Not sure what to say?

Isabell, my grandmother, is one of the most amazing people I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. A truly kind person with a beautiful soul. She will be sorely missed. I have so many great memories of us growing up. I love you so much.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always. Pat Norman

When I was a little girl Aunt Isabell would let me clomp around wearing a pair of her pretty high heels. I felt very grown up. She was so beautiful and so kind and through the years I loved every moment of being around her. God bless her sweet soul.

I´m so sorry to hear about your mother`s passing. She led a wonderful life.

It was easy to see why Izzy was everyone's favorite aunt. If you are lucky you run into a few "special" people in your life. Izzy was very special
Butch, Chris, Josie, George, Loretta, I feel your loss. Please accept my deepest sympathy.

My sister, Laura Ness (now Laura Daley) and I lived in the neighborhood. We used to go over Isabel‘s house because we played with her daughter Loretta. Isabel was a lovely, funny and kind lady❣We loved sitting in her kitchen talking with her. I loved her dark hair with those ice blue eyes. I have good memories of her God bless her.

Deepest Sympathy to Larry sorry for your loss

She was like a second Mom to me and most likely manyI shall always remember her with that special love she showed me throughout her life. Rest in Peace now Angel.❤

Izzy was a second mom to me. She would say, is Tucker spending the night again? You girls better behave and quiet down and then she would laugh at us. She was a beautiful woman inside and out. Her smile lit up a room. I have tapes from last year of her singing “Take me out to the ballgame” and a few other songs. She couldn’t remember much, but she remembered her daughter Josie, her favorite restaurant and waitress and those few songs. You’ll be missed Momma Rossa! RIP
