I remember being at the house and making fresh tomato sauce... an annual event and so much fun. This is one of the many memories that will bring you joy as you heal, over time, from your loss. So very sorry, Sal.
We send our deepest condolences to the entire DiMatteo family. You are and will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers. May the fond memories of Phyllis help to heal your grieving hearts. The Ruggebergs
Prayers for your family for your loss. We are thinking of you always. It's a blessing to have taken care of your mom and the time you spent with her. God Bless you.
I will always have fond and treasured memories of Phyllis. She was a shining example of what an amazing wife, mother, sibling, grandmother, aunt and caring friend was to those that were fortunate to have her in their lives and to those of us who should strive to be like. I was blessed to be one of those people. May God bless her soul and grant her eternal rest in heaven with her husband, Anthony.
Phyllis always welcomed me and my family to her home with a beautiful smile and food. I will always remember her for her kindness, caring , gentleness, generosity, and unconditional love. I will miss her dearly and always remember her smile.
