She traveled many of the United States and twice as many countries abroad.. her favorite was of course Italy … she had experienced and seen many beautiful places and touched many a lives.

Maga threw the best holiday gatherings, leaving no stone unturned …perfection was her middle name. Every room decorated tastefully with music playing, and the smell of the best Italian Lasagna ever. Images of Christmas back home will never be forgotten.

Maga was definitely a saint and will be missed by every soul she touched, she was selfless, kind and beautiful …with the biggest heart of gold ever. She gave her children the gift of unconditional Love, taught us respect, dignity, right from wrong, religion and love .. ..the list is too long to write..

From your children…..Maga…, you’re at the heart of all good things…as we 3 look back on life , we all realize now that you gave us all the direction and encouragement we needed, and whenever things got a little bumpy, we could always count on you to help us out. All the things you have done for us, all the sacrifices and long talks at the kitchen table, and yes, the hugs too have given us the differences in our lives.

We LOVE you Maga for that, …we assure you we will always be the best brothers and sister to each other and wherever life may lead us, our hearts will always be with you….

May she Rest In Peace and be happily reunited with Pops, Debbie, Adam, her mother, father and brothers and of course all of her baby dogs whom she adored and loved.

We siblings, grandchildren and great grandchildren cannot imagine a world without Maga, ….our hearts are broken and as her love for us was unconditional,… our love for her will be never ending.
