Not sure what to say?

Mom, words can't express how much I miss you, and how heavy my heart feels every day. You're missed by your family and friends so much. I hope and pray your watching over me, daddy, Rocco, and your boo boo, bella. Keep sending me signs, I wait all day for them. I love and miss you. Xoxoxo

I was Maria's hairstylist for the past few years. I did not know she passed away until now. After she cut all her hair off, since she wouldn't be coming to see me anymore, I would send a card here and there & give her a call once in a while to check in. I am so sad I did not know & therefore did not attend her funeral. I have such fond memories of Maria & will always remember her. A couple Christmases ago, she gave me beautiful glass icicles for my Christmas tree. I will think of her every...

Dear Michele and family,
I am truly sorry for your loss! Maria was such a wonderful, beautiful person, inside and out. I remember when we were young, we used to sit on your step and laugh together, those were the days.... We have such wonderful memories. And I'll never forget the time I was sick in the hospital and she was my nurse. She took such good care of me. Now, she is taking care of all the angels in heaven. May her soul rest in peace... With deepest sympathy, ...

To the Croce and Canterino Families,
I am so sorry for the loss of Maria. I will always remember her as a warm, compassionate and caring person. From the walks to school in the 70's to helping us out when my dad was sick in the late 90's early 2000's, Maria always had a smile on her face. Maria knew how to make you feel better in a difficult situation. She will always be remembered as a part of my family. I sincerely hope that your many memories help give you the strength and comfort...

The word "cousin" doesn't adequately describe our relationship in my heart. We are cousins by blood but you have always been more of an Aunt, friend and at times like a 2nd mom to me. I've spent many days and nights at your home with Daria, always greeted with a welcoming smile, your infectious laugh, and you were never to tired or busy to sit and have a chat. You never once minded or complained about taking me home before your shift or picking me up after your shift. I cherish every...
