Hi mom, love and miss you every day. Wish you were here, life is hard, depressing, and awful. I sometimes envy where you are, I know you are in such a beautiful happy place. I know you would have never wanted to leave use, but I can't wait to see you and be where you are. I'm not looking to leave anytime soon, but when that day comes, I'll be ready and I can't wait to see you and everyone that I have lost through the years. Give nana a big hug for me and Darren. Tell all my aunties and uncles I said hello. I love and miss you so much.

Hi Mom miss you more then you could ever imagine. Everyone is doing so well. Jaelyn’s a junior has her license and driving her and Niyah everywhere. I wish you could have met Lyric, you would have loved him. Scott is graduating college this year and doing amazing. He’s broken 4 records for baseball and on his way to break more. You’d be so proud. Shaunte and Jenna are doing great I’m so proud of all of them. Thank you mom. I love you and miss you everyday

September 5, 2024

You are heavy on my heart today. All the incredible things happening make me wish you were here to see them. I know you’d be so proud. I’ve just been promoted to the City’s Director of Health and Human Services, which is my fourth promotion with the City, and it’s all because of you. Your tough love and unwavering discipline have shaped me to this very moment, and I’m so grateful Mom. Mia is heading to law school, Christina is pursuing her Master’s degree, and John-Paul is in his second year of college. I wish you could be here to witness all of this. I love you deeply and miss you more than words can say.

10 years! How? I wanted to write on your Anniversary, but Paul’s birthday was an all day affair of what you’d be proud of, Love, Family and Fun. We shared many memories of you while we ate birthday cake. You are missed just the same as August 4, 2014. I love you Mom!

Hi Ma

Tracy

May 16, 2024

You would be 89 today. I can only imagine how wonderful it would be to see you at this age. I picture you as a petite little old lady with whitest of hair, perhaps a bit shaky in the hands, maybe using a walker or cane, moving with great determination. You'd be commanding attention, ensuring your children were always by your side. Oh, how I would have loved to see you at 89. I love and miss you every single minute of every hour of every day.

Hi mom,
Well it’s coming up again and just another reminder of how hard is to know your not here. 6 Years and the shock and sadness remain forever etched in my heart. I hope you are living your best life with Nana, Grandpa, Gary, Darren our aunts and uncles and friends. Not a day goes by that I don’t think of you, and wish to see you again. Please come and visit when you can. Give everyone my love. Give nana and Darren a big hug for me. Love and missing you always.

July 30, 2020

It's seems silly typing here knowing your not going to see this but it also provides some relief that I can get the hurt off my heart. I miss you so much. It will be 6 years on Tuesday. Wow! Where are you, are you with Nana, Your Sisters, Your Brother, Gary, Your Friends? Are you with God? Could you be the Red Cardinal that visits me everyday or are you the Butterfly that I see so beautifully flying around the yard? I think about you every second of every day. I miss you terribly so if its not to much trouble and your not to busy in your new beautiful life, you can come visit again. I love you, Stacy

My Dearest Auntie Joanie,
I remember like it was yesterday when I was a little girl at Nana's House, for some reason I was crying and you picked me up and held me close and told me everything was ok and everything was going to be ok-I have held that comfort in my memory ever since and treasure the moment so much - I also remember how funny you always were and I remember trying to follow your dance steps at Mary Jane and Drew's wedding reception in Nahant, MA September 18, 1993, you were the perfect dance instructor! And always know Auntie Joanie, when you walked into a room you lit up a thousand lights! You gave all of your love, your time, your emotions and everything you ever had to all of your beautiful children, your wonderful, gorgeous children who will miss you so, so much! You are forever in our hearts, in our thoughts and in our Prayers! We love you very, very much!

It pains me that was unable to attend the services tonight. During those 4 hours I constantly thinking of you all. A gem of a lady with children filled with love for her. She's an angel looking down at all of you.

Renee Scalfani

August 7, 2014

Joseph,
Words really can't replace the loss you are feeling of your mother. The love you showed for her all the time was beautiful to see. If she could she would of stayed here with you & your siblings because she wouldn't want you to stop living life because the pain of losing her is to much to bare. She will be by your side guiding you in life. She raised remarkable children and you truly made her proud Joseph. The one thing that we never lose is the memories.

Renee Crespo-Hibbard

August 7, 2014

Joanie was indeed a lucky women who lived a life of love which I got to see first hand and for that I am thankful.

All of her children were amazing to her everyday. From breakfast deliveries in the morning before work, to "I want ice cream" was met with her children jumping to her side anytime day or night. The Constantino's are a first rate family that stuck together and I am honored for knowing them. I have a great many funny memories of Joanie that will always put a smile on my face and for that I thank her.

May you rest in peace Joanie.

Mom, I can't believe I am sitting here signing in your guest book. Although we knew this day would come, the fact that it is here and you are gone makes this even more difficult. Through all our ups and downs, you have raised 6 great children and through it all, loved and cared for you more than you could ever know. I thank you for bringing me into this world and being my mom. I am thankful for being able to be there when you left this world. I know that in time I will heal but the loss makes it incredibly difficult. I love and will miss you forever.

Your daughter. Maria. ( 1 of your 4 queens) lol lol
