Dear Linda & Phil & family,
Please accept our very sincere sympathy on the loss of your very dear mother/mother-in law. Ralph & I were very saddened to hear of her passing. While we did not know her personally, we knew how very devoted a Catholic lady she was always praying for those who needed prayers. She was so kind to always include our Brian in her prayers.,expecially when he was so sick & in need of everyone's prayers. What a knid and thoughtful thing for her to do. We will always remember her kindness and prayers. It was very comforting to us.
So, please know that she will be remembered in our thoughts and prayers and rest assured that she is happy with the Lord she loved so dearly,forever. Our very sincere sympathy.
God Bless!

My condolences to the entire Schembari family. The last time I saw Mrs. Schembari was at the Church of the Visitation when I went to mass with my mother Catherine Lee Jones and my dad.
Now both my mom and Mrs. Schembari are together in Heaven.
