Dear Matarazzo family,
Meeting Nonna was a true pleasure. She was a sweet woman who loved her family more than anything. My thoughts are with you all in this time of sorrow. And for Anthony, I will never forget how excited your Nonna got when she saw you and the sparkle she had in her eye when she looked at you - nothing but sweetness your Nonna had for you <3.
I wish you all the best.
With Love,
Becca
I am very sorry to hear that Mama Elena has gone to Heaven. She was a very sweet woman. She will be missed by all. Love & prayers to Nora, Gina, Uncle Carmine, & Anthony.
With Love,
Crissy

Where do I begin. To my three cousins who I love dearly I have endless memories of my beloved aunt. Your house was my second home I think we were there almost everyday.. I will always cherish all the wonderful times we had at parties, picnics on Sunday bringing pots of gravy instead of barbecuing, and just hanging out and eating all those special things zial Lena made. Every summer she made canned peaches and pears and wonderful biscottis. My beloved uncle always called me little bird now my cousin calls me that. My aunt was my personal seamstress also. Every time I bought an article of clothing I would run there for her to hem them and she never ever said she was too busy and she never said no. She was the very best. She was patient and kind.I will miss talking to her and trying to decipher between the English and Italian when she spoke to me but we always got through and understood what was said. My heart is broken I will cherish all the memories I have forever. you're an angel now and i hope you're watching over all of us.. Love you always and forever. Fly with the angels my Zia Lena.
Gina and family, I am so very sorry for the loss of your beloved mother. May you find strength in the tremendous love she had for all her family. God bless.
