My condolences to Mrs. DiFabio's family. Pierina was a wonderful woman with a very warm and caring nature and a truly delightful sense of humor. I will miss our lunches together and hearing her say that she only wanted to "help the people." A very kind and generous woman, indeed.

To the family of Pierina, please accept my deepest sympathy. I am a parishioner at St. Brigid & knew Pierina. Her husband and my father (Michael Venditti) knew each other for many years. I remember seeing her cleaning the sanctuary steps on her hands & knees. And, marvel at her crocheted altar linens. Please know she will be in my thoughts and prayers.
