt Pat. We loved going to the Farmer's Market with you and seeing the pretzels being made. I have so many memories of all the sayings that only you said..."Jesus, Mary and Joseph!", "St Anthony, St Anthony, please come around, something is lost and needs to be found,"the icebox", "ok who tooted?!?" lol...i could go on and on about all my childhood memories with you, i will cherrish them and i will cheerish you. i love you Grandma and Im so happy that we spent so much time together when I was young and that my son got to know his Great Grandmom too...I love you, and I will miss you!

I did not have the good fortune to ever meet Joan Marinari but her son Joe is a human being I deeply value. Joe came to my side after open heart surgery and has remained a true friend over several years. I offer my deepest condolences to the Marinari Family and I will make every effort to attend on Saturday. It is my honor to sign this Guest Book. Respectfully
