Dear Alessia, Anthony, and the whole family,
We extend our most sincere condolences on the passing of your beautiful Nonna. May she rest in peace and forever be carried in your memory and heart. A true legacy lived by all.
Your friends,

Thoughts and prayers are with the Laratta family; Angela, Frank, Alessia and John. My condolences go out to you and your family during this saddening and difficult time of the loss of your cherished and loving mother and grandmother. Losing a loved one during the holidays is such an immeasurably uneasy experience especially in the human race as I lost my grandfather from my mother’s side. He died two days before Christmas and he suffered a massive stroke for 15 months. May God comfort you during these difficult days ahead. Thoughts, prayers, and blessings, Stefan Tomasi (from St. Peter’s Church – Woodbridge).
My deepest condolences 🙏
To my dearest Zizi. I will miss you more than mere words can express. You were like a second mother to me.
As far as I can remember, you were full of kind words, sound advice and a generosity that had no bounds.
As a child I recall passing by your house everyday after school. You insisted on feeding me. When I went home, my mom would give me heck for not being hungry. How could I be? Zia Lisa satiated me with delicious food and so much love.
Cara zia Lisa resterai per sempre nel mio cuore. La tua assenza lascierà un grande vuoto in me.
E per sempre ti ricorderò con tanto affetto.
Tua nipote,
Annetta
We will forever remember our beloved Elisa with profound love and affection. We always cherished her presence on holidays and special occasions. We admired her love for coca cola and chips…not to mention her amazing complexion. She loved us unconditionally and showered us with endless hugs and kisses. Nonna Lisa was the best and we will miss her beyond words. May she rest in peace 🕊️. All our love.. John, Sera, Antonio and Johnny
