Some people go through life never experiencing the special love you shared with your Mother. I hope this brings you great comfort in the days and months ahead. I feel so very blessed to have been part of her life. She was a gift to all of us. I never met a more caring and loving person. I am heartbroken because she was much more than a friend she was my other Mother. She wrapped her arms around me a long time ago and never ever let go. I know she is an Angel now looking over all of us with your Father right by her side. What a beautiful, beautiful site. She will live on forever in our heart. I love you both.

You have something that will always be with you you might think bad of it, but look at the peace she now has. Aunt Katie will always be right there with all of you. There was always great times with the family together for the hoildays, can't say that there was a time that the adults were done or the kids were done and ready to go home. The memories I have and will always have are the best. She in a good place now were she is needed. She is still with her family, Uncle Tom, Grandma, Uncle Charles, my dad and she will still have all of us with her to. Our love to her and our love to you. My paryers are with you and god bless you.

I have nothing but beautiful memories of Aunt Katie. Cookouts filled with smiles between the family, the angel decorations and the great Halloweens that Aunt Katie made wonderful. Toys and frisch's coupons and always unending kindness at every moment I look back on. I miss you all and hope for more smiles in the future and pray that all of you are getting through this alright. Though under such displeasing circumstances, I look foward to being in everyone's presence once again tomorrow and hope to find comfort in one another. I love you all.

At a time like this, we are at a loss for words to express our condolence to someone who has lost a loved one.
How do we say it to bring comfort?
How do we say that we care?
How do we say that we understand?
It will be the little things
that you will remember about her,
the quiet moments that you shared,
the smiles on your faces, the laughter and the care. And although it may seem
hard right now, it will be the memories
of these little things that help to push away the pain and bring the smiles
back again. Do not get discouraged as God will lead you forth upon your journey, until you meet again.

With Loving Memories,

Marcia Samaroo

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve. I only wish I was able to come back to be with the family. I send all my love. I have many regrets with the last few years and the direction all of our relationships took. My fawnest memories as a child was being at the Borrelli household with Uncle Tom cooking all his great food, Aunt Katie making sure very one was happy, Hogan singing and all the kids in the back yard playing and swimming. Halloween was also the best, Aunt Katie filling my bag full and then as time pasted she did the same for my son. I hope one day we can make more memories together and give our children memories that they can hold on to when we pass. I love you guys and wish I could be there.
