Joe, Renee, Joe,Jr, Mary, and Dante,
I was so sorry to hear of your mother and grandmother's passing. I know how hard it is to lose someone so dear. I still miss my NaNa after twenty-one years of loss. It seems like yesterday when she passed. Please know that you are in my prayers. I pray that the God of all comfort will send people who can just be Christ's hands and arms extended to wrap His arms around you to hug you and comfort you at this time. My mother and step-father also send their prayers and love and support at this difficult time. Please know that we love you and are here for you when you need us. Please let us know of anything we can do. We are praying for you all.
In Christ,
Fran Scatena, Jean and Ken Nevins

Dear Joe and Renee,
Heartfelt sadness and love to you and your family at this time of feeling the loss of your mother. I'm just a customer, and you probably won't remember me, but that is fine and I don't even expect you to. I enjoy talking with Renee at the Health Fairs, and have had consults with Joe. I just want to send this message that you are thought about, prayed about, and loved in Jesus' name.

I have so many GREAT MEMORIES of her ( and your family) we all grew up together and she was always there( as was your dad) for us.."Zia Maria" and mom were very good friends and they were always there for each other..Like sisters..they talked for hours on the phone and they always visited..I have known her all my life..she was one of our first and dearest freind when we came to this country. She's been there for my dad the last 2 yrs. also, she was always checking on him too make sure he was ok... She always thought of others. She was a very amazing lady to her family also..She will be missed, by all that knew her. She touched all of our hearts and will remain in mine always.. With Love

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family in the passing of an amazing, caring and beautiful woman. I used to come visit her and Uncle Nick when I was growing up with my Nonna (Caterina Romano). I have so many happy memories of her and all the visits we have had together. She loved life and everyone around her and I know everyone loved her. She will be missed.
