Dear John & Family,

Dolores was a great mother in law to me and I will cherish the memories we made together always. I'm glad I was able to see her last year and visit for a bit.  May she rest in peace and watch over you all.  You are in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Lora

Dear John and Family,

I won't be able to attend the services today but my thoughts and prayers are with you.  You took care of your Mom when she needed you the most.  I'm sure that will warm your heart for years to come.

To my mom who was more than a mother. You were my best friend, confidant,  and my security when I needed it most. You stuck by me countless times and always believed in me. It's amazing how many lives you have touched and how many friends, girlfriends and wives that had said they wished you were there mom. I will forever miss you and will be calling on you daily to guide me through the rest of my days. Rest in peace mom, you are now at home . 
All our love Paul, Adrianna and Frankie

Dear Aunt Dolores,

Santillo family, my Dad, and Uncle Sonny, my deepest sympathies go out to you all.  Rest in Peace Aunt Dee.  I love and miss you!  "Goldie"

John (a.k.a. Long Island), 

I am fortunate to know you because of your mom. I'm positive that your caring heart and generous spirit come from her. Allow me to share these words with you and your family:

"When you speak of her, speak not with tears, for thoughts of her should not be sad. Let memories of the times you shared give you comfort, for her life was rich because of you."   Author Unknown

Dear John, Nicole and Gina - I know you will miss your Mom and Grandma. She is with her Lord and all her famly and friends. Hoping this brings you peace and comfort in this time of sadness. With sympathy, Karen Doering

My wonderful pal Dolores (Chico) of 67 years has left us.  I will miss you dearly.  We had the best of times in our teenage years we shared great memories throughout the years.  I am happy we had the last few days together.  When I was leaving we hugged and kissed and said I love you to each other for the last time.  Rest in Peace my friend I love you and will miss you.Mary Ann Pico, Staten Island N.Y.

Dear Dolores(aka) Dee
Rest in peace with our Lord Jesus Christ. I will always remember our times together when we all went to your house in Oceanside.... A lot of fun memories.  I love you
Lorraine

I have wonderful memories Dear cousin Dolores of you and cousin Richie may God bless you. Rest in peace Dee.

"I love you, I love you, said the little blue man." Nanny, you were more than a grandmother to me, You were my friend. You were and always will be my Nanny. You let me be a child when I was young and showed me it was ok to always be young at heart when I grew up. I am so lucky to have had you in my life as much I did. Everyone who knew you would say it was an honor. I'm beyond words for the happiness I feel knowing you are no longer suffering and are surrounded by the ones you love who were waiting for you to join them in Heaven. I know you'll guide me and be at my back as I journey through the rest of my life. I hold you close in my heart and you are always with me in thought. I love you.

You were not only my mother in law for the last 30 years but a second mom to me. You were my friend and confident and I will miss you dearly.

Dolores' passing is a huge loss to your family just as her life was a blessing. May the memories of a lifetime you share in your hearts give you comfort through this difficult time. We are here to support you through your grief journey. We pray God's unconditional love will touch your hearts with all you need today and always.
We continue to lift you in our prayers!

God had answered so many prayers and was faithful to you to the very end. You are now reunited with daddy, nanny, aunt gail and uncle bob, uncle ronnie and of course our maker himeself Jesus Christ. I love you Mom and I will see you again soon. Give everyone a hug and kiss for me.  Love your son Johnny...
