I will miss your mom very much. She was like a second mother to me. I loved visiting with her when I walked Libbie. We had great conversations. She was such a sweet, warm and loving person. May you find comfort through this difficult time.

Lisa, Vanessa, and Louis, Please accept my deepest condolences during this difficult time. Your Mom was very special to me, and your Dad, too. I was so honoured to be a flower girl at their wedding and to have had them in my life. I feel so lucky to have had such a wonderful visit with your Mom last October, sharing memories of long ago. She was a very special person, kind, giving and loving. She will be missed.
Lisa, Vanessa, and Louis~ How lucky we were to live directly across the street from you, and your lovely mom, for so many years. She was a joy, and we are so glad we got to see her a few months back and share laughs and memories. Our deepest sympathy at this difficult time.
My condolences to the Ferrigno family. Grateful for all the lovely memories and love she always extended without limit. Always made me feel part of the family. I am blessed to have crossed paths with her and she will always be in my heart. My prayers and deepest sympathy.
