Mrs. Cieri,
That's how I addressed you, yet in my eyes and in my heart you were always Aunt "Jo" to me. You were a person of such kindness, generousity, and warmth. Everytime we would gather you went out of your way to say such nice compliments to me. You always put a smile on my face and brightened every one's day. I will never forget your dedication and support to Michael, Steven and myself when ever we played hockey. We will never forget your encouragement and laughter.
Even though we will miss your presence here on Earth, we cannot be selfish, because I know you are in good hands with Jesus, Padre Pio and re-united with your parents. Your legacy will live on. We love you.

To: Uncle Mike, Aunt Theresa, Uncle Mr. C, Michael, Steven and Dennis, our deepest of sypathies and prayers will remain for you. Stay strong and continue to live in joy, just how Aunt "Jo" wants for all of you. She is watching over and with you always.
May God Bless you all.
W/ Love and Prayers,

Marco & Tara

Mrs. Cieri defined the word "motherhood". Her warmth, concern and nuturing way always gave everyone she knew a great feeling inside. It came so natural to her with true sincerity and love always flowing from within. It always felt like a breath of fresh air whenever you would be around her. She was truly a remarkable and extraordinary woman and will never be forgotten.Her love for her family
and friends was endless. Her memory will live on for that very reason.
We send our love and prayers to her family: Mr Cieri, Michael, Theresa, Michael, Steven, Dennis, Gloria, Nina, Julia and all of her loved ones.

Lizette, Joe, Liza and Lexy Raspa

I do not think any of us will fully get over the loss of such an incredibly loving woman. She was the heart of our family and brought out the best in all of us. She touched the lives of so many people and will be deeply missed but will remain forever in our hearts. We love you Aunt Jo!!!
