How do you say goodbye to an angel? You give her wings and watch her soar…��

The world lost someone truly special, but heaven just got a whole lot better. Love you Nanny��

To My Extended Family (Jim and Phyllis & family), All my love, joy, and tears, to Marybeth, Maureen, Phyllis-Mary, Mark, Matthew and James !!! Your Mom was an inspiration and a blessing to me for over 50 years. She welcomed me with love and opened arms into her house and family all those years ago. I used to sit on that stoop (on Springfield Blvd.), with Bill (holding Phyllis-Mary’s hands in order to keep her from jumping up or off the stoop). Sheena would sit there next to her and me ! I can never, never forget !!!!!!!! I love you, my Brodie family !!! Tears now ! have to go ! Love always, Ciro

My oldest and Dearest Friend

This world has lost a precious angel! While 91 years young, any of you who knew her remembers that she had the physical and mental capacity of a 60 year old scholar, with a contagious sense of humor and love of people. More importantly, she was a women of incredible faith and wisdom, a woman of substance who taught everyone who had the honor of knowing her what love was. Having her in your life was a true gift, and her legacy of a lifetime of hundreds of friends pays tribute to this.She personified Love, true unconditional Love. Despite a life of many tragedies, her family, friends and faith were what she lived for, and she used laughter in the best possible way to get through many difficult times and help those around her do the same. It was impossible to be in a room with her or talk to her on the phone and not be constantly laughing! She would not allow lifeΓÇÖs numerous challenges keep her from rising up, a woman of incredible inner strength and conviction, always believing that God, Mother Mary and Family were all that were important in life, and her wisdom was remarkable. To me, she was my second mother and beloved Aunt, and a true saint.She was an extraordinary woman, chosen by God for a higher purpose than most of us can imagine, and I was blessed to have her in my life. My entire family and I will miss her so very much, but she has made an indelible mark on us, and she will never be forgotten.
