Dear Marianne,
I am so sorry about the loss of your mom. I only read the paper occasionally. Today, Saturday afternoon, I saw her obituary and my heart immediately went out to you and your family. I felt a true loss of someone that had touched my life. Your stories about your mom always entertained me and meant so much more when I got to meet her and get to know her better. I regret that I became aware of your loss too late to pay my respects to your mom and to be there for you, but I would like you to know that I’m thinking of her, of you, your sisters Marcia and Judy, and all in your entire family. Many thoughts and prayers are coming your way.
Dear Marianne, Matt, and family
I have so many wonderful memories of your mom and dad. There was never a dull moment with your mom while we were in our teenage angst! Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers… May your memories comfort you during this difficult time.
Love, Tracey
Dear Mike & Marcia,

Fond memories of your mother since kindergarten. Thoughts and prayers to you and your entire family. Respectfully, The Ripoly Family.
Hi family,
I watched the movie and it was like a rainbow in a thunderstorm for me. I smiled, I laughed and I cried all at the same time. So many of the memories were very clear for me the other favorite daughter at times. I am so sad to not be there with all of you to celebrate Mom’s life and to cherish the memories and love of a woman who loved so well. When I see the pictures of Mom and Dad together it makes me smile because I know they are together again dancing. I’ll bet Dad even has his own teeth now. I love all of you and the times of my life spent with you and Mom and Dad were some of the best memories of my life. My favorite Thanksgiving was in Mom’s dining room when Richie would only eat cold hot dogs and cheerios and Mom said “oh, leave him alone, he’ll be fine.” Thank you for including me in your family.
Love Jackie
