My sister who I miss so much know that every day at ten o'clock I'll still be calling you. I miss all your good advice and keep looking down on me like I will keep looking up to you. Love you always Leonora

Thank you for teaching me so many life lessons, mom.  I promise I will try to teach those lessons to your grandkids.  Please watch over all of us.  I hope the casinos in heaven have all of your favorite slot machines!

My best friend. We had so much fun!  I am so grateful to have had you in my life.  I'll miss you

Aunt Edwina was a wonderful woman, and was so loved.  I remember Sundays at grandma's house and she would help me sneak the potatoes Grandma so desperately wanted me to stop stealing from the oven.  You are still with us, watching over the family. Love you.

~ Lisa & Sal Bellino (& kids)

Alita, my heart goes out to you and you're family! My thoughts and prayers are with you as you go through this difficult time.

So many great memories. Thanksgiving at your house, we still talk about it, we thought the chicken, potatoes,veggies were dinner only to find out there were more entrees, pasta next with meatballs of course, than the turkey and all the fixings. Not to mention desert. We sat at that table for 5 hours eating. Than Edwina rolled out the TV to watch the football games. My girls have the best  memories of your mom and spending time at your house.  We've been honoring your mom for 30 years now every Christmas Eve by eating a chicken dish she taught me to make. We call it Edwina's Chicken. Love our memories of your family. Oh yes let us not forget Taco nipping at our feet   Lol.

My Aunt Edwina, I will always know that you loved me like a daughter...I remember Steve and Alita teasing you about putting my picture right next to theirs, as if I was your third child.  I am so proud to call you my aunt.   I still feel your love and see your smile.

I don't recall a time spent with you that didn't include a laugh. Your warmth and smile will be missed. Xoxo

My deepest sympathy - Edwina was a wonderful person.  I have great memories of our trips to Atlantic City.  There were so many laughs - from the car ride there, to the dinners & gambling, to the car ride home.  It made me wish for the next girl's trip!  Thanks Edwina - you will be missed xxoo

Alita & Family-  Although my memories of your Mom are from brief encounters etched in my mind from childhood, they are memories of kindness and a warm smile.  I hope that your memories of your Mom allow the tears of loss to give way to smiles and that this brings you continued comfort.  With sympathy,

My beautiful mother, I know you are with me always. Thank you for being the best mom and friend. I am so lucky to call you my mom.

May God bless you and keep you.  You were a wonderful sister and we will miss you.  I will always have fond memories of our childhood and growing up together.  You were a wonderful "Big Sister."
