I have missed greeting Sylvia and Ann nearly every day on their stroll on our Lansdale 'promenade'. They were part of what made this place 'home'. I am grateful that they could be part of our lives here along our street for so long.

She was a comfort to me when I lost my dog "Krystle" a few years back. I will miss seeing her on her daily walk. It was truly an honor to have met her and I am grateful for that.

Dear Judi,Mike,Cassie,&Cody,

We are so very sorry for your loss. Whenever we went on our walks, the most
natural thing in the world was to glance over at the porch & wave to Sylvia. We still expect to see Mike
with his coffee cup at the front gate,
so not seeing Sylvia is a double-whammy. The best blessing is that Nonni lived to spend time with Lily Rose.

Dear Judi and Mike, Ann, and Mickey and Kathi,
I will so miss my summer mornings just "sittin' awhile" on the porch watching the world go by with Ann and Sylvia. Walking to work will never be the same again. Sylvia was loved by her Lansdale neighbors (as is Ann) and we will hold you all in our thoughts in these difficult times.

Sylvia wasn't my Nonni but she seemed like it, her daughter Judi and grandchildren Cassidy and Cody (and now Lily) are part of my chosen rather than birth family and I've shared holidays and family celebrations with them for over 30 years. She was Nonni to all the friends, every few years I have to ask Judi again "what is her name?" when I wanted to send a card. We will all miss her smile and caring.

Even though she was not my grandmother all her daughters and grandchildrens friends called her Nonni, she will be missed by many. She was a part of the extended family of all Judi's, Cassidy's and Cody's friends, we will miss her presence at family celebrations. fritz, Zinfandel & Beatrice

A grandmother, a nonni, in the truest sense of the word. She will be missed for the rest of my life, loved each and every day and remembered by so many friends and family. Each one of us will continue to carry the torch so that she can continue to be proud of us all. I love you nonni, you are part of me forever and Lily Rose will be just like you....
