Words cannot express the loss I feel since you have passed. I know that you are better off now since you could not express if you were in any pain but seeing you everyday has left an emptiness in my heart. I’m sure Daddy is happy to see you. In the last 4 years you have met some new friends who could not say any nicer words about you. You will be truly missed by everyone especially me. Love you always and will miss you. Joann

Rest in Heavenly Peace! Mrs. D’Elia you were always beautiful inside and outside! Love you 🥰 

 On July 7, 2022, I lost my mom and my best friend.  My children lost their grandmother and great grandmother.  My mom was a kind, thoughtful and giving person.  Always giving me advice when I needed to hear what she would do in my situations.   Always helping me when I had my three children.  I was always picking her up and going to Stern’s or Bamberger’s in Paramus for their sales.  Mom loved sales.  She was always pushing the carriage, while I would pick out some nice outfits for her and me.  She became a Home Shopping Junkie as she got older, since she stopped driving when my dad retired.  She loved to cook, bake, clean and sew.  She would always tell us when she was raising me, my brother and sister, all the money you could save by doing those four chores.   I think we did do well to cook and bake and clean, but never took up the sewing.  My mom sewed many gowns and blouses that she loved wearing in her younger days.  She was a terrific cook.  She also loved baking her chocolate cake and her famous chocolate chip cookies and her half moon cookies at Christmas time.  Her chocolate pudding pie was also delicious.  I’m going to try to continue with all the traditions that we were brought up with and hoping that they will continue from generation to generation.   Well, mom, there is no more visiting you every day and watching every move you made, and holding your hand, and touching your face, and kissing you and saying “I love you Mom.  We got through another day and I will see you tomorrow”.  Tomorrow never came and you got tired at 95 years old.  Dad finally decided to call you and you were ready to go.  I’m proud that I had you for all these years and now I have all the memories and thousands of pictures to look at, and smile and say we had such great times.  I will miss you very much mom but you will be in my heart every day.  Until we meet again mom, enjoy being with daddy again and I love you very, very much.  Rest in Peace Mom.   Your Loving Daughter, Grace

A wonderful Mother-in-Law She was always in a good mood and never talked bad about anyone. I had the pleasure of having her live with me for a few years and she was never a problem. I will miss her a great deal and she will always be in my heart She joins my mom and dad and her husband and now they can play cards again REST IN PEACE MOM

Hi Gram - 

The kids and I might be physically on the other side of the world right now but you know that you are always and forever in our hearts.  Since the day Nicholas, now 17,  was born, a week didn’t go by  without you and Gramps “taking a ride” to come see us - always with lunch and a “couple of extras.” We will always cherish those afternoon visits of which the kids regularly reminisce.  I will never forget your silly sayings like “thank you love” when the washer/dryer would buzz telling you the laundry was done or the ritz crackers and jelly waiting for me every Friday after school when Mom was working at the salon.  I continue to strive to replicate your cooking but “Grandma’s was better” is often the response, as it should be. Your 65 years of marriage showed us all the true meaning of love and family. We are all so grateful to have had so many memorable years with you.  We love you and we know now you are once again at peace with your beloved. 
Love you Gram - Julie, Nicholas, Victoria & Christina❤️

To our beloved grandmother & great grandmother - To say it was a blessing growing up with you is an understatement. We will always cherish the loving, selfless, caring, and generous person you were. Let’s not forget the best cook who always had her apron on!  May you rest in the sweetest paradise with your beloved husband sharing a glass of red wine together. You are surrounded by great company & our beloved ones. We will forever love and miss you! 
Mike, Angela, Michael, & Melissa

I know Julia from Allendale. Julia always made me happy when she graced me with her smile. My sincere sympathy and prayers to the daughters I met there.  May she Rest In Peace.

From the moment i met Julia i loved her… i thought what a lovely lady~ her face~ her smile~ her laughter and a whole lot of strength. The 3+ years of taking care her and being with her was absolutely wonderful and joyful. I will never forget Julia..i love you and will miss you.

I have the fondest memories of your beautiful Mom. Always looking beautiful and put together. She made me feel like one of the family. Your parents were a big part of my childhood. Rest in eternal peace Mrs. D’Elia. You will now join your sweetheart and son is in heaven.🙏🏼✝️💋💕😇

I will always cherish her funny stories and visits with her at Maria and Matt’s home.
Forever in my heart❤️🌹
