Aunt Lee was our Angel on earth. She blessed us all with her spirit, love and dedication to her family. One time, long ago, I got caught up when sewing a blazer. Aunt Lee had Bill and I go down and she corrected my error, all the while praising me for a complicated job well done ! Aunt Lee  was the life of the party. We all knew that after a family meal and before desserts, she’d be teaching us how to play Michigan rummy. Aunt Lee always made everything better. Our hearts are broken , yet blessed that we had her as our beloved aunt 

I have so many memories !  
Many around holidays & festive eating! 
I’d like to share one you might not know Aunt Lee made me a dress for my first formal -8th grade dance . She used left over bridal material . It was beautiful !  I felt very special  having a dress custom made for me . Thank you Aunt Lee . My memory goes to your hands and the way she used them around the sewing machine/such skill , patience and finesse. 
And…
Thank you for those Sunday dinners ,coming over to our house and allowing us to have a great time with our cousins!
Plus she helped my mom with so many left overs .she wouldn’t have to cook for almost a week!
I miss you all . Sending my love and prayers ❤️

Dear All
It it so hard me to realize that Aunt Lee is gone! She was always a powerful force in our family! I have so many fond memories of her and Uncle Joe coming to my house in Old Bethpage every Sunday and cooking up a storm! These times are forever etched in my brain.  Aunt Lee loved her family and had a special love for my Mom and her children and grand children!

Aunt Lee was the very first person of extended family that I met. She pushed past everyone yelling across the parking lot… David where is she I have to meet her! She made me feel so special welcomed and immediately part of the family from the first second I arrived. I have always been eternally grateful for that feeling. I now try make sure to make all new comers into my family feel as welcomed because of Aunt Lee. 

Of course my other favorite memory is Carols wedding when I had to drive her and David age 4 then threw his sock that that landed on Aunt Lee’s head! I wanted to die! But Aunt Lee peeled it off , laughed, told me all boys do that lol and always had a special place for David from that point on! 
I feel very blessed to be apart of the Brady family and to know Aunt Lee’s love and devotion to family. Thank you Aunt Lee!

We are deeply saddened by Nicolina's passing. Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord. And let perpetual light shine upon her. May she rest in peace. May her soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest of peace.

As long-time friends of Ed, Cecille and family, we had seen firsthand Nicolina's love, caring, and devotion to her family. 

To the entire family, may our thoughts and prayers somehow lighten your grief. 

With love and prayers,
Drew and Priscilla Sagar and Family
Mercedes Limbo and Family

So very  very sorry to hear of “Lee’s “ passing. I worked with her at  the Bridal Boutique of Manhasset which then became the Wedding Salon for almost 20 years until her retirement. She was such a vibrant, energetic, and caring person who also made you laugh during the hectic work day. I used to tell her that she should have been a stand up comedian.  She would speak of her wonderful family and how she adored her three granddaughters and would give me advice on my family situations.  I really enjoyed those conversations and missed them so much after she retired. It was truly a pleasure working with her.

Aunt Lee was a force of nature! She was as tough as nails yet loving  and funny! I’ll always remember sleeping over one weekend when I was about 15 or 16.
We had a blast.  She took me shopping to Korvettes and I went home wearing palatzo pants with a matching midriff top. It was so cool and my parents nearly had a stroke when they saw the choice lol!! She was a rebel! 

I remember socks for Christmas, playing cards after all our family dinners with Aunt Lee and  all 10 kids  - Michigan Rummy. I’ll remember  tips on everything including cooking and lots of love. 

She wasn’t always a complimenter … but she did tell me how gorgeous I looked - once lol… and how my wedding was so fantastic ..  I’ll treasure those memories .. similar to my dad Dom-nick as she called him. The few compliments were those we held onto.

Luv ya Aunt Lee

Dear Edward, Joan, Cecilia, Lauren, Nicole, and Diana,

Ellen called me yesterday and told me the sad news of Aunt Lena's passing. No doubt, she will be missed by many. I am sorry for your loss. Though I have not seen your mother and grandmother in many years, I have very fond memories of her. She left a strong impression with me. I am quite sure that Lena Sireci was the reason that they created the word "vivacious". As attractive on the inside as she was on the outside, she was warm, caring, and her smile lit up the room. Lena had a great sense of humor, an endearing manner, and her laughter was infectious. 

It is no surprise to me, that with her passing at the end of a full life well lived, comes a final act of kindness. One that will help today's and the children of the future to do the same. Over the years, some of my students have been St. Jude patients. In fact, I am teaching one now. Seeking a cure, some have left their homes around the world and relocated with their families here in Memphis to receive St. Jude's cutting-edge medical treatments. I have seen firsthand the many miracles that they do. St. Jude is the real deal- a great institution with physicians and researchers whose work really does save lives every day.

Please know that I send healing thoughts and my prayers your way.


Warmly and with hugs,

Cousin Kate
Memphis, TN
