Mike, Jim, Barb, Tony and families,
Please accept our deepest sympathies in the loss of your mother. She was one of my favorite aunts. I thought about her frequently and she was in my daily prayers. I am glad you had her with you for such a long time. It must have been comforting for all of you because my memories of her are of a very caring person who took great pride in her family.
I have fond memories of all of the Cilleti's, especially Lenny because he was my age. Visiting with you in Washington was especially nice, I always looked forward to the times I spent with all of you. It broke my heart when you moved to Colorado but I understand the reason why. It's just to bad we didn't have more time together but Families and jobs and life don't allow us to do the things that slip by and can never be brought back.
My happy thoughts are that your mom is having such a wonderful time meeting with your Dad and Lenny and all of her other relatives in heaven. I can just see the reunion now with her mom and dad and sisters and brothers. It will be like being at Grandma Caputos during the holidays...Wow!
It is not easy to lose such a loved one, especially "Mom". My thoughts are that all of you will pull together and support each other which will not make up for the loss but will allow all of you to bear it together.
With all of our sympathy,
Love,
Bernie and Linda Libertore
