Aunt Babe, I loved our phone conversations and all the times we would laugh. Your love and connection to all in your family meant so much. I'm so glad I was able to speak to you to wish you a happy 100 birthday. You were a gift to our family, you will be missed.
Love, Marcella

Aunt Babe was a gift to our family. My Poppy, Salvatore Russo’s cousin, she was always Aunt Babe to us. She was so incredibly thoughtful and crocheted blankets for all five of my babies. My children adored her and I know the feeling was mutual. We will miss our annual Christmas visits with you, and I will miss our phone conversations when you would share with me what it was like to be a mother of five yourself. May your soul be at peace and give Poppy a kiss for me.
Love,
Danielle,...
