Anthony and family, we are so sorry for the loss of your mother and brother. I wish that we were able to be with everyone today but we did’nt find out about the funeral until a few minutes ago. We enjoyed being with your parents and loved your mom’s cooking. She was delightful.
May your fondest memories bring you comfort in the days ahead.
David and Sue Delmonico
It is not often when in the winter season of one’s life someone so very special comes along that makes you feel as though you have been friends for decades. What fond memories Herb and I hold of enjoying a gin and tonic in the backyard and laughing well into the night.
We were good for each other my dear friend and feel so blessed that we were neighbors for a short time and family until the end. My grand daughters will always smile at the sight of cherry tomatoes in a salad that you wouldn’t eat but always included because they looked pretty. Even though they are grown now and on their own, they still talk of the pizzelles and lemon cookies you shared with them. The Texas girl says “Goodbye”.
We’ll see you on the other side of the stars.
Much love,
Herbert & Emmy
Ella Mae & wish to relay our condolences to all the family...
Let me start out by saying that if you were lucky enough to be a family member or friend you always knew that this was one special lady. I was honored to call her Godmother as well as Aunt. Our love for her was without limits & her love back was unconditional. She showed it by welcoming any & all to her East Division Street home with an open door policy. Once in, you would be greeted with a lively banter that only she could provide, hands down the best coffee to be had in all of Syracuse, cookies, pastries & Italian dishes that she just seemed to pull out of thin air & of course the laughter. If you were their on New Years Eve to help celebrate Uncle Tony's birthday (that was a beloved annual tradition for us) you would see the dining room table bursting with all manner of food & yes all prepared by this amazing cook. It will always make me smile when I remember the fun of seeing my Mom & Aunt Rosemary carrying on when they were together, the female version of the 3 stooges for sure. Ella Mae & I have gained a great deal of respect for ageing, because after interacting with Aunt Mary these last few years we are sure she could be the cover girl for AARP because of her strength, wisdom & grace.
We were lucky to have had the opportunity spending time with her and Tony. They were always so welcoming and gracious. I will miss her. Rest in peace my friend.
