Grandmom , all I remember without a second thought is ginger ale, jelly air fresheners, you saying neenee everytime I walked in the door. I remember taking Gianna, my oldest, 21 now, over to see you she was only a couple months old. 

Caterina lived next door to us on Juniper Street back in the 1980s and early 1990s. But we felt like more then just neighbors - we were almost like family. I am so eternally grateful for being blessed to know such a kind, generous, caring, and sophisticated woman from such a young age. Her strength and quiet confidence certainly helped shape who I’ve become, and I’ll miss her dearly. Caterina and Cleo were a beacon of light & hope for me and my family during a dark time in our lives. I’ll never forget you ❤️

Mom I missed you dearly through the years now when I go see dad I can visit you also.You were a great mother in law and wonderful grandmother the years the kids were with you.My only sadness is I didnt get to say goodby.Love you always mom your daughter in law Lorraine Di Michiel

Grandmom I always will remember you and daddy, I was a little boy. I remember taking my daughter to see you. Ill never forget your ginger ale and the smell of those air fresheners. I loved you always. You will be in my heart forever and will always remember the feeling I got when you would grab my face and say nini. Love your grandson. Ps I brought flowers to your grave the other day

Cleo even though I didn't know your mother, I'm sure the apple didn't fall far from the tree...I'm sure she was a wonderful and beautiful lady inside and out..

Nona...you will always remain in our hearts; you were so sweet and kind to us and we will miss you dearly.  
Cloe, you were a very special daughter to your Mom; always attentive to all her needs, especially in her later years! You provided her with such love and care as only a daughter can. You are truly an amazing daughter, former neighbor and friend. We thank God always in rememberance of you. All our love, Mark and Cindy

We will miss seeing your mom and her cute little smile and wave. You took such wonderful care of her and for that, she is smiling down on you. Your mom is now back with her husband and of all special days, what would have been their 70th anniversary. Thinking of you today as you lay her to rest. We Love you!! Ron, Erin, and Katie.

Dear Cleo,

Your mom was a special person and we cared deeply for her.  She will be sorely missed.  She knew what a wonderful daughter she had in you and I'm sure she felt safe till the end.  May she rest in peace.

Cleo, the love and care you provided your Mother over the years was impeccable. I cherished each visit to you home. Her smiling face remains forever in my heart . Mom has regained her strength and will help you through each day - just call upon her. Love Renee

Our dear Cleo, we celebrate your Mother's life and mourn her loss.  We will miss our visits with her and her attempts to get us to understand Italian!  Caterina gave us a glimpse of the Italy she grew up in and inspired us to wonderment of the Old Country - she touched our lives in so many ways.  Your Mother had the great good fortune to have a most devoted daughter.  Your love and care made her life richer; you are a shining star.  Love, Bill and Pat

Cleo, your mother was a wonderful, elegant, talented and intelligent woman.  It has been an honor and a pleasure knowing her.  You were the best possible daughter to her right up to the end.  She is now in the arms of her loving husband on their 70th wedding anniversary and they are both looking down on you with love forevermore.  You are a member of our family now, Love, Grace and Rob
