....Sitting here thinking of all of the nuts I picked out of her brownies...I think she baked 'em in there just so I could, and she could have some fun watching me do it...
Well, the Lord will bless her and keep her.
(Picked the nuts out of the cookies, too.) Godspeed, "Mom"......now to stroll a little further down memory lane.....

Living across the street from the Antonellis family growing up were the best years of my life. Your home was always filled with love and laughter. Joan and I were always together and I always felt a part of the family. I miss those days and I will forever miss my second mother. I am so deeply sorry for your loss. Lots of love to the entire Antonellis family.

To the Antonellis and Curran family members: We fondly recall our visits to Elmira Street in Brighton delivering groceries to Joan's mother ,Mrs. Clara Curran and Joan's sister Nancy. On many occasions Joan was also there visiting. Her warmth and hospitality emanated from that of her mother. As Jesus stated in one of his beatitudes, Blessed are they who mourn for they shall be comforted.

Jean had a great sense of humor and
always made me feel welcome in her home.She was a great family girl. I
always enjoyed our talks when I would
drop by unannounced. I loved that about
her. She and her husband were very close and in her mind he could do no wrong.
