My deepest sympathies for the Migliaro and Christoforo families. I offer prayers of peace and comfort to my cousins.
I had many laughable moments with Sal and Rose in their Wallingford home after my dad had passed. Uncle Sal had me in stitches while Aunt Rose was serving up a “light” lunch in her kitchen that always smelled like Mamma Naunies at the old farm house. These two kept my childhood memories alive and I will miss them both. I know Joe and Sal have been awaiting her arrival for a decent meal at the Grand Architect’s table.
Patty,
I will always remember the long kitchen table at your house.
Always felt so welcomed! Memories last forever!
My condolences to my cousins, Mary, Patty, and Chris and their families. I have fond memories of all of you, while you were living on the farm. Remember I am not far from age of your aunts. I loved coming to the farm on Sundays where the men played cards in the kitchen; the ladies would have coffee in the the dining room; and us cousins would play outside and get into trouble many times. I will remember Aunt Rose and she will be in my prayers.
Sorry I am not able to be there for you at this time.
My deepest sympathy to the Migliaro’s and to the Powers family. My prayers and thoughts are with you at this time. Glenn Taylor

“Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.” -Matthew 5:4
It is with great sadness that I mourn the loss of my great-grandmother, Rose Migliaro.
Nonni, your meals were unmatched and your spirit unparalleled. Your strength, day-in and day-out, in raising three children, ten grandchildren, and eighteen great-grandchildren in the Migliaro family is admirable. The love and compassion you showed for anyone who came into your kitchen for meatballs on Sunday, or zeppoles on Christmas Eve, were unconditional and second to none.
You are survived by a remarkable family that will do its best to live up to your tremendous legacy- a family so fortunate to be eternally under your Heavenly protection.
You are now finally reunited with Poppi, the love of your life- tell him I said hello.
Rest easy Nonni, I love you.

We are so very sorry for your loss. May God embrace and surround you with his love during your time of sorrow. We are thinking of you and sending prayers to you and your family.
Barbara and Chris – Love and Prayers to you and your lovely family. I remember our recent conversation over the phone when you spoke about your dear mother-in-law Rose, and how happy she was at the Regency House. Her legacy lives on in her children, grandchildren and great-grands! God Bless.
Nonni, the strongest, most courageous woman I’ve ever met, you are forever in my heart and memory. Throughout my life you have showed me what it means to be an amazing mother, and great grandmother. I will never forget the endless cookies, soups, snacks, and candies that came along with the exciting visits to your house. Thank you for the endless memories, and cookies. I will never forget you, and I love you. Give poppy a hug for me in Heaven.

So sorry for your loss. Your mother was a wonderful human being. She was witty and what a cook. You all resemble her in many ways. Our prayers go out to you and your family. Know she is in God’s hands and with the love of her life awaiting us all.
Dear Mary, Patty, Chris & Family Members,
My thoughts and prayers are with you as you mourn the loss of your mother- my Godmother, Aunt Rosie. I have so many warm memories of sitting around her kitchen table drinking coffee and eating her cookies. She was such a wonderful cook, but most importantly had a warm and nurturing heart. Both she and your father, Uncle Totto, were always welcoming of the entire family when we came to visit Mama Noni.
I am so sorry that my mother and I can’t travel from Richmond, VA to attend her funeral. Please know that our thoughts & prayers will be with you tomorrow and always. May you find peace in your memories and time together as a family.
Love & Peace,
Cousin Lisa

I want to express my deepest sympathy to my sister Rose’s children (Mary, Patty & Chris) and their families. I was blessed with a phone call from my sister Rose a few weeks before her death and feel comforted that she was saying good-bye to me. She was always there for me and all of her family. I appreciated all of the sacrifices she made for our parents. She has her place in heaven. I am sorry that I can’t travel from Richmond, VA to be there at her funeral. God bless you all and be comforted in your memories of Rose.
Love,
Aunt Josie
