My brother sent me the Register article of Regina's passing. She will always be Mrs. Annunziata to me. I am a former neighbor and babysitter to the family. She was a wonderful person and I will always have fond memories of her, Frank and the children. I know what it is to experience loss of family members. I lost my husband a three years ago and am fortunate to still have two wonderful sons and a brand new grand-baby. My condolences to the family.

Dearest Mr. Annunziata, Frank, Gina, Annie and Martha,

It is with great sadness that I write to you on the passing of your very wonderful wife and mom. I have had the pleasure of knowing her and all of you for the majority of my life: 50 years. I have always admired Mrs. Annunziata's many fine qualities: she was a wonderful and loving wife and mom, was a gracious and beautiful hostess, she cooked delicious meals with ease, was always very kind to name a few. And she was a loyal friend to my mom. I will miss her and cherish all the beautiful memories I have of her and us together in my heart and mind forever. She will live on in my heart.

I would like to share with you a quote that has given me comfort.

"Grief never ends...But it changes.
It's a passage, not a place to stay.
Grief is not a sign of weakness, nor a lack of faith...
It is the price of love."
~ Author Unknown ~

With special love and prayers to you and all of her loved ones, Maryjane, Paul and Connor Markey

I was saddened to hear from Annie and learn of the passing of her Mother. Having lost my own Mother, 94, earlier this Spring; I know the huge void Annie, her Father, and family will feel. We met on various occasions from Naples to NYC and I think it's why I adore Annie so much because she had a wonderful Mother. My thoughts, prayers, and love to the entire Annunziata family.
