Frank and Mariette,
I just learned of your mother's passing and am very sorry, sending my deepest condolences. I worked with your mother at Methodist Hospital and she was loved and respected by all who had the pleasure of working with her. I keep you in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Dear Mariette and Frank,
If you only knew how often I heard about your mother and father and your entire family as I was growing up - and that was a very good thing. Needless to say, she had an impact on my life even though I did not know her very well as I was growing up. When I moved to Philadelphia and lived around the corner from her, I felt like I was living in proximity to one of my childhood heroes. I can only imagine how strong a woman she must have been to do what she did when she did it. I am so thankful to have known her.

Dear Mariette and Frank,
We are so sorry to hear about the passing of your mother. Livia and I always loved her very much. We go back a long way, since 1956, when I first came to Philadelphia and met her. When I was younger, whenever I had the chance, I would drive to Philadelphia to see Zi Frank, Zi Mariette, Lucy and Frank, and the whole family. Since then, they have never left my heart and I will always love them.

Mariette, Frank and Linda,
We join with all the others in sending our heartfelt condolences for your loss of your beloved mom, Lucy.
We go way back as cousins to Lucy watching her progress through College, Medical School, Internship and Specialty Training in Obstetrics and Gynecology. All the steps of the way she was first in her class and first in her ability to impart warmth and confidence in her caring and treatment.
She was certainly a "role model" and inspiration as she encouraged us to follow a similar profession. She cared for all her patients and relatives skillfully with advice and guidance whatever the medical problems were. If it was out of her field of expertise she knew where to send you to be treated properly.
Her wonderful attributes will always be remembered. We can all rest assured that Lucy left this world a better place when she was called to her rest.
All our love,
Karen, Tim, & Tim Jr McDonnell

Dear Mariette and Frank,
We extend our deepest sympathy in the passing of your mom. She was a great lady, a great aunt, and a great physician to us, our family, and so many people. Her endless energy and devotion enabled her to handle so many things at once, with attention to detail, with a smile, and with that sweet, soft voice. She truly was a role model to me as a woman and as a business woman, as well. My husband and son admired her too and enjoyed when she came over for a visit or just a barbeque. She was a sharp lady with such style. She is now at peace, and her spirit lives on in each person that she encountered, influenced, and graced. May she now rest in peace with your Dad.

Dear Marriette and Frank,
I just wanted you to know that what I remember most about your mom was that I felt so comfortable in her presence. I was always struck by her warmth and elegance whenever I came to your home. She was so easy to talk to. I also remember looking forward to Christmas just so I could have some of your moms delicious cookies. I love you guys. Beth

Dear Mariette and Frank
I just found out yesterday about your mother. I worked with her for 5 years in Quality Assurance at Methodist. I loved her. She was like a mother to me since I lost my mother when I was 9 years old. How she loved you two. She would always talk about you to me. My sincere sympathy.

Dear Mariette and Frank,
I will always remember how welcome your mother made me feel when I joined the LaSalvia family. The wonderful dinners, listening to her play the piano, and all the gracious qualities she possessed have left wonderful memories of the years past.
She was a very special lady, and as I have through the years, I will think of her often with the fondest of memories.
My love to you both,
Aunt Gloria

Dear Mariette and Frankie,
It was with great sorrow when I saw the news about your mom passing. It is with a heavy heart that I express my sincere condolences. I will always remember the great days of my childhood spent up the Poconos with all of you. Aunt Lucy certainly was one of the best. She was so giving and loving and I thank her today for the gift of good grammar. I was always so proud to have an aunt as smart as she was! She was a great role model. Although over the years we lost touch, she will always be a part of who I am.
I am sorry for your loss. You both were blessed with a wonderful mother. Treasure your memories, she was one classy lady.
Fondly,
Maria LaSalvia Butterworth

Dear Mariette & Frankie: Your mom was the sweetest person. When I met her the first time as part of this family, my first thought of her was "what a great smile" ...I remember her being always in a good and playful mood. Especially when around her cousins...She was a very classy lady with lots of charm and kindness. That's how I remember your Mom. Dear Lucy, may God light your path to him.
Love always, Pat & Anna
