Dearest Mom: I'm still in shock. Over the past years, we have spent so much time together and I would not trade our time for anything. You've taught me so very much about life, true life. What are the most important things in life, family, hard work and love. Thank you for allowing me to take care of both you and dad for the past 5 years. What a lucky daughter! Give Dad, Fran and both set of our grandparents a great big hug from me. Please pray for our family..Love Donna Ann Maria Passanisi Suprey

All of my love and wishes for the family at this time of need. Aunt Mary was a loving person who will never be forgotten. I can still picture her and Uncle Tommy in their Florida Apartment, serving us young children cookies, happy and loving. May they always be remembered in this fashion.
