Missing your Mother. I would love to tell her I am still swimming, share my pasta making attachment with her, and thank her again for always making me feel special. But I especially miss her laugh!!
I still have some of her recipes and the baby blanket she made for Jeffrey. She was a great person and mentor.
Xxoo, Alexandria

Dear Raphela, Mickey, and Family,
I have thought about all of you many times during the past year. The loss you all feel at the holidays and birthdays I am sure is immense. But it is the loss felt during everyday that somehow hits us the deepest. Your Mother gave so much to so many people including myself and family, she lives in all of us.

Dear Mickey, Rafaela, and Family,



I don't know what words can be said to help you through this very sad time! I can tell you that the hurt and sadness will get better as time goes on! Our two families have been friends for a long time, and now our mother Vickey, Uncle Chic and Aunt Cecelia are together in Heaven! I will always remember in my heart the kindness, love, and friendship your family shared with mine. I was very proud to have your mom and dad as my God Parents! No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. Our deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.



With great sadness,

Joseph Giustino, Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth McCarten and family

Dear Mickey, Rafaela, and Family,



I am so sorry for the loss of your Mother. Celia was like a second Mother to me. She nurtured me when I was a child, a young adult, a bride, and a Mother. She taught me many things, made me feel special, and was so generous. She made my Family and I, especially my Mother, feel we were always welcome, and part of your special family.



I will always hold your Mother’s spirit in my heart. I am blessed for having known her.



With Great Sadness,

Alexandria Ostrowski and Family
