Angelina Comparetto was a real lady. She was always well dressed and impeccably groomed , and I can never recall seeing her without her beautiful smile. I remember in particular she and her husband Joe at the 80th surprise birthday party for Andy at Melanie's house in Old Tappan. She was always positive and ready to share her love of life with others. May she and Joe, rest in peace. They were a wonderful couple and I was blessed to have known them.

To Uncle Joe, Joe Jr, Pamela their families, Rose, Andy, Andrea, and Melanie,
Please know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. Treasure the many happy memories you shared as a family. I think that Aunt Annie was truly a blessing to anyone who was lucky enough to have had her in their life. I remember the many happy occasions the COMPARETTO-ILGUANAS families shared at Rose and Andy's home in Queens. I don't think that I can ever remember seeing her without a smile on her face, she truly loved and treasured her family.
Her spirit will live in your hearts until you are reunited in that Mansion in the Sky. She will be remembered in the prayers of the faithful at the Masses this Sunday at Our Lady of Fatima.
May the memories you shared together as a family be a great source of comfort and peace. She was truly a special person and the world is a better place for her having lived in it.
Love and Prayers.
