Barbara & Paul, I was sad to hear of your mother's passing. May the comfort of her faith and the knowledge of a life well lived comfort you both at this time. It was a nice to see you all at Vera's service.

We are all moving up in the circle of life as our parents move from this life to the next.

Enjoy each day, each moment is special - don't sweat the small stuff. Love much - love endures forever.

Fondly, Linda Fodrini-Johnson

Dear Barbara, Paul and family,

Your Mom was one of the dearest women I have ever known. I am so sorry for your loss.

It was lovely to have been able to see and speak to her at Auntie Vera's service last July. It was also wonderful to meet with both Barbara and Paul after so many years without contact.

Auntie Lena will be a greatly missed by all that knew and loved her. She was a very special person.

Take care,
Joan Fodrini Clare

On a very special day back in April, 1964, the Gigliotti's and DeLucca's became neighbors. Both our families moved into our homes the same day. We became fast friends and have shared many special times. Everything from dinners together, family picnics, talking with Lena when she ironed on her mangle downstairs, going with her for a ride to pick up Mike after work, playing board games together, attending showers, weddings, and everything in between. She always went out of her way just to welcome you when stopping by for a visit. She was one of the most sweetest human beings - a very special lady.
Barbara, Paul and family - your Mom was loved and as you know, will always hold a special place in our hearts.
