Dear Barbara, Gary, and Patty,

I was so sorry to hear about your mom's passing. I thought the world of her and she was such a big part of my childhood. She often stopped over in the afternoon for a quick visit and catch up with my mother. She was always so sweet, positive. . .and funny. She was also very interested and supportive of whatever I was doing at the time. She was a wonderful woman and a wonderful friend to my mother. I am so glad they had each other -- especially to share their good times at bingo!

I know you will miss her a lot. May your memories bring you comfort. Please take care.

Sincerely,
Maryanne

For many years, I lived across the street from the Pizzuto's and I have many happy memories some of them include going to the back door and singing "Mrs. Pizzuto, can Pattie come out and play?" She always came to the door with a smile, invited me in and offered me something to eat! My thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time. She was a wonderful lady and will be greatly missed.

To the Pizzuto Family and Friends;

Laura was the only Mother-in-law that I ever had. I couldn't have hand picked a more caring or loving woman to be a part of my life, or to be the Grandmother of my children. She will be missed sorely by me and all who knew her. I will carry all of my fond memories of her and Norm close to my heart forever.

My Dear Aunt Laura,
You will always hold a special place in my heart for your love and the memories I hold there. You were my dad's youngest sister and I feel honored that when growing up and we were working around the house or in his garden he would call me Laura then Diane in our conversations. These were in my "young girl" days and I choose to believe that I reminded him of you and that twinkle in the eye we share is a bond I am so happy to share with you and so much with him. I hope in the faith I hold to be true, that you were met by my father & mother and my Uncle Norm.
Be there for me, Your niece, Diane. You can tell God it's ok to be there too.
