Mr. DiPerna, Carl, Frank and family,
You have our deepest sympathy over the loss of Mrs. DiPerna. We are so sorry that we knew nothing about her passing. My father was literally crying when he heard of her passing and realized that we had missed the viewing. She was such a wonderful lady, and will be deeply missed. You will all be in our thoughts and prayers.
Michael, Kim, Rich, Angie, Ricky, Heather, and Mark Ferrari.

R.I.P. Mrs. DiPerna. You were one of the nicest and kindest neighbors that Shadycrest has ever seen. You will be sorely missed.

Our beloved Aunt Mary will be sorely missed. We will always keep her in our hearts. We'll miss the laughter, her spunk, her love and kindness. We will miss all those wonderful dinners and sharing around her table. Our hearts go out to Uncle Pat, Carl and Frank and their families. God's peace to the family and blessings during this difficult time but we will rejoice in the knowledge that Aunt Mary is now home in heaven. All our love, Bob and Dianne Moreno

Pat, I can not express how sorry I was when Mom told me of Mary's passing. Mary has become a fixed name around our home. Mom and her spiritually were connected. We really would have liked to have been there to pay our condolences, although Mom's endurance isn't as good as she thinks. Mary is very special and I am sure she is praying for us all still. With all my sympathy and love. Lisa

Mr. DiPerna, Carl & Frankie: I am so sorry for your loss. My heart felt such sadness when I heard the news. Mrs. DiPerna was the kindest, sweetest, most generous and gracious lady ever!! The memories for me and probably so many others are endless. I'm sure Special K (my Dad) has already welcomed her into Heaven…

Our prayers are with you all at this time. Mrs. Diperna was a great person that will be missed. Mary always made us feel welcome. Especially at the dinner table. Like my mother always said from one Italian to another "that Mary Diperna can cook" May she rest in peace.
Love,
The Orsi Family.
