Grace M. D'Ascoli

To all of those who cared for my mother in her last years, please accept my very deepest, heartfelt thanks.

As a Buddhist, I understand that life is eternal. Buddhism is the religion of eternal life (rather then eternal death) and, therefore, I have the utmost confidence that Mom will be reborn very soon! I pray, daily, that her time in Ku is negligible and that she be reborn into a happy, loving family.

D'Ascoli Family,

I was so sorry to hear about your loss. I have fond memories of growing up with all of you and the great times we had as kids near Listra Rd. in Rockville. May God bless each of you and grant you peace in your time of sorrow.

Gerry and Family,
I was so sorry to hear of your loss. May you find comfort in the many memories you have and share among your families.

Dear D'Ascoli Family,

ps I hope your Mom and my Dad are up there getting reacquainted.

My prayers are with your family.

Sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your families.

I have fond memories of your mom from the high school days.

My most sincere condolences for your loss.

Dear Uncle Fred and the whole D'Ascoli clan,
I was so sad when my dad called me to tell me that Aunt Grace had passed. I have wonderful memories of summers in Ocean City spending time with your family! One of my favorite memories was when Aunt Grace took us kids to pick blueberries! Gerry had decided not to wear shoes and ended up with purple feet! Aunt Grace was a special woman who made everyone feel welcome in her home! I know she will be greatly missed. But her spirit and love...

To the D'Ascoli Family:

We are very sorry to hear of your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We hope you cherish all the lives you interact with on a daily basis and the lives you touch at certain times throughout the year. For this is our only life we are granted and should do our best to appreciate every waking moment of life even though there are many a times we may not feel up to the task or overburdened by life itself. Strength to you all.

Sincerely,...
