My mother was always a beautiful woman; when I was sixteen people thought she was my sister, when I was thirty people still thought she was my sister.   My mother had four children and was a devoted mother and a loving wife to my father Sam (Saverio).   
She would make my tie for me when I attended kindergarten and then was the one who taught me how to make my own tie.   As a boy she enjoyed having me help her cook, it was my job to prepare the vegetable and stir the pots.   I believe my love of cooking nurtured from me helping my mother all the time.   
She and my extended family would plan the children’s birthday parties in the cellar of our Brooklyn home and invite other family members to partake of the festivities; it was truly a wonderful time. 
In 1958 my parents took me to Puerto Rico and there met my mother’s family for the first time.    I can recall how she and her sisters would talk so fast and they all called her by a nickname “Chitene”.    Sometimes when I would call her on the phone, I called her Chitene so it would bring back pleasant memories for her.   She would laugh and laugh at that, and it made my day to make her happy.   
When my father took my mother on their first date, they knew they would be married.   It was love at first sight.
When my father died, she also died spiritually, she had no desire to go on.   Five month later she joined him, and I know they are once again happily living spiritually together.   
I will miss her so dearly.   Love you Mom, Michael
