Our thoughts & sympathy are with all of Marcella's family! Sorry to hear of her passing. We haven't seen her for many years, but so great to know she lived a very long, wonderful life! I remember her from the time I was a little girl as being one of the most beautiful ladies I'd ever seen!! I'm Frank & Katherine Gryzwa's eldest daughter Theresa. My Dad was her husband Eddie's cousin! Dad passed in 1983 at 74 years of age. We just lost Mom in August of 2011, she was 96+ years old! May God give you added strength during this most difficult time! Sincerely, Emil & Theresa (Gryzwa) Esposito
