Mom,

I love you and are dearly missed.
No words can describe the void in my heart.
Your are my mentor and spiritual guide.
You suffer no more.
May heaven be the paradise you said and more.
GOD speed.
Love,
Your son

I remember Mrs. P so well --she was my third grade teacher at Holy Spirit, but she was more than that to me. She was also our "music" teacher, as she played the organ at church and formed a children's choir there and ran the Christmas programs at school during that time. She saw a spark of the love of music in me when I was a little girl and fostered that love in me and I will be FOREVER grateful to her for that. And her loving and caring attitude towards all of us was almost like a mom away from home during the day. Much love and sympathy to you all during this time. May the peace of God cover you like a heavy blanket. --Bridgette (Tyrrell) Dempsey

Deepest sympathy to the family. Mrs. Paladinetti was a beautiful person. I remember she hated us playing chopsticks on the piano in the old church building where we use to practice at lunch time. I missed her when she took time off during my last year in the choir. She put on the greatest musicals of anyone I knew. She will surely be missed by anyone who knew her. MAY SHE REST IN PEACE.

My cousin Norn was my first piano teacher. From that initial Middle C to more intricate sequences of notes and phrases she coached me forward. Some 50 odd years later, I'm still sitting at the piano daily.
Thanks, Norn!

I grew up with Eleanor teaching music at Holy Spirit. I think my love of music came from her. She was my piano teacher too. She directed our choir and helped us to sing like angels. I haven't seen her in many years but when I think of her, there is always a smile in my heart. My sympathy to her boys and their families. She was one of a kind.
