I knew your mom from NM when I visited my mom. She definitely is in Heaven watching all of us she came into contact. You were blessed. Please continue her legacy. JERRY VENTRESCA
I recently came across the obit I printed shortly after March 12 when NM opened following the year-long quarantine. I entered that day to see my mom, joyfully, but equally saddened to hear of your mom’s passing. I loved seeing her when I visited my mom. She surely is in Heaven guiding so many she reached out to here on Earth. Please continue her legacy, JERRY VENTRESCA
Renee, Keely and Joseph, I am saddened to hear of your beautiful Mother’s passing as she held a special place in my heart. I was looking forward to chatting with her on her birthday but God had other plans. May God continue to bless you and yours.

Dearest Renee and Family,
May God watch over all of you during this very tender time in your lives. Know that my husband and I are with you in spirit and send our sincerest sympathy and prayers.
Irene was always one of my Favorite Cousins. She Always had a Smile and a Sunny Disposition no matter what Trials and Tribulations she was going through.
We used to Horse around and Wrestle when we visited the Keller house in Jeffersonville.
She will be Missed. God Bless!

Dear Renee, Keely and Joseph:
I am very sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing, but am confident she is in God’s loving presence. I visited your mom at the Manor when my dad was there before he passed. I pray that your fond memories will be of solace to you.
