Words can not express how saddened I am to hear of your passing. I am grateful to have known you as a mother in law and as a grandmother to my children. You always made me laugh Kathy. I remember you and Fruto always happy and smiling together! You would always bring Dunkin Donuts on Christmas mornings, baskets for the kids on Easter, and laughter whenever you were around. I remember going over to your house in the Bronx and you would always put the movie Spaceballs on for kids. You would always have the Benadryl ready for me when I would visit your house cause you knew I was allergic to your cats. I remember your funny sayings like “ whosie what’s it”. Kathy you will be greatly missed! I know Fruto is happy to be with you again! Rest In Peace Kathy.
To my dear sister in law Cathy that I loved so much and I will greatly miss, you will always be in my heart ! I always loved playing tricks on you!!! May God take care of you and Fruto now you are together again I will miss you forever,!!!!! I love you , your brother in law , Philip

Dear Kathy
It’s so hard to believe you are now gone too. Growing up you were everyone’s Mom. A funny kind woman. The banter and funny times and things said between you and my Father In Law Rocco Alessandro were the best memories we will never forget. Riding your bicycle around the neighborhood you knew everyone and everyone knew you. Grateful our kids got to meet you when you did movies in the park here on Morris Park at Loreto Park. The good ones are never forgotten, and are truly missed. Say hi to my mother in law Andrea and father Anthony for me. May you rest in peace.
Love Tina Alessandro Chris & Family

Nana,
I still can’t believe you’re gone there’s this huge hole in my heart that will never be replaced in my eyes you were larger then life and still are. As long as I can remember you’ve been there for me throughout the good and bad and everything in between some of my greatest memories are with you wither it’s us going out to dinner at the pine tavern or the crab shanty with pop to something as simple as playing on the couch with the army helmet with the back scratcher as a gun. You took me in when nobody else wanted me and for thati will forever be grateful. Im sorry for beinga pain in the ass for all those years but I wouldn’t trade a single second of it you and pop made me into the man I am today and I know you’ll watch over me and I just hope I can make you proud and try to live up to the monumental legacy you left behind. I will always love you with all my heart ❤
I only just found out that you had passed. I cannot believe that you are no longer with us. My heartfelt condolences to your family. Although we lost touch so many years ago, my friend, Edna Kendig and I, never forgot you. You are always among our reminisces and we laugh at the silly things we used to do. You have gained the love and respect of so many people. You’ve had your ups and downs, but there is no better testament to a life well lived than having family and friends who love you and remember you for the kind and compassionate person you are. Never forgotten. Rest In Peace Kathy.
