"Nonna and Mom are the words our greatly beloved mother cherished and lived selflessly for her family. Mom was the pillar of strength for our entire family and was always at the ready to support her children and grandchildren no matter the circumstances. Mom left behind a huge legacy of love. A great role model who taught her children and grandchildren the meaning of family by her actions of love our entire lives.

Mom was always smiling when she saw the sparkle in her children and grandchildren's eyes appreciating her efforts. Mom loved her parents and siblings dearly often telling us of her deep admiration for them and wonderful family life with them. Mom took great strides in making her own home and was always inviting and welcoming to her siblings, extended family and friends. She led by example in her unselfish acts of assisting others in her community.

We will continue her legacy and continue to make her proud. Although in the hospital, Mom's sudden passing was peaceful in her sleep surrounded by her family. While we mourn the loss of our Mom, we celebrate her life, her accomplishments and her positive impact on the lives she touched. We will miss her a lot but she will forever remain in our hearts and in our minds.

We love you Nonna! We love you Ma!"
