My Mother was a loving hard working woman who I looked up to. Being the youngest of 5 children I always felt loved by my parents and safe. Over the past two years of living with my mother, I had the closeness with my mother that other people could only dream about. There was a reason I was brought back to New York. I feel blessed to have had my mother in my life for 49 years and to have spent the last 7 1/2 years of her life with her. I know now that she is happy and with my father and they will celebrate being together again.

How does a person describe the woman who brought them into the world? Many have tried. I would use the words; devoted, selfless, tireless, hopeful, optimistic, and patient. But the one word that really fits my Mom, that encompasses her entire being and more importantly her Soul, is LOVE. Her perseverance through life’s pain, and trials was an inspiration to me. Whenever I feel down, or sorry for my self, I remember the crosses she had to bear. She carried her burdens with grace and style. She always hoped against hope that people would do the right things. She is now safe and protected in the hands of our Lord. She fought the fight and won. Her spirt will always be with me, and when my time comes to cross the river, I know she will be there to meet me. God bless you Mom. Love , your son Paul

Dear Paul and Erinn, Please accept our deepest condolences. Our thoughts are with you and your families during this difficult time. Sincerely, The Cornell Pathology Gang
This is a special photograph of Mom and Dad reflecting the deep love they had for one another after 60 years of marriage.
When I was flying as a airline pilot for America West in 2002, I was on an overnight trip at LaGuardia Airport. As I did many times, I drove out to spend time with them. Mom asked me to photograph them together. They dressed up as you see them, and we headed out to find a suitable location. Their was a location south of Roosevelt Field, that was filled with flowers and beautiful trees. She told me at the time that while their lives were not always easy, they persevered through the tough times and had a very special, deep bond in Love.
They are together again, with GOD in His Kingdom for Eternity
Dear Paul: Please accept our heartfelt sympathy and prayers for you and all the rest of your family on the death of your mother, Mary Jane.

To Mom with with Love
A few years back I visited with Aunt Jane and we went out and had a nice lunch together and talked about the Di Maggio family. On that occasion it gave me the chance to tell her thank you for always remembering my birthday. I actually made her cry when I thanked her and then I cried. I told her I didn’t want to make her cry but I needed to let her know how much I appreciated her thoughtfulness. Over all the years of mine and my brother Stephens life she always remembered our birthdays with a card.
To our Beloved Mother. May your Soul and spirit enjoy Eternal Joy, Rest, and Happiness in the Body of our Living GOD.
