Hi Rosaria, Rose, I just learned of your mother's passing. My wife (back then just my girlfriend) were reminiscing just now of when I rented on the 3rd floor and used only the radiator on the gas stove for heat in the winter because that apartment was so energy efficient. Out of curiosity I looked online to see if I could find any info about your mom... sad to hear I missed this. I have some many great memories of the short time I knew your mom, she was a wonderful woman and not afraid to speak her mind. Every Sunday she would call upstairs to me "David do you want some pasta?" and I'd come down to fetch a big plate of whatever she had made that day. Her meatballs are still the best I've ever had.

After I moved, I visited with her occasionally during open studios across the street, and I'm glad that on one of those visits she had a chance to meet and hold one of my girls. I consider the years I lived in that house with your family a wonderful aspect of that time in my life, and a privilege to have shared that time with all of you.

Joey, Maria, Joann and Frankie - as Elaine noted, we just learned of your Mom's passing and are so saddened by this news. Aunt Chickie was always such a warm and loving presence and so much fun to be with. I have such fond memories of our families' times together growing up. The true and deep friendship shared by our parents was wonderful and a privilege to observe. Rest in peace dear Aunt Chickie.

Joey, Maria, Joann, Frankie and your families, I just heard of your mom's passing. I am so sorry. I will always remember my Auntie Chickie as one who could light up a room by simply entering. I like to think she is sharing a cup of Joe with my mom upstairs while your dad finishes Heaven's back nine. Love to all - Elaine (DiPietro) and Ed Murphy

Mary's passing is truly tragic because she loved and enjoyed life. She continually said, "I'm not ready to go." - and she wasn't. Mary, I will miss you greatly, particularly the way you always (and playfully) made fun of me. I am sorrowful for the Gagliardi family, but thankful for accepting an outsider into your family. Phil and Mary became my friends. Two of the finest people I have ever known.

We are deeply sadden by the passing of Mary (Nana). She was always a bright light whenever we were together and was clearly the Matriarch of the family. We hope the family can take comfort in knowing she left us with warm hearts and tickled funny bones.
