Our deepest condolences to the entire Pepe family on the loss of your matriarch Assunta. Her spirit lives on in your fond memories.
My condolences go out to family and friends. I only knew Susan for a short while, but enjoyed our many adventures together. Through Home Instead Senior Care, I was one of Susan's care providers. Wether it was going to Angelo's for cappuccino or a walk in the park, or even to mini golf where Susan got a hole in one, Susan always had a smile on her face. I will treasure the moments we had together. Rest in Peace Susan. You will be forever in my heart. Lorri xo
