Condolence: So sad to hear the news of my godmother's passing. Rae and Terri, my deepest condolences to you and your family.

I have so many fond memories from my childhood; from coming down to your house every week to spend the afternoon, to modeling in the fashion shows, to her and my mother stopping by to see me during their Saturday outings when I worked at Monmouth Mall, to going with my mother occasionally to Sunday afternoon cappuccino at her house, to shopping at Enrico's when I once needed a fabulous outfit to attend a special event. I tried on an outfit that we put together and when she told me I looked "she she" I knew I was good to go. When I needed to know how to make Escargot for a dinner party I was catering I knew just who to call. I spent the afternoon at her house as she meticulously explained every detail of the process and gave me everything I needed to prepare and serve them. Of course they were a huge success and I owed it all to her.

She made every Christmas, birthday and Easter so special for me growing up. When she traveled the world she always brought me back something special from a far away place. I still have all of the special things she gave me over the years and I will treasure them always. She was the best godmother anyone could ever have and she will forever have a place in my heart.

Condolence: Rae,Terry and family, my heartfelt and deepest condolences for your loss. What to say? So many happy memories from my childhood to now. Your mom and mine (Rina) were a force of one fashion statement. Always dressing to the nines with utter class and style. They were very talented ladies creating beautiful clothes for themselves and their daughters. And not to forget those delicious crème puffs she would make. No one made them better. Your mom will be missed. Rest in peace.

Condolence: So many childhood weekend memories of spending time with Anna (my mother Rina's lifetime friend) and their days of gallivanting to fabric stores and shopping sprees and the endless chatter of French! I remember all of the fashion shows where our Moms and their daughters modeled the exceptional outfits they created. Thanks Anna for the many fun and funny times! You will be missed!!
My deepest condolences to Rae, Terri and their families.
