Ida M. Garzarelli

I had the very honor to met you in my trip to New York in 2004. As I told your lovely daughter Elaine, meeting you was the highest point of my 33 day trip! Your special glow and presence will remain in my heart forever. Thank you!

Elaine and Family,
Words cannot express our sympathy.
With Caring Thoughts and Prayers,
Love Sherry and Bob Wolfang

Your Mother was very intelligent, talented, and had a great sense of humor. She was so proud of you. You were a very dedicated and devoted daughter. Sending my deepest sympathies.

Requiescat in pace
