Thank you Joann. Shealways said that the years she was raising us were so difficult yet so happy. She loved your dads visits each year. I still picture her in the kitchen with you mom preparing dinner for the crew.

Thank you for your kind words.she was a beautiful lady.

There are so many wonderful memories of my mom that I dont know where to begin. She always put us first. Mom will be missed every second of every minute of everyday. My favorite time of day was when we drank our afternoon coffee together - whether it was in our living room or in the parking lot of McDonalds I a busy day. We would talk and she would share the old family stories with me. We never got tired of talking to each other. I take comfort in knowing that she went right into the arms of Our Lady.

To the family, my deepest sympathies, sorry for the loss of your dear loved one. May the peace God gives sustain your family during this difficult time. Seeing the promises in God's Word the Bible will help you to gain strength and fortify your hearts, granting you comfort.

I remember as a child, playing with Carmel in Aunt Maria's room while she was away. It intrigued us with it's closet full of grown up, stylish clothes. We'd play office for awhile, then try on her cool outfits although we were probably 7 or 8 years old. We would get scolded when she found her room disturbed, but we knew she would forgive and forget very quickly. Staying with her in her apartment and later at her home was exciting and I do remember her excellent cooking. As time went on, life was not easy for her. Yet her love of family and devotion to God moved her forward. She was kind. She was caring. She was totally devoted to her family and her faith. She was a truly unselfish person who gave herself completely to those she loved. She will be missed by all. Rest in peace. Joann Conza Azzarelli

Aunt Maria always had her priorities in order: Love of God; Love of Family; and Love of the Roman Catholic faith. My wife, Susan, and I are so pleased that Janine insisted on our visit with them this past fall where once again we had the great chance to share good times, old stories, great food, and above all Love together. I am proud to have called her my aunt and pleased to have shared our Conza heritage together. No doubt she is being reunited with all of her family in heaven especially grandma, grandpa, & my dad, too! With great affection & love always to my cousins and their loving mom-Peace! & RIP finally, Maria! Love always! Tony Conza, Jr. St. Petersburg, Florida
