I am truly sorry for your loss, the two of you have been together from before I was born.
To all of the family, children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
My deepest sympathy for, you have lost a great human being. When I think of ceiling, I think of an old Italian song called” Mama”.
My mother and father, Charlie & May DeFelice grew up together back in the old days. I remember those days as the happiest times of my life, there was always laughter and fun.
From those old days till today. There was always love, and so from my family. My brother, Michael & Sandy and my niece Danielle and her family send you the spirit of love. In this your time of sorrow.
I have compiled a few photographs from my gallery and have enclosed them into this webpage.
My wish is to present these photographs as an acknowledgment of the great family that we come from.
I deepest sympathy.
Carl A DeFelice.

I think I speak for myself as well as the rest of the family when I say that we have lost our beloved "Ceil" and we couldn't be more heartbroken than what we are. There will never be another woman as careloving and goodhearted as she was.If anyone ever deserved to be in Heaven, I'm sure she's the perfect candidate for it.May she be greeted there by her beloved Sister Teresa and Son Eddie and the rest of her departed family members.May God Bless them all.
