Hi Aunt Marion. I’m sorry for not being there in person and to be with my cousins at this delicate time, but I hope you know that I have always been there in thought and prayer for all of you. Whereas I will certainly miss you, I do have very pleasant memories over a very long period of time that I will treasure forever both in New Jersey and in Florida. All I hope for is that you are at peace and reunited with Uncle Pete and the rest of the Brignola Family and that you will provide the strength necessary to help your family through these difficult times. Our surpise visit in 1998 is packed with memories to last forever. Pray for us as we pray to you. Say hello to my Dad.

Mary, Peter and Family… on behalf of my wife Robin, our sons Paul III, John, Nicholas and myself, we express to you our deepest condolences during this difficult time and regret not being there with you. Please take solace though in knowing that you are forever in our thoughts and that your faith and memories of those wonderful times will see you through. I trust Aunt Marion and Uncle Pete are reunited in heaven with all of the other Briggy’s, playing cards, having crumb cake and listening to Sinatra. Not a moment goes by when I don’t appreciate the time that we all spent together in the late 90’s; those memories I certainly will never forget.

May God bless you Aunt Marion – rest in peace.

We lived so far apart that I missed knowing you well, but I did know you had a great capacity for laughter. You caused it, spread it, shared it and enjoyed it. I will always think of your laugh when I think of you.

Say hi to my mom up there.

Dearest Mary, Dominick, Francesca, Gina and Family,

When you are sorrowful

look again in your heart,

and you shall see in truth

that you are weeping for that

which has been your delight

– Kahlil Gibran

Marion was a delight to all, a gift to be treasured, and the joy she brought you will always outweigh the sorrow of losing her. I am sure she is resting in a place as beautiful as the family she loved.

Dear Mary and Family,

Marion will be truly missed by all. I am grateful that I was blessed with knowing her. She is at peace now and there is no more pain. She fought it with everything she had, I admire her so much for that. My thoughts are with you during this difficult time in your lives.

Dear Mary and Peter,

As you know, we first met your Mom when she applied for the “Receptionist” position at Kimmel Construction Corp., over 20 years ago. She was immediatley hired. Days turned into weeks, weeks turned into months, months turned into years and before we knew it twelve years had passed! Your Mom was our “jack of all trades”. There was nothing she would not or could not do. When I became short tempered, she calmed me down; when I got too busy to eat, she made me tuna fish; when our nephews Adam and Eric were born, she was the first one to babysit. When Jennie admitted that she didn’t know how to cook, Marion patiently explained how to make fresh spaghetti sauce.

Her love for you and for your Dad, Anthony, Dominick, Francesca and Gina was boundless. You are blessed with an amazing family and we know that the memories you have wil keep you strong and safe.

Marion was a tremendous part of our lives and she will be forever in our hearts.

Love,

Jennie and Stan

Mom-Just got back from NJ spending time with the family. It was bittersweet because everytime something was said or seen or remembered, I went to call you and had to realize all over again that you are not here. I hope you are with Daddy. I havent gotten a sign from you and I really need one. I miss you so much I dont know what to do with myself. We spend every minute possible together. Please stay close.

Mom, Mother’s Day is around the corner and its a day that makes me very sad. Even more so than the every day sadness I carry around. You were the most amazing self-less mother anyone could have. Although we didnt see eye to eye on things in my younger years, I see the things you did and said were for my own good. You taught me how to be the kind of mother I am today. I make mistakes but the strength I have comes from you. I miss you so much I cant put it into words…..I love you and miss you with my entire being. Please watch over us all.
