With a lot of grade school memory and love!!!
When my father phoned me with the news I was in great shock. I remember the teenage girl-friend of my cousin Matt, who used to give me piggy-back rides. I remember the peach packing plant and Uncle Richie would joking tell me to stop bothering the girls because I was keeping them from work. Hope, you will be missed. Rest well and be at peace.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.
Hope I cant believe you are gone. You have been such an inspiration to me. i watched you be so strong after every operation and never stayed down. You Loved life and every time I would see you I would be so inspired and say WOW look at her, she just keeps going and going and you always looked amazing through it all. I think about you always and when I found out I thought of your family and how awful it is for them to lose an amazing women. I never had the pleasure of meeting your children but I knew they were the Love of Your Life because you would always talk about them and always always had a beautiful smile when you did. I did get the pleasure of meeting Matt and we all know that he was your Hero and your face would light up when you would see him. You were a wonderful person Hope and I will miss you and I am so sad because you fought for so long and you so deserved to stay here but I do know that you are at peace now so now you can rest!!
Love

RIP Hope. Haven't seen you much in recent years, but the teenage years and our summer days at Wedgwood Country Club pool, are times I'll always remember fondly.

Dear Marsella and Falls families, my 1st memory of Hope Falls occurred at the WW Country Club-back when Wilson Road was a dirt road. She was a beautiful, blonde goddess. Who would know years later, I would get to know the person, Hope Marsella? Families, we are saddened. The last time we were with you, Hope still was the beautiful, blonde goddess hosting Matt's "surprise" party. Love, JoAnn and Rick Haines
Dear Falls & Marsella Families,
So sorry for this indescribable loss. Hope and I recently reconnected through our Our Lady of Grace classmates. We had fun phoning and emailing, barely noticing 47 years had passed since we'd last spoken. That's because Hope's vivaciousness and kindness spanned time and space so effortlessly.
Deeply grateful to have known Hope,

Dear Matt, Iam so sorry for your loss. Hang on to all the wonderful memories that you shared. I will always remember the fun times, and all the laughs we had, she surely was a one of a kind. Rest in peace my friend. Terri Cocchine
Hope and I met in the 70's as co workers. We became friends and shared many happy times. Hope was my hero. I am proud to have been her friend. She was that one person you meet and never forget. I will always remember all the good times and I will miss her so very much. Carol Tucci
Hope was an amazing love life person. Hope I will miss you, and wish I could have spent some time with you. I love you. You will truly be missed.
Dear Matt and Family,
I am so terribly sorry for your loss! I will pray for you and your family as you deal with the loss of Hope. I had the pleasure of working with Hope for many years with WNY Management. She was an amazing manager and I learned so much from her. May she rest in peace and watch down on all her loved ones.

Thinking of my Uncle Matt and cousins Jason and Frankie... we are here for you. Always.
There is a wondrous beauty in knowing your fate. Hope chose to celebrate her life and valiantly fought to the very end. She did it her way.
I imagine Hope basking in the suns of Heaven, near a waterfall of sparkling vodka, rushing over chilled rocks of ice, surrounded by olive trees. Until we meet again... may you rest in peace my sweet Aunt Hope. Cheers.
xoxo,
Casey kate
Matt, I pray God will give you the strength to go on in peace and be thankful of the love you shared with her.

Fond memories of riding bikes through our neighborhoods, as kids in Somerdale, and recalling our times at OLOG. Hope's sweet energy will be missed. May she be resting in Peace.

Matt and family I would not hear from Hope until christmas time came around and she would send me a card inviting me to stop by... there was always a warm welcome and plenty to eat... I love you hope and I will miss you... till we meet again
Knowing Hope was a life changing experience. Her zest for life, her thoughtfulness, her humor and her spirit made you strive to be a better person. She touched so many lives. The world has lost a shining star. Rest in peace, Hope. You will be sadly missed. Krista Jones
Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
