Joe and family, I’m so shocked and sorry to hear about Marie. She sure was a very special person. I think back at the good time when I took Marie and Joe out to see Joe’s family. Matthew Malandruccolo was with us. The ride to Michigan and back was just hilarious. We had so much fun. When they came down State and stayed we all had so much fun. We will always be family. I know you are all so close and will have each other to lean on. Take good care of Joe, this is going to be hard on him. God Bless you all!!

Cousin Emily Wilson
In deepest sympathy to the family of my dear 1st cousin Marie. We go back a long way growing up in the huge close knit family we were born into. I babysat Marie quite a lot and she lived with me, my husband and daughter Barbara. In fact she gave Barbara her first meal of a grilled cheese sandwich 1 day after having her tonsils removed after asking the 3 year old what she wanted to eat. God bless her and her surviving family. RIP Marie with all our loving family that I know you are with now. Love you,
Emily

Granny,
You have no idea what you meant to me. And to so many. I have been running to you on the bad days since as far back as I could drive. Talking with you never once failed to make me feel just so much better. <3 I will think of you and remember you always. I love you so much. Kiss my Aunt for me.
I will my our conversations,
Your Nephew,
Roy
