We are sorry for the loss of your mother. We could not make the viewing or mass because TI had a Total Knee Replacement on July 5th and was not out of the hospital until Friday July 8th. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and if there is anything we can do please let us know. God Bless you all.

Dearest Cousins, Aunt Fena was certainly a rare gem! We were all so blessed to have grown up with her and she has left us with the most amazing and humorous memories! We are praying for all of you and for a speedy trip for her to join Uncle Bobby, her parents, siblings, and family.
God watched you as you suffered.
He knew you'd had your share.
He gently closed your weary eyes and took you in His care.
It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn't go alone.
For part of us went with you, the day God took you home!
With love always, Diane and Greg

My dearest cousins,
There are never any words to really express the death of a parent, and I know that your dear mother will always be in your hearts and souls. You were all so good to her, and that is a consolation in itself. Pray to her, for she is with you now more than ever! She rests in peace and love with God, her parents, all her loving siblings, and all our relatives who have died. She is united with them forever! May you know Jesus' deep love and healing...more each day, dear cousins!
All my love and prayer,
cousin Judy

Sue,
Chris & I are so sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. Even though we never met her, we know she had to be a wonderful lady to raise such a wonderful daughter. No words will help you heal, but take comfort in knowing she's at peace, surrounded by all that went before her. Our condolences go out to your entire family as well. We will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers.

To my wonderful cousins. It goes without saying how much I loved your mother. I was so lucky and honored to have her as my aunt. Her love for us was unconditional and ever present. I, too, will keep memories of all my visits and talks with her over my lifetime. I particularly loved her sarcastic sense of humor. I understand the mixed emotions in her being gone. It was a blessing for her. But leaves an enormous hole in our hearts. I love you all and feel blessed to have you as my cousins. With much love and sympathy, Maureen McEwen.

Thanks for being a wonderful Mother and the finest example I could have ever had on how to treat others and how to respect others as well as myself, Mom. You always called me your "old age companion"! I guess another baby at 43 probably wasn't exactly what you were hoping for! And then you got me! I always told you how lucky you were to have another daughter after all of those boys!I have so many wonderful memories of all of the things we did together. I pretty much saw you every day even after I had gotten married! I so miss those times with you and my Aunts ... Going to lunch...watching you bowl...going to Vegas which you loved! I could put you in front of a slot machine and I coiled come back hours later and you'd still be there! You and Aunt Irma side by side! I hope you're sitting next to her right now..and Aunt Jean..Aunt Philly..Aunt Marietta and Aunt Connie who probably has a bunch of hysterical stories to tell you about all you've missed! I know that your all laughing! And Dad and Grandpa and Dave are so happy to see you..and your brothers too..but I bet the happiest person to see you is YOUR Mother ..whom you never got to know since you were only 4 when she died....I bet she couldn't wait to hug you and have her family all together again! I'm sure your adoring niece Carole is thrilled to see you too!
I know God was happy too...you were such a faithful servant to Him. I know he grabbed you just as you took your last breath and took you straight up where our Blessed Virgin Mary surely was the first to greet you .
As much as I've missed you and will always miss you until I'm able to see you again, I'm so glad you're at peace Mom.
i love you.
