Memories of Aunt Ollie that put a smile on our faces always the first Christmas card to arrive. Sending us books when we were young ( till today we both love to read), Avon perfume holders ( one we remember is a glass swan ). She was warm , funny and generous. Even though we did not see her in recent years we will cherish the memories. Rest in peace Aunt Ollie With all our love Carolyn and Anna Marie

Dear Ollie,
I was very sad to hear about your passing. I know you couldn't go on the way you were, but we still don't like to hear that one of our own is gone. You picked the day Mom left us too!
You became related to me when you married Pat. After I married, you were my first "landlord", but that did not interrupt our being in a good relationship as sister-in-laws. After a few years, we were reunited again; this time as my very dear, very kind next-door neighbor. Our children grew up together and, in retrospect, that was so special. The holidays we celebrated together were outstanding and nothing in recent years can compare to the Christmas Eve's our families shared. It's sad, but we take things for granted when they are happening. If we could only turn back the clock and recapture those special moments once more!
Rest assured that I will always remember and miss our weekly talks. Be happy now that you have joined Pat and the rest of the family.
Love always & forever into Eternity,
Rose Ann
P.S. Call me from heaven if St. Peter allows it and pray for all of us always!

Grandma,
The greatest gift I ever received was when I graduated and my Dad flew me down to Florida to see you and pop-pop. You have know idea how much that trip meant to me. You and pop-pop helped me achieve my college education and inspired me to do great things. Not many women your age had a college degree and that was a driving force for me to complete my Masters in Social Work like pop-pop. I will miss the phone calls about the weather and the laughs I shared in Florida with you... that Summer will remain with me forever. Take care, rest easy, RELAX, and watch over all of us. I love you and have missed you since the day you moved to Florida.

Knew Ollie, a dear family friend since I was sixteen years old when we moved in next door to her and and her family in Ozone Park. She and my mother had daily coffee klatsches for years, until my parents moved, and Ollie and Pat retired in Florida. We stayed in touch by phone and mail regularly, even more so after my mother died twelve years ago. There will be a big void in my life. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family and loved ones. It was an honor and priviledge to have had her in my life. How she'll be missed. A kinder and more compassionate human being would be hard to find.

Dear Aunt Ollie: I have not seen you in recent years, but no one can take away all the fond memories I have of growing up right next door to you and Uncle Pat...you were a second set of parents to me and your children were my siblings too. I got to spend a lot of time with you, not only in Ozone Park, but in Crandon Lakes also and those wonderful times are first and foremost in my mind. So, although I may not have seen you recently, you and Uncle Pat are etched in my mind forever. No one can take that away from me. Although your family will miss you dearly, I do know that you were reunited with Uncle Pat and that, in and of itself, gives me the greatest comfort...I love you and thank you for some of my most treasured memories...Love always, Anne xoxox

Nana, I miss you so much. When Mom told me you had passed I was not as prepared as she told me to be. I'm going to miss all the good memories of playing cards. You were the only one who would play with me and never let me win. I guess that was the Scorpio in us haha. I will miss our talks, especially when I would bring you out to lunch. Oh and hearing about the weather haha. The times we had were very special. I was so lucky to have you for 22 beautiful years. I'm going to miss a lot of stuff, too much to write, but you know what they are and that is what matters to me. Love and miss you Nana. Say Hello to Pop-Pop.

Mrs. Tufano,
It is with great love and respect that I say the following, although miles separated us you always made yourself a part of our lives. You called, sent pictures (copies only, you would not give up the originals!) and letters. You were truly interested in our lives and made us feel special. I will miss not hearing from you during the next big snow storm! Thank you for being a loving and supportive mother in law. Karen

As something of an adopted son of your parents, Marie, Olivine, Rickie and Mike; I know better than most how much your Mom and Dad were always proud of all of you! The time I spent living with your family, as interesting as I know it was for you guys, was one that I look back upon as a great gift for me! To the degree that I have turned out well, is in no small part due to the kindess your whole family showed me then. That includes all the bumps and scrapes too! My prayers and thoughts are with you.
And I am counting on your Mom and Dad to leave the back door in heaven open for me to sneak in by!
Love
Your Cousin/Brother Gerard!

Mom, I know you are with Daddy now and you are at peace -that gives me peace. You went to sleep and during your dreams you went to heaven. I hope I took good care of you but I am happy that I can now be your daughter again and not your caregiver. Rest in peace, Mommy. You'll be in my heart and soul forever. Love you. Your Daughter, Rie
