She was a very special lady.  I loved her dearly.  She was like a mom to me for many years.  The sweetest woman next to my mom that I ever knew.  I thank her over and over again for the 40 years that I had with my husband.  She was wise enough to know that we were a good match.  Thank you Mrs. Ciardo.  My love to all the kids.

Dear Sweet MOM, what can I say that so many others have already said.  I can say, however, that I was given the gift, the very best gift, in being allowed to have you for so long a time.  Its not enough!  Smart, funny, and completely unselfish - what a MOM you are.  I know you are with our Lord and that his welcome, with wide open arms, to you, a new Angel, was like winning a "BIG GAME" at Bingo.  I will miss you until I see you again.

Your daughter, Mary Ann

Wishing your family peace and healing in this time of sorrow. Love to you all!

To all the children of Aunt Gerry,  Our thoughts & prayers are with the whole beautiful family. Loved the pictures of all the get-to gethers. Love was evident in the pictures. May God be with you at this time of loss. Love Marie(Ciardo) Karow & Carolyn (La-La Ciardo) Hanson.

To my mom.  You were there smiling because you brought the family together again and it brought me peace.  I always said you were so wise.

They say "Your heart is where your home is" and my heart will always be with you and our family.  It was a very wonderful day.  Mom, thank you for everything.

Theresa,
So sorry to hear about your Mom.  I just looked through all the pictures on the Funeral Home website and what a beautiful lady she is.  Just looked so happy and so full of life.  You could really see in every picture the love of her family in her eyes.  I know she enjoyed her Bingo so I am sure she has already organized a Ciardo Bingo Night up in Heaven.  You now have a beautiful angel watching over you and the rest of your family.  I miss seeing you at work.  Take care of yourself.

Mary Ann and family: My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Each time I see the Ciardo name, I think of you and the many distant relatives from my mom's side of her family. I wish you peace.

To my loving Mom,  what will I do without you...I will miss you so much.  I know in my heart that you are having a great time with all your family & friends.  It's very hard knowing you are gone but I know bingo is where I will find you.  Please save a seat for me for when it's my time to see you again & I will see you again.  You are in my heart forever & ever.  I love you so much.  Leave a light on for me.  Your Loving Baby Daughter.

Theresa and Mary Ann,
You and your family have my deepest sympathies for your loss.  Your mom sounded like a wonderful woman and I wish I could have met her.  I think we would have fun going to bingo together.  Now she can play any time she wants.  She is happy and at peace. Know that you are both in my thoughts and prayers.

Hi Susie,
Goocey Girl, thank you for your kind thoughts. Now I know why I always liked you. Hope your doing well.
Arnold

Georgia, Tony and the rest of the family,memories of St. Joes', your home near there and when you moved, your mom & dad in the kitchen and the laughter and fun that was had. They are all flooding back to me. Prayers sent.

Hi ma its me. You know who. The child that gave you the most trouble. Do you know that old saying? Well here it is.Do I have to bend over backwards to help you? With all the practice that you had when it came to me,you made it look so easy. Ma,I never said it enough.I love you,I will miss you always, and lastly thanks for bending over backwards to help me.
Leave the light on for me.
Love,
Your son Chuck

I will always remember my first game of bingo was with you and all of my cousins. I won nothing, but somehow you walked away with winning 3 games almost in a row. I wasn't surprised. I always thought you were the lucky one, and I still think that...but I know now that WE were the lucky ones all along. You will be greatly missed but all of us Ciardo's. I love you grammie grammie. RIP forever in my heart.

To my wonderful, kind and generous Mother.  What will I ever do without you.  My heart breaks at what you had to endure but my heart soars to know that you are finally happy and at peace.  My most precious moment was on on Saturday night when you got your "WISH" and "MOM","YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL TOO"
Keep the light on for me!
Your Loving Daughter,
Theresa

Arnold, I wanted to send my condolences to your family and you.  My fondest mermory of your mom is when she used to refer to me as Goocey Girl.  My thoughts are with you at this time.

Susie Cornfield (Kohnke)

Arnold, I wanted to let you know how sorry I am for your loss. Thinking of you.

Susie Cornfield (Kohnke)

Shelly & Family,

Our thoughts and prayer are with you all. So very sorry for the loss of your Mother, You now have an angel watching you all the time!!  R.I.P.

I will always remember my great Aunt finding her way by bus to our house for coffee and chat. She was a witty spunky lady. I will see you all at her life's celebration on Friday. Memories filled with smiles but hearts sad at your loss. She is at God's party and knowing the Ciardo's.....it is one heck of a show I am sure!

Sorry for your loss she was always my favorite Aunt I know she is listening to my Dad's (George) stories right now and wishing she was at bingo

Grammie Grammie, you were the best grandmother I could ask for. I'm so so sad you're gone, but I'm happy that you're no longer in pain or suffering. I know you're probably playing bingo right now, and I'm sure you're winning every time, but save a spot for me so we can play with the ferris wheel and the crocodile together again. I will miss you and you'll be in my heart forever. I love you so much!

Dear Arnie, Chuck, Gloria and the rest of the Ciardo family,

We are so sorry for your loss.  Your mother lived a long life, but we are never ready to lose our precious parents. Our Mom died 3 years ago and I myself was amazed at the amount of grief that overcame me and that there is no timeframe for when it ends. Remember the happy times and even the not so happy, they will make you laugh, heal you with her love, and always keep her alive in your hearts. We will keep the family in our prayers.  

God Bless,

Here is a candle in memory of my grandma. <3

I love you, Grammie Grammie. I am so so sad that you're gone, but I'm happy for you because you're happy in heaven without pain or suffering. I hope you play all the bingo you can up there. And save me a spot next to you so we can play with the ferris wheel and crocodile together. I will miss you so much and think of you often!

To my wonderful & Loving Mom. You were the glue that held us all together. We will miss your Love, Sassyness, & Laughter. You made sure we never went without anything. I will love you until the end of my days and then I'll see YOU again.
Keep the light on for me.
Your loving daughter Shelly

Ma,You were everything good on this earth. I will never forget the stories you came home with after your adventures riding the bus. Enjoy it up there. You deserve it. I love you.
Jean Ciardo

All my sympathy and prayers to everyone.  I am sure she is having a great time with my Dad now.  She will be greatly missed!

To my beloved Grandma. You are the true epitome of the word. I will think of you often and will miss you from the depth of my soul. I will love you forever.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I have  good memories of your mom & dad from the many times I was at your house. My thoughts and prayers are with you, along with memories of special times and having fun.
Diane (Matejka) Bauer

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.. She is having the conversation with George that she has missed for so long, and probably still trying to convince him to try Bingo... She was a good person who enjoyed a good laugh...

My thoughts and prayers are with you all! She will be forever missed and loved, she was a wonderful Aunt!
