Happy 93rd birthday in heaven Mommy! I know you're in heaven; you've given me so many signs. But it does not change the fact that you're not here on Earth with me, Rita & the rest of the family. You know you would be getting some squeezes and some kisses from me today on your special day. I didn't expect to cry today but I still do. Please keep sending me those beautiful signs. I love and miss you so much. Sometimes I still can't believe you're gone. But I know you are around us -- that is for sure. Thank you for that. Love you with all my heart Mommy, love forever until we meet again, your baby, Donna

Happy Birthday, Mommy! Time has not diminished how much I miss you and love you. Life is not the same without you. Frisky lives like a king as I'm sure know. I would not have it any other way. Please keep sending those rainbows in the sky and every where else. Love you & miss always, Donna

Happy 88th Birthday, Mommy! 
I thought of you several times today especially while taking care of your beloved cat, Frisky. 
I thank you for all the lessons you have taught me, both verbal and nonverbal. You have made me the strong woman I am today.
Thank you for your patience with me because I always pushed the limits. I did not mean to, but I was lost a lot and still am, sometimes.
I know we will see each other again but not too soon. I have things I want to complete.
I Love you with all my heart,
your baby daughter, Donna

What can I say? Not a day goes by without me thinking of my mom. She taught me everything I know--except how to live without her. I miss calling her five times a day just to hear her voice or to get a recipe from her. We would call each other just to share a favorite movie that was coming on Lifetime or anything animal related. My mom loved all animals especially her putty cats; they were her babies. I would tell her my animal stories daily and she would share hers. “Little Things Mean a Lot” by Kitty Kallen was my parents’ wedding song. It’s true in life as well. Little things do mean so much – more than people realize. So, I hope this little tribute brings her a big smile in heaven. And I look forward to finding more rainbows, mommy!  All my love always, your baby, Donna

I always had very fond memories of Cousin Rose. She was known to our family as Little Rosie. Her other Cousin Rose Lanza was the older of the two. She was the youngest of her siblings and I always remember her calling me Jo Jo when I was young. We would visit her and her husband Nick every so often. She always adored my Mother Mary Tirico and would always mention her whenever I saw or called her. In our last conversation a few years back I had asked her about our family history regarding the Lanza and Zelfine families. She gave me all the info that I needed to enter in Ancestry.com. She had such a great memory. My father Joseph lost both his parents when he was 6 years old. Cousin Rose's parents took him in to live with them. Uncle Frank and my Dad's mother were brother and sister. Little Rosie was a sweet heart who would come to visit us on 43rd st where we lived. When my father and my mother both passed away, she made sure she would come to their church services. I was so sad to hear of her passing as no one in our family had known about it. I had so hoped to visit her once more in Florida but I had been too late. Reset in Peace dear Cousin. I know that you are with your family in Heaven at last. Love Always Cousin Jo Jo.
