Thank you, Mrs. C, for coffee and cake at your kitchen table lo, these many years ago. We will never forget.
DEAR Vin. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your loved ones. May God bless and help you, old friend. Jack.
I was often a "member of the family" always welcomed, and had the pleasure of sitting around her beautifully set table, a lively group gathered, wth a small gift of celebration for each of us. Delores was really the gift. Her friendship, generosity, and elegance will never be forgotten. A wonderful lady, mother, and wife….
With sympathy and love to her family, Lin
So very sorry for your loss. Look forward to seeing you Cathy, when you return. Love and prayers from all of us.
Linda, you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. With hugs and kisses from us and the four legged ones.
I know your MOM is missed already. Her friendlyness and immediate kindness were welcoming and appreciated. You all are in my prayers.
Linda and family – so sorry for your loss. I worked with Mrs. Cangiano for many years at election headquarters. She was very kind and so much fun.
Linda, I am so sorry that I couldn't be there to pay the proper respect to a wonderful and gracious lady. So many great memories being at your house for dinner (while your Mom cooked pastine for Carole)…and just to hang out when we were young. I always felt welcomed there. Please offer my condolences to your Dad as well as Carole and Cathy. Prayers to you and your family.
