Our Mom was a mom long before us, she was one of eleven children, number two in line. We always said God sent us his best angel to be our Mom but in truth he sent her to her Mom first and that taught her everything she needed to truly become the best of the best. Throughout our lives, so many of our friends told us that they wished she was their mom too. Ever loving and always nurturing, she truly loved everyone and reminded us to do the same. There are just not enough words to describe her, loyal, witty, energetic, enthusiastic, she loved to dance and sing and made every single moment special. We have so often said, we are rich beyond belief, it may not have been with money but with love it overflowed.
Her Grandchildren and GiGi’s quite simply adored her. They never wanted to leave her house. She was one of those grandparents that got down on the floor with them, played with them in the pool, went to the amusement parks and just did whatever they wanted to do. She just simply wanted to be with them for every special moment in their lives. Their memories with her will last them all a lifetime.
Mom stood by us through every single aspect of our lives, from day one, she was supportive. A Mom, a confidant, a best friend and above all our Angel on Earth. She taught us everything she knew and then some, she allowed us to falter and was there to pick us up. She stood by us in the good days and the bad and taught us mostly how to love. Our lives will never be the same without her, but she prepared us to lead a life well lived. Doing that without her will be a most difficult challenge, we will continue to take it One Day at a Time.
Family and friends are invited to attend her viewing Tuesday, January 30th 9:00 – 11:00 AM at the Egizi Funeral Home, 119 Ganttown Rd., Washington Twp. Funeral service 11:00 AM.
