Its the time of year when, Josie, my sweet godmother comes to my mind. Although we did not see each other since
I moved out of Massachusetts, we stayed in touch. I know she is watching down from heaven and will be thinking of me also. Love you Godmother,

Like so many others, I only knew Generosa from listening to WBZ. How I miss hearing her "Friday, Friday." I kept waiting for her return to the airwaves. Sadly, I tuned in to BZ last night just in time to hear of her passing; I don't listen since Steve left. I'm so sorry for your loss. How lucky you were to have her for 100 years. May she rest in peace.
November 11, 2012
Hi everyone. I found something on line I wanted to share with everyone, and I hope it's appropriate to share it here. I found an audio file of Generosa being interviewed from sometime in 2003.
She's telling a wonderful story about her younger days.
Again, I hope this appropriate to share here as I don't know a better place than here to honor her and remember her with her own words.
Here's the link:

Generosa was wonderful. We knew it was the last day of the work week when she gave us the official "Friday Friday." Known only as a fellow WBZ listener, yet her love, energy and sweetness easily came through the radio. Generosa will be missed, our thoughts and prayers go out to her family. Celebrate her life.

Another WBZ friend offering sympathy to the family of a wonderful lady. Met Generosa once at the farm stand and talked to her once on the phone. She was a delight both times. I picture Carl, Dave, Larry, and other greeting her around an AM radio near the pearly gates looking forward to Friday, Friday! RIP Generosa.

I would like to extend my condolences to your family, although I never met your Mother I looked forward to Friday mornings on WBZ and listening to your Mother. Morgan White mention this morning that Generosa passed away. All of us who listen to WBZ will miss her "Friday" "Friday". May she rest in peace.

To the Family of Generosa - Back in the Dave Maynard days Generosa was the "Mayor of Peabody", involved in all kinds of local activities and describing all details. There was a tone of authority in her voice, not a shrinking violet by any means. She lived a full life and I'm sure you all have great memories of this unique lady. I'm sure she's back directing activities in heaven! May she rest in peace!

I have listened to Generosa for many years on WBZ and will miss her dearly. I never knew my Italian grandmother and she filled the void. How fitting that she will be buried on Friday Friday. RIP

Our condolences to the family and friends of Generosa! She was an incredible woman who was a joy to be with. My parents enjoyed her company and friendship greatly as they all worked diligently to support St. Adelaides in any way that they could. She was very entertaining and a pleasure to talk to. She will be greatly missed! We pray that your warm memories will help to sustain you all at this very difficult time. Sincerely, the family of Antoinette and Anthony DeFuria

My sincere sympathy to Generosa's family and friends. You were blessed with a treasure in your lives. She spread joy and optimism every Friday Friday and I set my alarm for 4 to be sure not to miss it. One fond memory? After a particularly long and bed spell of weather, she called in to WBZ and admitted her impatience with the weather. Later that day I told a friend, "Know how bad it is? Even Generose is ticked off." We both shared a hearty laugh, knowing, for once, our gloomy attitude was appropriate. R.I.P. Generosa.

The most wonderful Italian grandmother to thousands of us overnight radio listeners. Heaven has a new character like no other. So sweet and so sincere, she glowed in the night and shared her beauty with all of us for so long. My prayers are with her family and I will continue to hear your mom in my dreams. Friday, Friday!

Frances & family..We had the pleasure of meeting Generosa at St Adelaide morning Mass and then at Rosewood. A day didn't go by when we had to check-in with "Josie" and say HI!. She truly was the good Queen of Rosewood. We will miss her as she is in peace with God. Marie & Monte Olivolo

I remember hearing Generosa as early as 1986.
I had called Dave Maynard's morning show, and, why I remember this, I don't know, but Generosa was the caller after me.
I always woke up when I heard "Friday Friday" on my radio.
Not to mention it was nice of Morgan White Jr. to let Generosa pick the winner of his trivia contests.
What a nice lady!!!!
Nothing else can be said!

Fran and family I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your mom. I always listned to her on Fridays when she called in to WBZ. She was a lovely women who will be missed. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

What a wonderful life, an amazing woman. I've missed her on BZ like so many others. May she rest in peace.
November 7, 2012
I must add my condolences as well. When I saw the name "Generoso", I knew it must be your Mom. She was such a sweet lady on the talk show and I smiled when I heard her voice. By God's mercy may she be smiling herself in His holy Presence.

We are so sorry to hear of your Mother's passing.
Friday's weren't the same if we didn't hear her call in and say 'It's Friday Friday'.
She made a lot of people smile.
