Josie, I am so sorry to hear that your mother has passed. I loved your mom. She was a very special lady. She would always hug me, every time I would see her and remember me from East Wheeling days.
I feel blessed that I have good memories of her and you from my past.
She will always be in my heart. God Bless you and your family.
With Love, Mary Alice

I am sending my thoughts and prayers to Tom (Tommy) Paree who was a
student in Mrs. Rice's class in grade school. My mother, Mrs. Rice,
always remembered Tommy fondly. I also send my prayers to Amalia's
daughter, Josephine, and her family. My husband,Jack, and I always
enjoyed seeing Amalia after Mass at St. Michael's. I loved hearing
her speak Italian and getting a hug and kiss from her. She was a very
special lady and will always be in my prayers.

Zia was always smiling or whistling whenever we saw her. We will always remember her hugs and her dancing especially with Johnny. We are sure she is in her special place in heaven where she is going for her favorite car ride.
Take solace that Zia enjoyed a long and loving life with us. Our prayers are with you at this difficult time.
