Dear Emily and Joe, please accept our deepest condolences to you and your family.
One of my earliest and perhaps fondest memories of your mom was when I was 4 years old on Halloween. I was dressed as a princess but really wasn't feeling it. I was too shy to ask your mom for help so Silv asked your mom if she could "make me a princess". Aside from the wonderful makeup application, it was the way your mom made me feel when she stood me in front of the mirror and told me how beautiful I was. It wasn't how I looked but the way she made me feel that I'll never forget. I'll never forget that moment nor will I ever forget the kind, caring, generous and loving person that your mom was to me, my sisters and parents (especially to my mom) over the past 50 years. We are going to miss your mother dearly, and I hope that you too will find comfort in knowing that she is reunited with your Dad and is back home in Jesus' love and peace.
With profound love from; Franca, and Commare Rita, Silvana, Nella & Marisa Filippelli and our families.
