My heart goes out to my mother, Rosemary Magnosi, who was too ill to attend my Aunt Frances' funeral. Aunt Frances, I know that you are in Heaven with all of the Angels and Saints. You were an angel on earth and you fought a very valiant battle -- I will miss you.

Aunt Frances -- I have many fond memories of when I was a little girl. Spending time with you and Uncle Lee was about the best memory of my entire life.

Vincent and Josie, I think of you often and remember the good times we had and what wonderful friends you were to C.M. My heartfelt sympathy to you at the lose of your mother. No matter the circumstances it is always difficult to let them go. I know she has joined family and friends in heaven. Treasure the memories and take care of one another.
