Lee and Dee Callahan Relation to Deceased: Our daughter’s-in-law grandmother Grandma, as we called her, was a beautiful person inside and out. Her sweet smile and twinkling eyes always said, “I love you” and she knew the feeling was mutual. We will always remember her and smile, and I will always think of her when I see an Italian greeting card!!! 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
Diane & Charlie Garbowski Relation to Deceased: In-laws Charlie and I will always remember Mrs. DiGioia’s generosity of spirit when we first met… taking my arm and instantly drawing us in as she spoke of her affection for our son, David, who had recently become engaged to Rosemary. How grateful Rose and Dave were that she was able to share their wedding day with them… beaming with a genuine joy I’m sure she’d felt in equal measure when Lucy and Greg were married. On any occasion we spent in her company, she always spoke of her daughter and granddaughters with love… clearly pleased and proud of the choices they’d made in careers and partners, and taking delight in watching her family grow as she welcomed Emily and Rachel. Those closer to her than we will recount in detail, their many memories of time spent together… her talents, thoughtful favors and sense of humor. We will simply never forget a very sweet lady, with a lovely smile and a gift for making folks feel at home… one she passed along and we all appreciate in Erma, Lucy and Rosemary as well.
