Judge D'Agostino,

I am so sorry to hear about your Mom passing. Our Mom's are our first source of love and compassion; our foundation of strength. Through their eyes, we begin to see the beauty in this world and the beauty in ourselves. I hope you and your family find comfort in all your precious moments and memories spent with your Mom. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Sally, Mae, Francis,I am so very sorry to hear of the passing of your mom. I have many fond memories of her in our yard, and in her home. She enjoyed cooking for everyone. Her Lasagna was the best ever!!! Her home was always open to us. And I loved hearing her laugh! She gave so much to so many, her kindness and love for people was amazing. She had a big heart. At Christmas her home was decorated so beautiful, and the bountiful food display, well there was nothing like it and never will be. Your mom and Dad are together again, he was taken way to early, but I still remember him well, his cars, his love for life. I will never forget when he jumped off the playhouse roof into our pool. I know your hearts are broken, and there will be a emptyness for a long long time. But she will always be with you, watching over you and your children, walking beside you always. May she rest in peace, God has yet another angel by his side. God Bless you all. My prayers are with you, and may God give you strength to get through these sad times. If there is anything I can do to help, please let me know. I am here for all of you.
