Frank,
To have single-handedly raised such an admirable son, husband, father, teacher, coach reflects the inner character of your mother. I can only imagine what a woman of strength your mother must have been. There is a place deep in our hearts where those we've loved and lost live forever. Know you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Lori Rue

Frank & Dena,
Words can not express our deepest sorrow for your loss. Your mom was a devoted mom,"Mimm" :), cousin and friend to all. She always found the best in everyone and loved her sports! She so loved watching Frank play sports and was extremely proud of his accomplishments. You could always tell how your mom's heart would grow with love for her grandchildren when she would speak about them. The many years your mother spent taking care of her father, her love of her job at Comcast, the Sunday and holiday feasts she would prepare were unforgettable. You never left her home hungry. I'll never forget the time she hosted a "Celia" family get together for her father,his brothers and sisters. She was such a generous and giving person. She is resting in peace, free of the cancer that consumed her and at long last with her mother, Aunt Mary, whom she lost too soon. May God Bless you and your families during this difficult time. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. My heart aches for your loss and everyone's loss of a wonderful and dear lady.
