Sally was a very special lady. I got to know her and Frank many years ago and she was always such a bright light. Always smiling with kind words for everyone. She will be sorely missed but we are so blessed to have known such a "one of kind" lady. Rest in peace!

I am blessed and honored to have had Mom come live with Mary and I albeit under such terrible circumstances when we lost our lovely Anne. We will always love and miss you, Anne. Selfishly, I admit I had doubts that I would be able to care for her. I feared Mary and I wouldn’t be able to do the things we used to. We had work. We had friends. We biked, hiked and played tennis.

I stayed over most weekends too; to the point where my Mom said you can’t stay over at the Candelieri’s they need a break from you!!

Aunt Sally was a caring and generous person who welcomed everyone with open arms. I loved hearing her stories about the adventures she and my Mom had growing up. All the Goulding’s loved visiting the Candelieri clan at 75 Boston Street in Somerville to enjoy the love, laughter and of course, delicious Italian specialties !
We will miss her warmth and her thoughtfulness as she continued to provide an example to several generations of our families. When I told my children about Aunt...
