To the family of Genny, We are saddened by the tragic loss of such a wonderful lady. Your mom took care of our father and husband at West Hills Health and Rehab. Genny was a hard worker and great to talk to you. She was from the same town in Italy that our family was from. We miss her already and are very grateful for having known her and for all of her help and caring ways. She loved her family and was proud of all of you. We truly believe that she is in a better place and that God is taking good care of her as she took care of others. With heartfelt sympathy, The Frank Banks family.
I worked with Jenny at West Hills Health and Rehab for four years. Jenny always had a smile for everyone. She was very kind and caring. She will be missed by many.
Our prayers and thoughts are with your family.
Gina, Lucy, Maria & Family: Your Mother was a special lady! Knowing her as a neighbor, she always was very pleasant with a smile on her face. After reading through the Guestbook, I’ve learned so much more about her. She was so much to so many people. May God be with you during this difficult time.
Lucy, I am very sad and heartbroken to hear about your mother. I only met her for the first time at my cousin’s wedding years ago, and yet whenever she saw my aunt (Jeanette LaRosa) any time after that, she would always ask her how I was doing. Forever more I will be amazed and thankful for that. She was a beautiful human being that this world needs more of. Your mother will always be with you, your sisters, and your children. I will pray for all of you. May God Bless You Always. David.
To the Family of Jenny, I was so very sad to hear about Jenny. I had the priviledge to work with her at Mariner West Hills. She was the hardest working woman I knew; she was always loving, gentle and kind to everyone. Jenny gave me great support and comfort when my fiancee’ died suddenly. He and his family were from Patrica, Italy. Jenny looked remarkably like his “ma-ma”. Jenny hugged me every day after his death, and I could not have continued on life’s journey without her. I will miss her greatly. I will forever keep Jenny and your family in my heart, thoughts and prayers. I am a better person for having known and worked with her. Sincerely, Patricia A.

When tomorrow starts without me And I’m not there to see; If the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears of me; I wish so much you wouldn’t cry, The way you did today, While thinking of the many things We didn’t get to say. I know how much you love me, As much as I love you, And each time you think of me I know you’ll miss me too; But when tomorrow starts without me, Please try to understand, That an Angel came and called my name And took me by the hand And said my place was ready In heaven far above And that I would have to leave behind All those I dearly love. As I walked through heaven’s gates, I felt so much at home. When tomorrow starts without me Don’t think we’re far apart, For every time you think of me, I’m right here, in your heart.
Gina, Lucy, Maria & Family, I am very sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Dear Gina,Lucy,and Maria, I can’t tell you how sorry I am for the loss of your mom. Gina and Lucy, I met you along time ago with your mom. I remember when I heard your mom talk, I loved her Italian accent. It sounded so pretty. And I remember her being very friendly, with a big smile. My mom is Jeanette LaRosa, and she introduced all of us. I wish you and your family the best, I know there isn’t a word in the world that can make you feel better,but sometimes it helps to know so many people care. There’s nothing in the world worse than losing a loved one. May God Bless all of you and may he always keep you in his tender loving care. Love Sherri ‘LaRosa’ Grieco
Dear Jack, I’m so sorry to hear about the loss of your sister.I had no idea that Genoveffa was related to you. I can’t tell you how bad I feel. You and your family are so sweet. They say God has a reason for everything, But its so hard to accept these kind of tragic obstacles in our lives. I guess we’ll never know until its our time. God Bless you and all of your family. I’m sure your sister will be very sadly missed, but never forgotten. Take care of yourselves. Love Sherri, Joey, Jennifer and Maria Grieco

Mary & family, I am so sorry for the loss of your mother. Please know that I will remember your mom and your family in my prayers. Mary, when I eventually put two and two together and realized that it was your mom, my heart ached for you and your sisters. May God comfort you in your time of deep sadness. Love, Tanya (Shoup) Dillon and Family
Mary & Lucy, I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. I’m happy to say that I had the pleasure of meeting your mom when we were all back at WVU & it was always clear to see where your great qualities came from. I will never forget my trip to Weirton and still talk about it to this day. Although there is nothing that I can say or do I just wanted you to know that I was thinking of you and how truly sorry i am. Stay strong and take care. Butch
