Lola 
You are gone but not forgotten!
Miss you still .
Love you forever.
Maria


Mom, I'm so proud to be your daughter. You were alway's there for Me, nursed me back to heath when we lost My Johnny. I could never thank you enough. We have had some Great times. Our last cruise was the Best. It was such a honor to take of you in the end. My Mama, My Best Friend. Your, Kathleen

Seeing so much joy brought by one person to a family that was not even her own (on paper) brings warmth to a sometimes very cold world. Lola was so special and always treated me . . . an even further removed extension of the Cirilli Family . . . like a son.

I will never forget melting down the s'mores on the fire in the chiminea at night during her visits and talking about the stars and constellations we could see, and it gives me comfort knowing that she is now among those stars and constellations making them a so much brighter.

I want thank you, Lola, for always being there for my part of the Cirilli line through all of the celebrations and emergencies, and for graciously being part of our wedding, allowing me to squeeze in just one more important friend into the receiving line by walking with him into the reception hall.

You are going to certainly be missed by Graziella, who always looked so forward to your weekly conversations, by Clara, who would always get so excited at the news of your coming to visit, by the Woodruff family (my relatives) who always enjoyed your company at the family gatherings for which you came to New Jersey to attend, and by me . . . who will miss the joy you brought to everyone in my life.

The times spent with you have been nothing short of blessed. Whether going to movies or middle of the week ice cream or dinners together and of course Saturday night mass. You lived your life well and the care and love you gave to everyone will be missed. 
I love you mother Glaser! You are now in God's hands. 

Lola was part of my life for many years.Her daughter Kathy is my best friend. We have shared many happy and also sad memories. I know she was overjoyed to be reunited with her loved ones that have gone before her. Til one day when we are altogether again we will think of her often.

Lola
I could not let you go without saying one more time how much I love you.
Thank you for being my friend for all those years and for being there for good times as well as bad times.
I am going to miss our weekly talk and  your cheerfulness every time I picked up the phone. I will miss all the joy and happiness you brought to this family.
Thank you for being a grandmother to our kids. You loved them and they loved you in return.
I am so glad that we got to see you one more time before saying goodbye.
I will always treasure our special moment of sharing our lives.
Our cup of tea every afternoon and most of all for being my very best friend.
Carlo and I feel blessed to have known you and shared so many memories.
Be at peace in the hands of God my friend!
Love you always,
Maria & Carlo

Lola, you were my grandmother in every sense of the word. As a child, you always had hugs and kisses, candies in your pocketbook and words of praise and encouragement. You taught me how to make the most delicious pumpkin cookies and potato salad and how to really enjoy a movie. We enjoyed so many times together: roller skating, watching movies, babysitting my sisters and wading in the pool. 

As I grew older, you became more than my grandmother- you became my friend. You were there for me during all the wonderful times and you were there for me during the difficult times. I will forever treasure that you shared my birthdays, sacraments, proms, wedding and Clara's birth with me. I will be forever blessed that you prayed with me and for me during the difficult times. You were always there to talk and you helped dry my tears, lift my spirits and find the courage and strength to always move forward.  

You were one of the most generous, genuine and loving people ever! Your beauty and strength and your kindness and compassion for others were always an inspiration to me. Thank you! 

Just when I thought having you as my grandmother and friend was the best thing that could ever happen, you became a great-grandmother to Clara. The pride, love and joy you shared with us were always present in our lives- and forever will be.  Clara is the luckiest girl to have known you and your love. 

Thank you for the countless hours of conversation, your smile, the s'mores (Eric loved making them for you!), guidance and most of all for loving us all. It was not just a coincidence that we all found each other- it was God's grace that brought us together. He created a family that will never be separated. I know you are in pure peace and happiness now, watching and guiding us still. I am thankful that my family had you in our lives. You multiplied the love a million times over!

Lola, my grandmother, my friend, my cheerleader, you will forever be in my heart. Rest in peace, Gramma Lola.

Gramma Lola was the epitome of what a gramma should be...kind, loving, generous.  I can hear her voice now, entering the room "How do??" singing more than talking really.  I can feel her super soft hand holding mine right now.  And I can see her beautiful smile, saying "I love ya."  Gramma Lola, you told us that we brought you so much joy.  The joy you brought me will last me a lifetime.  I'll love you forever.  Cheers to you!

I was one of the lucky ones; I knew Gramma Lola for my whole lifetime.  I can't begin to describe all of the warm, comfy memories that are packed into these past 4 decades. She took care of us, she played with us, she listened to us, she laughed with us and she cried with us. Above all, she loved us, and we loved her...with a love so deep you carry it around with you every minute of every day. And so, we will go on, carrying her in our hearts forever. 

Lola, I feel so blessed to call you my gramma. And although Cecilia knew you only a short while, she will know all about the years of happiness and love you shared with us.

Memories are too many to share but I want to say:
Lola my dearest friend. You are gone but not forgotten.
You will always be in my mind and forever in my heart.
Love you forever,
Maria
