This Thanksgiving was hard to get by without you there. Your wanting to play cards at the end of a holiday was what was missed. As long as I am around you will continue to walk this world in my heart.

For those of you who were unable to attend the funeral mass for my mother I have enclosed the Eulogy that my daughter read for me. <br><p>Today we come to say good bye to Margaret DiGiulio. She was a daughter, a wife, a mother, a mother-in law, a grandmother, a great grandmother an aunt and a friend. It was once said that a person is not known of how they died but how they lived. If the people we love are taken from us, the way to have them live on with us is to never stop loving them. Buildings can burn, people will die, but real love is forever. My mother was one of those people whom you could love forever. My mother was one of 9 children of Italian Immigrants. Her mother and father were true great role models. Not someone making 10 million dollars a year but parents who knew how to raise children to become model citizens in their community. Margaret and her siblings grew up in one of the toughest economic era’s this country had witnessed. Born during the first world war, enduring the great depression and having brothers and relatives serving in World War II. As a son I can tell you she worked as hard as any mother could work. Provided the best she could for us whether it be schools or extra curriculum. I know as a young man growing up I now realize the sacrifices her and my father made to be sure that her children had what they needed. She was a woman who looked after her family and was one who was a friend to many. When she cooked you would think she was cooking for an entire neighborhood. I use to say to her why so much food. Standard response. “You never know who is going to come.” For the last 8 years my mother has lived with my wife and I. She was a woman who could be tough at one point but witty a few moments later. She would tell stories of yesteryear to her new friends she met. They would gather around and listen to those stories that intrigued them. She was a colorful woman in her stories and her wordings. Of course we could never use those colorful words in church. She was one who loved company to join her. So when she moved into our house she felt right at home because I inherited my mother’s love of company and also enjoyed friends coming to the house. Of course now that she was a bit older and a little wiser when her wine drinking buddy John Boliver would be coming to the house she wanted us to be sure that he brought his own wine. She was one who liked excitement and of course the game of chance. If she was tired and wanted to sleep a little later all you had to do was say that we were heading for Foxwoods and you would see a senior citizen jump out of bed and who turned into an Olympic star at the slot machines. I can remember bringing my mother to my cousin Millie’s wedding in Las Vegas, my mother being 88 years old and dancing up a storm not only with me and other guest but an Elvis impersonator. After the wedding and my thinking she tired we headed for the hotel room. Not ma. She wanted to play the slot machines. Around 3:00 AM I had to threaten to leave her at the machine and that she would never find the hotel room because the hotel we were staying had hundreds of rooms. Her comment ….it’s still early. Margaret in her younger day loved to dance and loved life. She was a woman who did not want to miss out in anything that would bring joy and laughter. Fortunately she remained as active as she could and lived an above average healthy life and never to be bed ridden. Up to 5 days before her death she was camping at Old Orchard Beach in Maine with family and friends having a great time. Many of my friends tell me that my mother had a lot to be thankful that she had a son like me to take care of her for those 8 years. I wish I could take the credit but most of the credit needs to go to my wife for the way she watched over my mother. I guess it’s a woman’s thing. If my mother got the slightest sniffle Nadine had me calling the doctor. God help me when she got home if I didn’t call the doctor. I guess the saying is true that you always marry someone who is similar to your mother. Thanks Dad for the warning. My many friends who came and sat with my mother and telling her jokes and having my mother come back with a joke of her own those people also contributed to my mother’s full life and brought the joy and laughter she was accustomed too. Most of my friends, my sons and daughters friends did not know my mothers name the only name that was associated with her was NANA. She touched the lives of many of my friends. Of course my nephew Ronnie would often come to the house and say Hi Nana how are you doing”. Unfortunately for Ronnie he would get the same answer Hi Ronnie are you working today”. I want to thank many of my friends who have helped me thru these last few days. Those who came to console me and my family unselfishly even though they had problems of their own. I will miss my mother and she will be in my thoughts and prayers everyday of my life. I will miss her saying “Joe where are you”. My love for her will never die as I am sure that the love of those she touched their love for her will never die.Today Margaret’s death brings not only a good bye to her children, Daughters in law, grandchildren, great grand children, nieces and nephews and friends but the close of a proud family. Margaret is the last of her 3 brothers and 5 sisters and of her 5 brothers in-law and her 3 sisters in law and of course her husband of 60 years. Today the proud parents of Margaret have called her home. Today Margaret DiNapoli DiGiulio is reunited with her family.</p>

To Mrs. Digiulio with heartfelt sympathy,<br>May you find comfort in the word of God and in the knowledge that others sympathize with you in your loss. Since this may be one of the hardest things we will ever have to cope with, the bible offers hope. Please read John 5:28,29. It has bought comfort to me and my family. I pray it does the same for you.

Margaret was an incredibly wonderful woman with a sense of humor. She had more spunk than most women today and said it like it was -- no fancy words or double meanings, just the facts. I remember when she would cook wonderfully delicious meals and speak Italian when she meant to speak English. I thought it so funny when I was young. The last few years, so many others got to enjoy her humor and kindness. Thank you to all the nurses and helpers who made her day a tad brighter . Yes, she complained occasionally but I think that was her way of keeping us on our toes. Especially Aunt Nadine and Uncle Joe. She did have a lot of love, which she shared with everyone she met. Whether it be new nurses or male dancers, she touched the lives of all her were blessed to meet her. Her strength and spirit will always be remembered and also missed. Love, Steve, Karen, Clay and Bailey and Meagan, Will and Alex<br>

Nana, I feel so lost without you in my life. I feel this void that is missing. I love you so much. I can't even begin to to tell you how great-full I am to have had you as a mother, a grandmother and a best-friend. I am thankful that my children, Daniel, Dayna and Erica had the opportunity to know you. I always thought I would have you around forever. God called you and took you home to your resting place, and I know that you are with papa now. I can only hope that you are celebrating your life with your mom, dad and siblings. I promise we will see each other again someday. I want to thank you for the sacrifices you have made for my brothers and I. It is something I will never ever forget. The memories will be forever etched in my heart. I love you with all my heart and missed you dearly.. xoxoxo

Auntie Marg:<br><br>Great Aunt to be exact. First of all, your message from Joe is beautiful. What can we say. My mother, Dolores (Dottie, your niece) spoke so fondly of you. My most recent memory is or my parents 50th wedding anniversary, where you danced long after others stopped, and that was less than 10 years ago. Love and God speed from the Zankowski, Cecere, and DiGiulio families...and everyone else that you touched their lives...God speed to see Uncle Tom.
