Alonna TELESE TEDESCO Obituary
left this world Nov. 23, 2015. At 41 years old, she is survived by her parents, Jack Rhoden and Mary Reynolds; loving husband, Dr. John Tedesco; five sons, Matthew and Luke Telese, John, Nicholas, and Anthony Tedesco; brother, Jack Rhoden Jr.; three and a half grandchildren (the fourth is due in April); extended family and countless friends. Alonna was unparalleled in her devotion to her family and friends. Although she died before her time, she touched everyone who knew her. Her heart will forever live on in all of us. A service will be held at the Chapel Hill Gardens Mausoleum in Dade City Saturday, Nov. 28, at 3 pm to celebrate her life and beauty. All close friends and family are invited to attend. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to a memorial scholarship in her memory at St. Leo University.

Dr T,
Not a day has gone by that we haven't thought of you and your family. Your beautiful life with Alonna had just begun with your "beach getaway" and your undying love for each other. Take comfort in knowing that that the bond you both shared with each other is forever, you will always have a guardian angel watching over you and the kids. I pray you are given the strength to endure this and the comfort of your loving family.
