ANNE R. TRIDICO

Dear Marmy,

I want to thank you for being the most wonderful Mother I could ever have hoped for and for teaching me the following:

How to be a good wife. To always treat my husband with love and respect and to always remember to laugh. This is what I saw in you and Dad every day of my life. Your marriage could serve as the perfect example of how two people should live as husband and wife.

How to be a good mother. To always be kind, loving, caring, and patient. To...

Anne,Jane and families. I am so very sorry to hear of your mother's passing. It was great knowing both your father and mother - such wonderful, warm, loving folks and the two of my favorite students. It is obvious you came from a great set of parents and it seems just as obvious that you have continued to pass this on to your own children. I'm sorry I could not make it to the viewing or mass, but please know your mom and dad are in my thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
Rich Gervasoni

Dear Nana,

Often times as I walk through the streets of New York I think on all the stories you've told me of your trips here. Whether it was to see a broadway show, sample the food or just have an adventure - it inspires me to lead the fullest life I can, and to enjoy every moment. When I think of the years PopPop spent here, I think of all the struggle, all the opportunities he seized and all of his determination to make his own success. It reminds me to never give up on myself,...

My dearest Nana,

I am so honoured to come from such a line of strong women. The guidance you have shown to my mother and aunt, and which has been in turn passed on to myself and siblings, is a perfect example of what it means to be a full individual in love with life. Through all the stories and experiences in your life I have found joy and inspiration. Through all our conversations, positive reflection. I promise I will always remember that "it takes all kinds of people to make...

My beloved Nana,

You have always had and always will have an everlasting impact on me. I've only ever had positive interactions and conversations with you that left me feeling the true power of Love. From your incredible sense of humor, to your fantastic wit, and your total compassion, you have taught me to not take life too seriously and to enjoy the small things. Though we never made it to Amsterdam together, I take comfort in the fact that your Love will always be with me and I...

Dearest Mom and Aunt Nellie,

I wish more than anything that I could be there with you at this time, but know that while our family is a little smaller now, it is that much stronger. I will always remember Nana through you and the incredible concept of family she and Pop-Pop gave to us. Thank you for instilling that in us. I know they are happy and together now, just as we are happy and together in hearts here.

All my love always,
Lizzie

I miss you, Mom ... and I'll love you for always. Thank you for giving me the most wonderful and happy childhood, for setting the finest example of what a mother should be and for raising me with the values and morals that you exemplified.
