My thoughts and prayers are with Carmella’s children and grandchildren. I will always cherish the many memories growing up on Arch Street with Carmella and Charlie, we had so much fun together. They were wonderful cousins to me. I also will remember the many telephone conversations we had throughout the years. Her family meant the world to her. Carmella – thank you for the many wonderful memories and may you Rest In Peace.

Your Mom came to the rescue of bringing Rosalie and the shoe home..:) Don’t, remember what scolding Billy received..She never got into gossiping. And mostly kept to herself… One of the gems that came through my life., Hope God will help you and give you strength at this difficult time…..your old neighbor Gladys…
