“A mother holds her children’s hands for a while, their hearts forever.”
Thinking of you Tina & your family and wishing you hope in the midst of sorrow, comfort in the midst of pain.
Momma C was an amazing woman who always had a smile, a hug and words of wisdom. (And of course a great big plate of linguini and clams whenever we asked).
Momma C can rest now Tina and join my Mom in watching over us.

Dear Cozzolino family,
Your Mother’s spirit lives on through wonderful stories. Stories that touch the heart , even outside the realm of your family. Florence’s spunk and vitality encourages many others to love life with the Love and compassion her spirit had. i never met her, but feel I know her through stories my sister, Merel relates to me. The Love in which the stories are told touch my heart. All my Love, all the way from Washington State. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Love, Carol De Mott
Thank you so much. Merel is such a blessing to our family. Mom was a special person and we can only hope to follow her example of unconditional love and zest for life. She loved everyone and helped us all with life’s challenges. She is now at home in Heaven with her husband Stephen and son Gregory.
