Vincenzo D’Onofrio Relation to Deceased: relative dearest zia Fedora, I know you are now with zia Valda, nonno Vincenzo and all your beloved persons, but I’m sure that you wil always be close to us that are on earth and that you will try to protect all those that you love. Ciao zia Fedora… The butterfly emerges from its silken shell- Reborn, it arises, no longer bound to earth. Free at last, the butterfly glides to heights unknown before. So do our loved ones find a beautiful release as, earthbound no more, they leave our sight and joyfully rise to a garden of matchless beauty, a place of light and peace. -Evelyn Phillips
Tim (Sewer) Mahns Relation to Deceased: Family Friend To the Vorrasi Family, I’d like to share some of my favorite memories of Ma (aka: Soda) Vorrasi. Knowing Fred now for over 45 years way back when we were kids everyone had nicknames, mine was Sewer, my brother’s was Pig. Well Ma Vorrasi had a nickname too. Fred reffered to her as Minnesota, as it turned out Minnesota was to long for us 8-10 year olds to say so it was shortened to Soda and it has stuck to this day. At Easter time Ma would always make Easter bread which wasn’t to be eaten until Easter. Well Fred would always make a few pieces dissappear and we’d eat it in the basement unbeknown to his mother or so we thought. Well she must have had them counted because we always got caught but I think she really didn’t cared. Another Easter story, back when we all in grammer school at Sacred Heart Ma would ask us very seriously had we done our “Easter Duty”? Which meant had we gone to confession. Being good catholic boys we always said that we had or we were going too. I know that she knew we were all lieing….. Well I think she must have prayed extra hard hoping that the Lord would forgive us and that we’d grow up to be responsible adults. Well I have to say we all did and I’m sure that Ma’s extra prayers surely helped. May she rest in peace.

Terry J Terricola Relation to Deceased: Cousin My condolences to the Vorrasi family. My best memories as a teen was my summers staying with Fedora and Fred. She took good care of us and made Fred take good care of me. She sent us to church every Sunday, we never made it there but we went. She will always be remembered and my thoughts are with you.

Mary Pioli Relation to Deceased: “old” friend Dear John, AnneMarie, Rtia and Fred, Please accept my deepst sympathy in the loss of your mom. She was a woman worthy of admiration with her strength of spirit and faith. I was lalways in awe of her efficency, homeaking skills and deep faith. She told it like it was and I loved her. She has a special place in my heart and I am glad that she is at rest in with her heavenly family. We were all better for having her in our lives. Much love to all of you, Mary
Jacqueline H Grob Relation to Deceased: friend Fedora was one of the most loving, thoughtful, caring people I have ever met. She went out of her way to make my husband and me part of her family. We shall never forget her great kindnesses towards us when we lived in Rochester.
