    Mom has been a mother and father figure to me for many years. She is a kind hearted person with a big heart. We love you very much and will miss you dearly. We count our blessings to have had you in our lives for as long as we did. We will never forget you. You will be in our hearts forever. Rest in Peace.

      She was a mother to us all… for years I would sit with her during daily morning mass as if she were my own family (and in a special way she was.) God was holding a special place for her and she is now in His loving hands, may she rest in peace. ❤️

    May she rest in peace. Such a special lady with a beautiful smile. Thinking of you Dominick and the Zingone family. Sending many prayers and much love.

    I never addressed her by her first name . Never. It was always mom. She deserved that respect because she treated me and loved me like a mom would. Like a mom should. Like her own son. She was kind, loving , caring , giving, and above all nurturing. Never once in our 33 years of marriage did she inject herself in a disagreement Mary and I would have . She would just give sound advice. And that’s what I loved about her most. Losing her , even though she lived to be 91, was a heartfelt reminder of losing Mary again. Mary’s passing was a tragedy and not a moment goes by in my life that I don’t miss her. It’s a broken heart that will never mend. But her mother’s life was a celebration. A celebration of a life well lived. They are together again. Being the mother she once was. Being the wife she once was . Being the daughter in law she once was. Forever and ever.

    With all my love,
    Charlie

    Ah Mrs Zingone, a Holy Trinity mom, always with a watchful eye. After I moved from NYC, on my visits home the store was always my first stop. To say hi to everyone and see Mary. Mrs Zingone always greeted me with a wonderful smile and told me Mary’s not here lol but would give her the message. Mary always got the message…man I will miss them both. RIP Mary’s Mom.
