You were the greatest, most loving woman I ever knew. You always took care of me and my brother. Basically you spoiled us. Whether it was taking us to the playground, the shore (AC), Johnson swim club, Kiddie City or Toys R Us. You did it all, taught me to bowl, play cards, and cook. There wasn’t much you couldn’t or wouldn’t do for your family, especially your grandkids. I’m glad I got to see you before you left us. The last words I said to you as I kissed you on the forehead was you deserved better than this, and you did. You deserved so much better. I just hope that your suffering is over and you’re in a better place. A place with all night slot machines and bowling. I’ll miss you and love you always.

My mom was the heart and soul of our family. She instilled love and respect for everyone by her kind words and actions everyday of her life.

She loved her family especially her grandchildren Anthony and Michael. She was a tremendous influence in raising them into the fine young men that they have become. She took exceptional joy in her great grandchildren and the time they spent with her.

She was a very religious person who practiced her faith on a daily basis. Her favorite Saint was Saint Jude for she thought nothing was impossible if you prayed hard enough.

She loved to gamble especially in the casinos with the slot machines being her favorite game. Bowling was a big part of her life and she continued to team bowl until she was 84 years old.

She was always there for me no matter what and gave me a mother’s unconditional love. It is with a very heavy heart that I say I will truly miss your mom but I will always remember and love you forever. With much admiration and love your son Anthony.
