My sister, was born eleven months before me and to say that we were close would be an understatement. Our father's name was Louis J. Zeccolo and mom's name was Florence (Philomina)DeSair. Our grandparents were Daniel and Dorothy DeSair, and our great grandparents were Ralph and Anna Cerrone (Maternal). Vernice was a gentle soul and I will miss her. This has not been an easy life for her but she never complained. Rest in peace.

My deepest sympathy goes out to Vern's family and friends. I knew Vern and George through Pat Eaton. They were great people and a lot of fun. I'll especially remember Vern from the cruise we went on a few years ago. Her devilish smile and laugh will be missed greatly.

Your mother is now at peace and she is free of pain and with George. He is already calling her Ya Ta Hay and we know what she is saying don't we. We had some really good times together and she was a very good friend. I will miss her especially on Friday nights when we play cards at Dottys. Please keep in touch

Hi Mom,
Though it's only been a day,
Schultz and I miss you in a terrible way.
Tootie is looking for you too,
But I promise to keep him from feeling blue.
I know You and George are back together,
And your in a place where there's always great weather.
I want you to know I Cherished your Love,
And your passing has renewed my faith in God above!
You must have prayed to be free of pain,
So another beautiful Soul He did gain.
Please know I Loved you with all my Heart.
Please know I thought you were the GREATEST MOM now that were apart!!!

I will miss you until were together again.
Love you Mom,
Keith.
