  1. So sorry for your loss, Jimmy. No matter how long we've had them, it's always hard to lose your mom!

  2. A truly beautiful woman who’s smile always lit up a room and truly someone who always made people feel welcomed and loved…..I’m so grateful to have been given the opportunity to have known her, if even it was too short a time… she will be missed greatly but I’m happy to have been a part of such wonderful memories… my sincere condolences to her sons and family at this very difficult time….love always, Liz

  3. Hi Mom:

    For over 3 decades you were truly my American Mom. We shared hundreds of wonderful moments and memories together. From Nicky's birth, then Anthony's and Jamie's to ALL their milestones. You and Dad never missed one!

    And together, we also shared some devastated losses with Dad's passing, and then Nicky's!

    But through it all, we did it together.

    I would like to thank you for always being there for Jimmy, the kids and I.

    Now, I know that you will still keep on eye on us from wherever you are!

    Until we see each other again!

    Love you,

    Your daughter Edna

  4. Sincere sympathy during this difficult time…..She is safe in the arms of God now….forever and ever

    We love you always, Jimmy Spadola and Walter King

  5. Our deepest condolences to you and your family during this time.

    Rick, I will always remember your mom talking with us in the kitchen. It was easy to see where much of your unique view of the world came-there is much of her in you. I always loved seeing her and talking with her before we would head out.

    Tom & Mary
