"I extend my sympathies to the DePersia family. So sorry to hear about the passing of your Mother, Mother in Law and Grandmother. My heart goes out to all of you. Wishing you Peace, Light and Love, Aida Quiles"
"The first time I met Mrs. DePersia was the night Bruce Seldon fought for the heavyweight title. I don?t remember the circumstances that landed me at the DePersia Homestead that night but I was there. I was a young lawyer and Rocco and Robert were legal legends. I remember the moment we saw Rocco?s visage grace national television looking at Mrs. DePersia and she was the picture of pride. Some 25 years later my wife and I were at Robert?s house for the kids graduation and I saw my wife engaged in a deep conversation. Turns out, my wife and Mrs. DePersia are both Croatian. They bonded. Later my wife described her as a feisty, warm and prideful woman. Mrs. DePersia was a true American Matriarch. "
"Russell and family , I'm very sorry to hear about the loss of your mother . My deepest condolences to you and your entire family ! Tom Tomei II"
