Norma and Rose.

When Bill and I moved into the CSI president’s home, this small, framed picture dominated the living room bookshelf. I eventually met both ladies, who were extremely gracious to me.  The year Norma was inaugurated into Women of Achievement, Rose Volpe, who had been very ill, insisted on attending. She left her wheelchair at the door of the Nicotra ballroom and joined me using a cane.  When the program was over, Rose insisted on congratulating Norma in person so we pushed our way through the crowd of congratulants so that these two amazing ladies could hug, probably for the last time as Rose died soon after.  This week I’m reminded again of the legacy of Norma who gave so much to Staten Island…and to her friends.  We miss them both and send our deep sympathies to Norma’s family.

Norma this one hurts   I’m sorry I have not seen you over the years but I thought of you often.
 You were my grandmother’s Giovanna Scano best and most loyal friend. I have so many fond memories of you and Judge D’Arigo . Every time I would see you after my grandmother passed you would say boy your grandparents loved you ! I miss my pal   Every time I would choke up.
Rest easy ! You lived an amazing life! A life with grace and such class ! You put your community first and helped so many   You were one of the great ones who I admired so much.
Now say hello to my grandparents, my father , and of course Judge D’Arigo.
Rest easy Norma   May GOD Guide you through heaven and eternal peace.
Your work on this earth is complete and done ! 

Love you 

Matt Scano 

Wonderful lady who shared her gift of making her community better. Staten Island was so fortunate to have her vision and commitment.
