I will always miss you grandma. I love you!!!
Aunt Mary;
I’m sure the Lord will Bless & welcome you. As will all the Bellante and Pace’s. May you rest in peace.
I met grandma as a stranger intruding into her incredibly solidified family unit as I had just started dating her teenage grandson. Grandma was a vibrant, sarcastic, gorgeous women with so much life to share. Luckily for me, she accepted me with open arms and I fell in love with her immediately. We shared amazing stories over the years that I hold dear. I wish more than anything to be able to be at her service but I’ve moved out of state and can’t be there. I’m so happy that I was able to pop in a couple of years ago to say hi and give her the hugs she so deserved. My heart and love is with DaMama and DaPapa and all who are grieving. Rest In Peace, Grandma—I’ve never stopped loving you
Heaven welcomes a new angel, I ll miss you Mommy
Albert, Bridget and Tony
