Dear Nancy & Eric,
Our heart breaks to hear of your mom's/grandmother's passing. We are keeping your entire family in our hearts, thoughts and prayers.
Dear Nancy and Eric,
I am so sorry for your loss. I pray that you find comfort in all your great memories. Please know that I am praying for you and your families. Much love always!
My Auntie Gloria was such a wonderful person. She was always the life of the Fontanella Family. I have so many wonderful childhood memories of her. Like so many others before me and after me, I remember walking to their home on Furnace Avenue to get my piano lessons. I so cherished the family sing alongs at the piano. She will be greatly missed.
To my cousins, please know you are in our thoughts and prayers. I can't imagine how much you will miss her, but please know she is in a better place and will always be smiling down on you and your families.
My Auntie Gloria was part of my happiest childhood moments. Too many memories to share but I will never forget the advice she gave me when my loving, husband, Kurt passed away. Only someone who has experienced the loss of their beloved can truly understand the grief and shock of losing a piece of your heart that can never be replaced.....Memories are what get you through and enable you to 'Live' again. My thoughts and prayers are with our family and all her adored her, for she was loved by all. Tammy XOXO
Andrea & Bob,
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your Mom. I know how difficult this time is. Rely on family and friends, they are a great comfort. God BLess
As I was reading your moms obituary I was surprised of how many things she accomplished in her lifetime. I saw her maybe 3-4 times as I live in Maine, but always heard of her from Dave and Krista, and I'm sure if cats could talk they would talk of her kindness of animals. I know she must have been loved by all who knew her. I do know what you are going through Dave Krista and family and I also know I will be praying for your family,and for Thursday. I remember that at our moms funeral I was asked to write a poem, and I remember the one line that got the tears to flow. "it's always hard to say goodbye".
Gloria allowed me to fulfill my dream of entertaining at convalescent homes by asking me to direct the Goldentones about 4 years ago. It was a deep pleasure to work with her on this project and I also played pinochle with her in Willington for many years. She was an excellent card player. I will miss her greatly. She was a nice person and a great friend, but most of all a true lady with a big heart.
Gloria touched so many lives, she will truly be missed. She was a wonderful teacher and mentor. She will always have a special place in our hearts.
We send our deepest sympathies.
The Rocchetti Family
Bill and Pat,

Andrea and Nancy, my sincerest condolences on the loss of your Mom. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
