Russell & Richard W & A Schafer & Young Relation to Deceased: Friend/Family Ma Alloco, I have wonderful memories of how you opened your family to me. I will miss you and I know in my heart you’ll be protecting me from above. Rest peacefully now……… All my love, Russell & Richard Safely Home I am home in Heaven dear ones: Oh, so happy and so bright! There is perfect joy and beauty in this everlasting light. All the pain and grief is over, every restless tossing passed I am now at peace forever, safely home in Heaven at last. Then you must not grieve so sorely, for I love you dearly still; try to look beyond earth shadows, Pray to trust our Father’s will There is work still waiting for you, so you must not idly stand: do it now, while life remaineth you shall rest in Jesus’ land When that work is all completed, He will gently call you Home; oh the rapture of that meeting, oh the joy to see you come!
Marvin E Brown Relation to Deceased: Son inlaw the best mother inlaw a person could ever hope to have she treated me as her own son. 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
Kitti Sisley Relation to Deceased: Friend Ma, I just found out yesterday. I have been crying ever since. You are one of the greatest women to ever walk this earth. You loved and cared for me when I was at my worst. You fed me when I was starving.You never treated me any different when you knew I was doing terrible things. You loved me unconditionally. I love you and will forever miss you. I think no matter where you stray, That I shall go with you a way. Though you may wander sweeter lands, You will not forget my hands, Nor yet the way I held my head Nor the tremulous things I said. You will still see me, small and white And smiling, in the secret night, And feel my arms about you when The day comes fluttering back again. I think, no matter where you be, You’ll hold me in your memory And keep my image there without me, By telling later loves about me. Dorothy Parker
Jim Sullivan Relation to Deceased: Friend Roger and family, She was “Ma” to many. But yet so few possess the comprehensive personal characteristics of this noble women. I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Ma’s love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories. We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared her love. My sympathies and prayers go out to you and your families. As we look back over time We find ourselves wondering ….. Did we remember to thank you enough For all you have done for us? For all the times you were by our sides To help and support us ….. To celebrate our successes To understand our problems And accept our defeats? Or for teaching us by your example, The value of hard work, good judgement, Courage and integrity? We wonder if we ever thanked you For the sacrifices you made. To let us have the very best? And for the simple things Like laughter, smiles and times we shared? If we have forgotten to show our Gratitude enough for all the things you did, We’re thanking you now. And we are hoping you knew all along, How much you meant to us.

Cindy Brown Relation to Deceased: Friend / Family The video was wonderful… and I’m so glad I got to see all the great pics! I have so many great memories, but to name a few: Shopping for Deb’s wedding to Marv and her trying to go up the down escalator, swimming at Pike, all her great cooking (Sunday’s were a banquet), and just her chats and advice! She loved her family more than anything else and she was loved by all. I admired her so much! Hugs… Cindy The celebration of life, shared in the beginning, and again, in the end. Yet we forget to celebrate it, in every moment we live. Time, days, years, go on, but are we alive? Alive and do not know it, sleeping in the world and dead to the life we are to live. To celebrate all life, the sparrow who sang in the morning, and died in the night, why do we not celebrate its life? To know thyself is to know you are alive – to give, to love, to seek truth, beauty, and suffer pain. In life as it is meant to be, pain is forgotten, and strength is all that’s left to be gained in the moment by moment celebration of life. By Deborah Peabody
Chris Brown Partanna Relation to Deceased: she made me feel like family “Ma Alloco” is what we called her. She came into our lives and brought a love, laugh and patience that was never ending. The Bar 11 was my first memorie, cooking toast on a cookie sheet so there was enough to go around. Driving as many kids as would fit into the station wagon to pike on a hot summer day to cool off and just have “FUN”. Her ham gravy at the house in Greece. It always amazed me how the door never stopped opening and the kids of all ages came and went. Working that summer at the Hotel in Canandaigua and spending every dime at Roseland with Dawn, Roger and Corkie. The look on her face when we walked in with that huge stuffed animal for Marvin, I think it was about a million game coupons. I am sad to see her go, but I know in my heart she is in the comfort of all heavens glory and the pain and discomfort her body held is lifted. Those we love remain with us for love itself lives on, and cherished memories never fade because a loved one’s gone. Those we love can never be more than a thought apart, far as long as there is memory, they’ll live on in the heart.
Chris (Brown) Partanna Miss you and love you the same way I always did. You were one of my greatest blessings in life and I hope we meet again some day.

Carol Cerasuolo Relation to Deceased: Tax Preparer Helen was one of my favorite clients. I always looked forward to going to her house to prepare her taxes. She’d make me coffee and we’d visit for a while. I was very sorry to read that she had passed. My condolences to her family.
Bryan and Evie Lighthouse Relation to Deceased: Friend Frank and Dick, What wonderful memories you have with these pictures! Your mom was an angel to all of you as we can see in the photos. We know she will be sadly missed by you all. She is with the other angels upstairs smiling down on all of you.
