I will miss your sage advice, spunky confidence, and tender hugs and kisses. You always encouraged me growing up and told me how proud you were of me. You always answered my phone calls and were quick to tell me about who you beat at bowling or the favorite thing you ate recently (last we chatted, you raved about the steak fajitas!) Your love and kindness will always be remembered. I love you very much. Rest in peace, Grandma.
Our condolences to the entire family.

Lea was a big sister to me. During my teenage years she took me everywhere with her. She taught me how to wash my feet in the bathroom sink. For my 13th birthday she took me to my first restaurant. I will miss talking to her several times a month. She was my source of Lombardo family history. She was a great cook and shared recipes with me. I know we all will miss her. Her family was her joy. She loved you all very much.
She was a great Mother In Law, so easy to talk too. She cared about everything that I was involved with. She accepted me with open arms into her family. She listened to my thoughts and concerns and was a great fan of mine. She remembered to send me a Birthday wish for the past 48 years, never missing a single time. She was a great example of a good mother and faithful person. I will miss her dearly.
I Love you Mom, rest in Peace.
Mrs. Merwin was great to all us kids growing up on Sweet Birch La. Jerry and all Merwin kids – so sorry to hear of your mom’s passing…such fond memories.
