I will always remember all the great times we had together, helping you cook & listening to you hum, playing rummikube and eating candy, making puzzles, and joking around with grandpa. I will never forget you standing on the front deck at goose pond watching over us. Every time I am up at the lake, I know I will be thinking of you & Every time the sun sets with those pretty shades of pink that you love, I will always think of you. I will never forget you & I will always remember Grandma loves me! I love you and miss you lots!! xoxoxo

My deepest sympathy to the entire family. I am so honored to have had the opportunity to spend time with grandma. I saw first hand how loving she was to her entire family. She hardly knew me but I loved how she made me feel comfortable in her home at goose pond. I'll never forget playing rummikube with her. I love how she let me joke with her about hiding the last piece of the puzzles we did. I will miss her and always remember her.

I, too, remember "Mrs. P" fondly, being her neighbor throughout most of the 60's. I so appreciated her friendship with my mom, who was not totally comfortable living in Queens, nor Creedmoor.

Mr. P, Phil, Joe, Jane, Mary and all the family: I pray for your strength and courage in getting through this most difficult time.

Cherish and share your memories of her often and be grateful for how very long you had her with you. She lives on in each of you kids, grandkids and great-grandchild.

With my deepest sympathy,

Karen & Bob Jodal

Dear Mr. Piscatella and family,



Our heartfelt condolences for your loss and your family's loss. There are alot of fond memories of our time spent together in East Moriches. Mrs. P. always made us feel welcome in your home, a trait passed onto Mary! How can we ever forget about Hurricane Gloria and Mary and Dave's wedding weekend! It was one of the best weddings put together in two days. God bless Mrs. P.



With love, Denis and Peggy Yuen & family

Dear "Mr. P." and family,

We were all so saddened to hear of Mrs. Piscatella's passing. She had such a special warmth and smile that she had graciously shared with us these past few years. She was special too, taking an interest in and caring for Cara who just lost her Grams. We will miss her and will be acutely aware of this loss, this summer at Goose Pond. Our prayers and thoughts are with you all during this very difficult time. Tim, Gail and Cara Puntin
