Dearest Mom: I was so lucky to have you as my Mother. You were so smart, lovely, beautiful, and you were my best friend. You set an example for me on what a woman should be. You were generous, understanding, kind, sweet, funny, a great cook, and a great traveling companion on trips you and I made or the whole family made. You were comforting, encouraging, cleanest housekeeper ever, the love of Daddy's life, and the love of my life and Tom's life--we are lost without your beautiful face, hazel eyes, and that great smile. I know you are in Heaven--your were such a good woman and devout Catholic. Dear God and Blessed Mother and all of the Saints, please smother my Mother (and my Father Joseph 'Babe' Concolino) with hugs and kisses forever. Love from your adoring daughter Rose Marie--better known by you and Dad and our family as "Ro," and from your loving and adoring son, Tom.
