Tributes
"You were always there for my mom and when she needed you. You were also there for me too. You were a beautiful person inside and out. You were there for every special occasion and I will never forget. The trips when you drove me, my mom and grandma to Philly and Newark university hospital when I was sick. I will always remember you. Love, Tiffany LaBollita Schwartz "

I Love you. from, Sharon"
