Our deepest condolences from the staff at Schimunek Funeral Home

Dear Mom, 
Out of all of the things that I will miss, I will miss our uncontrollable giggle fits the most. How we loved to laugh together. I will miss our ability to communicate without words & pick up a conversation days later and Dad just shaking his head with a smile on his face, confused about what we were talking about. I will miss how you listened to me patiently and without judgment when I shared with you all of my life's disappointments, fears, happiness, hopes and dreams.  I will miss your guidance, your moral support, your encouragement, your beautiful smile, your ability to make things seem better, and Mom I will miss your friendship. I will do my best to be happy even here without you because I know that your worst nightmare is having any of your kids/grandkids unhappy.  I will honor you by being happy and living my life to its fullest with my husband and my boys, and of course Queenie. I will remind my brothers that you would want them happy when they need reminding. I will keep you in my mind and heart every day, forever, until I see you again.  Be ready to dance and giggle girlfriend.  Missing you so much.  Love you forever.  Your baby girl, Kelly.

My deepest sympathies to you: Joey, Scott, Tony, and Kelly. You are all in my prayers.

                                          Your neighbor Don Watson from Edgar Terrace.

Joe, Scott, Tony and Kelly...We are very sorry for the loss of your wonderful Mom. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers during this most difficult time. Love from the Eyring Family...

Dear sweet Ms. Anita (my 2nd Mom), you will always have my heart.  You let me be a part of your family all of my life, fed me, hugged me, yelled at me, loved me, taught me right from wrong, and most of all made me wash the pots and pans after dinner.  To this day I can't stand dishes sitting in the sink!  You made me a kinder person and a stronger woman.  I am honored to have shared your life here on earth, and looking forward to seeing you again - I love you so and will miss you madly...say Hi to Mr. Gary and Muttley for me, Love, Jen Arbour xoxo

Joe, and the entire Mancuso family. My prayers, my family's prayers and condolences are extend to you all for your lost. Our GOD is a good GOD, and HE will comfort you!!! Celebrate your Moms life, and be happy because she is FREE!!! GOD Bless you all!! Praise HIM!!

Anita was my best friend and Scrabble partner, many games we played  and she was always winning, will miss her phone calls

Dearest Anita
Some of my best memories are of the times we shared as cousins growing up in the 1950's, and the things our families (Peters/Palmer) did together.  I will never forget you.
Love, Christine

Darling Anita,  You were always my best friend.  We went to first grade, at St. Ursula's, and Seton High School together.  When our Dads were in the military in the Second World War, what a joy it was to live together in the same home with our Mom's.  You always made me laugh.  You paid me a quarter if I would go to teen age dances with you.  I tried to teach you how to ride a bike and STOP IT, by laying down on the sidewalk.  I knew you would put on the brakes so you wouldn't run over me.  That plan DID NOT WORK, you bicycled right over me.  We learned about God together, we learned about life together.  I loved you with all my heart-all my life.  I will see you soon, in Heaven and miss you so now.  I love you, Neets.

Joe, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.  
God Bless...Carol Nelson

Bye bye Mom Mom Neets.  You will forever be remembered and always missed.  You hold a dear place in my heart.  You accepted me into your family and kept me there even after I left.  You treated my daughter Autumn just like one of your own grandchildren.  Your kindness and love knew no bounds.
God Bless You and May you Rest in Peace.
P.S. Say hi to Dee Dad for us.

Anita was a lovely lady and a great neighbor. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.

Anita, when I was a little girl growing up, I always thought that you were so pretty! I remember a trip to Lancaster to eat at Dutch Haven. We had to stand in a long line waiting to be seated and you talked with me the whole time. I can remember thinking, "Wow I want to be like her...she is nice and pretty! I am so glad the last time I saw you, I got to tell you that story. You Dear Sweet Anita have left an impression in my life...forever a footprint.

Thank you, Aunt Anita for sharing your love and zest for life. I remember summers and Christmas Nights where we as children ran amok and just laughed ourselves silly with you. I will miss you. Your Loving Niece, Marion
