I am so very sorry for your loss….She was truly a good person and loved by everyone that met her…May she fly high with the Angels now…sending love…
My Godmother (Aunt Marie) was a wonderful and beautiful woman. Aunt Marie cherished being my Godmother, I was the Son that she never had. Aunt Marie would do and give anything for me. Anytime that Aunt Marie would buy or do something for she would always say \”Don\’t tell your Mother\”, then Aunt Marie would show that big beautiful smile of hers. It meant so much to Aunt Marie that I found love, gotten married and had children of my own. Aunt Marie was so fond of my Wife Cindy and our children Salvatore and Marisa. Aunt Marie had spent some time with us one summer and we took her shopping at the outlets, something she always loved doing. Aunt Marie could spend hours shopping. I was taking my family to Disney for the first time that summer. Aunt Marie bought all of us Disney shirts. Aunt Marie told us that we could not go to Disney without wearing Disney shirts and it would cost us a fortune if we bought shirts while in Disney. The love that she had for my Mother Marianne was immeasurable and went beyond that of sisterly love. It was a rare and sacred relationship between first cousins. Aunt Marie never had a bad word to say about anyone. Aunt Marie loved and adored her family, she put her family before herself or anyone else. Aunt Marie demonstrated unconditional love every moment of her life. I never knew that Aunt Marie\’s birth name was Josephine until my High School Graduation where she handed me a gift in the form of a check, which had her full birth name written on it. Aunt Maire\’s guidance and mentor-ship played a huge role in the man that I am today, that I will be forever thankful. I love you Aunt Marie and I will always keep you living in my heart. Rest In Peace my beautiful Godmother. May God Bless You.
God took away a beautiful person from us to become an angel to God to watch over us. We will all miss you dearly. Rest in peace, Sister Marie. Love you always, Brother Sammy and Sister Marianne
Forever in our hearts.
So Sorry for the passing of my Aunt Marie. She was a gentle and caring person and always so generous. She was such a big part of our lives growing up, many a happy memory we have of the many summer vacations she spent with us and the many happy family occasions we shared with her. She will be missed so much by all who knew her.
