I can never forget the joy and comfort and a multitude of happy memories from time spent with Tina and her beautiful family. Mrs. Pezzulo was at the very heart of the home and many times was a cherished maternal figure for me. Her love of family was obvious and shone through every thought, word and action. Such a beautiful woman, inside and out. Rest in peace, Mrs. Pezzulo, and God bless your entire family.
