Antonio Fonte says
Quando una persona ci lascia, quando non è più qui e non possiamo più toccarla, o sentire la sua voce… sembra scomparsa per sempre. Ma un affetto sincero non morirà mai. Il ricordo delle persone che ci sono state care vivrà per sempre nei nostri cuori: più forte di qualsiasi abbraccio, più importante di qualsiasi parola.

Jimmy Roiniotis says
Mom, although you just passed away it seems like forever since I’ve seen you. I miss you so much. I miss sitting down and talking with you. I miss listening to you making fun of Dad. I even miss taking care of you when you were sick. It was never a chore, it was an honor. For everything you’ve done for me in my life it was nothing for me to do that for you. I know that you are laughing, singing, and carrying on with Uncle Andy, Irene and everyone else that is up there with you. Don’t worry about Dad, your boys will keep a close eye on him, especially you baby boy. I love you so much Mom.
MaryAnn Roiniotis says
Mom, I don�۪t want you to be gone. Typing that just makes me choke back the tears. So I tell myself, ���She is only gone if you let her be gone.� I�۪ve been in your house many times since Monday, and you are there. I watch little league games and you are there. I put a dry towel over the clean dishes in the sink, and you are there. I have to say goodbye, but all your friends and relatives who have made this journey before you are saying, ���Hello, Marion! Welcome home!�
You are the best mother-in-law a girl could have. I always felt I could talk to you, bring you any problem and you would make me feel better. I will miss that so much.
I�۪ve said more than once this week what a wonderful example you are to follow as a mother and what a wonderful example of a strong marriage you and Dad have given the rest of us. These examples will serve as the words you cannot speak to me when I need your advice in the future. I�۪ve said many times this week, �What would Mom want?� and the answer becomes clear.
I have so many wonderful memories of spending time with you and the talks we had at your kitchen table (that we never did replace). I enjoyed the many dinners we shared at your house. The movies we watched and popcorn we ate when Jimmy and I were dating. The car rides to visit Greg and Tracey. Going to 4:00 mass and having dinner afterwards.
When you first became sick, we prayed for a miracle. Every night, Tommy, Little Jimmy, Jimmy and I would pray for a miracle to make Grandma better. And God granted one for a little while. When the tumor returned, we prayed for your strength and comfort to bear this burden. This you did amazingly. I never heard you complain.
You are not here with me physically, but you are a part of me and I am so grateful for that. I will miss you, I love you, and one day, we will meet again.
Love always, MaryAnn

Mamma; nessuna parola può descrivere un bene più bello. Ci guida e ci protegge fin dalla nascita, l'angelo della casa, il rifugio di ogni bambino. Vorremmo che restasse con noi per sempre, ma sappiamo che questo non è possibile. Ma abbiamo la certezza che continua a proteggerci come un angelo dal cielo. Anche noi ci uniamo al dolore della famiglia Roiniotis. Giuseppe Macrì e Silvia Fonte

Mom; no words can describe something nicer. Guides us and protects us from birth, the Angel of the House, the refuge of every child. We would like to stay with us forever, but we know that this is not possible. But we are sure that it continues to protect us like an Angel from heaven. We too join with the pain of the family Roiniotis. Giuseppe Macrì and Silvia Source
