Mom was honored with a memorial mass at St. John Vianney Church in Colonia with family and friends. We caravanned to St. Gertrude's Cemetery for a beautiful and solemn internment. Mom would have been so pleased. Jay, Michael and I want to thank all our families from both Mom and Dad's side who rejoiced with us for a life well-lived. We want to also thank so many of our neighbors and friends from Colonia who came to bless us. After leaving Mom with Dad and Grandpa and Grandma Cullinane, we all proceeded to the VFW hall and enjoyed lots of food, conversation, stories, memories and a great tribute to our Mom. Thank you all again. We are most blessed.
I will continue to post more things over time: her recipes, more albums, etc. She did a great job cataloging their young life, their years as parents and grandparents. We are grateful. Thank you to Michael for taking care of all the Celebration of Life details. Thank you Donna for your touch at the VFW. Mom would have love this party.

Jay, Michael and I want to express our heartfelt thanks to everyone who attended to honor her. It was super special to us. We had a special surprise from our cousins Dick and Besty. Special thank you to Connie, Annette and Arlene for setting up the social hall for a great time of fellowship. On Saturday, my friend Barbara and I will begin the journey to bring Mom to Jersey to be with Dad.
To our Jersey friends and family, Mike and I will set the date next week for her Celebration of Life in New Jersey. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Mom was a special lady. Karen, Jay and Michael Mom wore a lot of polka dot blouses and dresses. If you are coming to her memorial Mass tomorrow and want to wear polka dots, that would be fun. In lieu of flowers, many have asked if they can give something towards her favorite charities. She was a great giver, but one of her most favorite charities was the Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida. If you do not have Second Harvest in your local area, please consider giving to your local food bank in her name.
