Lifting your family to the Lord in prayer….asking that he cover you with His Gracious Comfort, strength and encouragment….that His Presence and faithful love will give you peace!!!
I will always remember spending good times with you at Frans' and talking about how we lived up the street from each other on Green Street, but didn't know each other at the time. I will remember you as "little nonn" and know that you will watch over Mia when she arrives. Love You and I will miss you, til our paths cross again. XOXO
We are so sorry for your loss. Jennie was a little spit fire and
I will remember all of our conversations with her when we would come down to visit. She will truly be missed. Xoxo Tara (Fasulo) DeFilippo and family
My Aunt Jennie was a wonderful lady. I grew up with her as if she were a second mom to me. She always had a smile and she definitely would speak her mind to you even if you didn't want to hear it!! She and my mom were best of friends and I am sure my mom was waiting for her with a cup of coffee. She raised a great family alone, since my Uncle Frank passed too soon. She was a strong woman. I will miss her smile and warm hug. I know her family has many memories that will keep them laughing through their tears. My prayers to her family.
Sorry for your loss Jen, she will be in you heart forever.
Losing your Mom is so very hard. Unlike anyone else, a Mom's love is completely unconditional. But, she is with Jesus now and Jesus will make the sadness you are experiencing bearable by leaving you with many good memories to reminisce and enjoy.
I am very sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in Gods promise of paradise where he will wipe every tear from our eyes, no more pain. (Revelation 21:3,4) please accept my sincere condolence.
Our deepest sympathy to the whole family.
Tony and family – I am very sorry for your loss.
Jennie girl there will not be one minute of my day that I don't think of you. You were part of my everyday and will continue to be. I am still waiting to wake up and realize this is all a bad dream but I am living the nightmare of not having you in my life. I know you will be looking down on all of us and I hope I make you as proud as you have made me having you as my grandmother. I love you so much Nonnie!
Ron and Sandy, sorry to hear the news about Sandy's mom. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this very trying time. Please accept our sincerest condolences.
Tony, Cindy and family – We are so sorry to hear of your loss! You are in our thoughts and prayers. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help in such a difficult time.

Tony,Cindy & Family~ I am so sorry to hear of your Mom's passing..My deepest sympathy to all of you…may she rest in peace ~~
Sorry for your loss. I will remember Jennie as a great person, and will remember the times I spent with her at her apartment having coffee and enjoying her company. She always made me laugh, especially when it came to decorating for Christmas. I know the pain you are feeling with the loss of a Mother. Just remember all the good times together.
Sorry for your loss. I have lots of great memories of Jennie at parties and family gatherings, always filling the room with laughter. Jennie was a lovely woman with a big smile and an even bigger heart. She will be missed.
We are so sorry for your loss.
