Words cannot describe how much I am going to miss you Auntie and how heartbreaking this is. We had such fun together. Trips to Water's Edge and Munster High's craft shows every year. Wine after a hard day at work and working out every morning!! Watching tv shows together and then after I moved out, the calls about those tv shows. How you would say watch the damn show now because we need to talk about it....lol. You were always like another Mom to me. I love you Auntie!!!!

Jenn, like her, you are always there for everyone, you learned from the best. You will always have your mom in your heart, and she will always be looking over you. Watch for the signs.

Arlene was my best friend in high school and several years beyond. We double dated for our prom. She was a bridesmaid at my wedding. We shared so many experiences, both good and bad! I last saw her when her daughters were young and they came to my house to visit. We lost touch with each other a little after. I regret that. My sincere condolences to her family. -Kay Colella (Kathy Molenda)
