Dear Uncle Juney, Marianne, Joey, and Kenny,

We are so sorry for your loss, and so very sorry to be so far away and unable to pay our respects to you and to the memory of Auntie Josephine. So much of our childhood was rooted in family, and having you next door (and all of the Petruzzi cousins within walking distance) made our little world seem safer and happier.

Although we are separated by a great distance, the love is still there.

Dear Uncle Juney, Marianne, Joey, Kenny and all the family -

I am so sorry to hear about Auntie Josephine.
She was a wonderful and caring person.

I have so many good memories of Auntie Josephine from backyard birthday parties to working at the Silver Fox. I will always remember her.

Wish we could be there with you all at this time, but please know that we are sending our thoughts and prayers from Florida.

With Our Love and Deepest Sympathy,
Tony and Nancy (DePietro) Navarro XXOO

My deepest condolences go out to Mr. Messing and his family. I know what a difficult time this is for all of you. I have known Mrs. Messing for 10 yrs and had sat with her and had coffee and brought her a lobster tail on many occasions. I will miss our conversations and your loving nature. She loved her family dearly, and spoke of her grandchildren and children with much pride. Will miss her and pray that she is at peace with Karen now.

Love,

Mary Ellen
