Theresa, very sorry to hear of the loss of your mom. Have fond memories of her sitting in the last row every Sunday at twelve noon mass at Our Lady Of Mt. Carmel Church. She always kept all of us ushers in line and on our toes, and gave us the "look" if we were talking. Your dad Henry, Eddie English, Mike Guigno, A.J. Dell'Omo, and myself. What a warm smile she had. Truly a wonderful person. Rest in peace Grace.

Theresa, our sincere condolences of your Mom's passing. Remembering old times, holiday visits with cousins and aunts, wonderful unforgetable times. Louise and I will never forget, many years ago, we accidentily "bumped" into your Mom and Dad, Henry, in the lobby of a hotel in Venice, Italy, they were on vacation as we were. We were all so surprised and dumb founded to see each other, the chance of that happening thousands of miles from Neptune, New Jersey, remarkable! So many happy memories....

Theresa, I have many fond memories of your mom and dad from when I was younger and our families would get together. I have a picture in my mind of this extremely nice couple, who was always kind and so gracious - "gracious Grace" and "handsome Henry".
Your parents could not have had a more devoted daughter. May you have peace in your memories.

Theresa,
Aunt Gracie will be remembered by all of us, there was only one like her. We grew up listening to all her stories about us kids. When she came to visit with Uncle Henry we always had a good laugh and a great time. Rest in peace.
