Our sincerest condolences prayers to all. Very nice memories we had when we all lived in College Point . I remember Aunt Del trying to teach me how to knit but being Left Handed it was a trial and a lot of patience. Our summers where always fun with barb-b-ques and swimming in the “pool” when we where young !! Now Aunt Del is joining her family and friends to watch over us! So sorry .Give Dad hugs from his Goddaughter and all the family from us .

I just loved this lady, I have known her for 40+ years, as she worked for my Mother’s company when I was a teenager. She was ALWAYS smiling, positive and oh so sweet. Never a cross word to say about anyone or anything. I can still hear her laugh right now.
I cannot imagine how much her family will miss her, she was so dear. Warren is also a real sweetheart, and I can see how they were married for so long. A perfect and beautiful couple! They even “starred” in our TV commercial once when my Mom had her gift shop!
Adele was helping my Mom with her books up until just a couple of years ago, when they both couldn’t go out that much like they used to. My Mom, Kay Sciarra trusted her to the ends of the Earth.
She will never be forgotten, and will be so dearly missed.

Jayne and Family,
The earthly loss of your mother is both difficult and daunting. Your strength will come from her spirit. She gave you the gifts of laughter, empathy, compassion, and especially love. Her flesh became weak, but her spirit lives on. While I didn’t know your mother, I know one of the gifts she gave the world – a caring, insightful, genuine daughter. May you find strength and comfort from all the lessons she taught you and all the love she gave you.
