My Aunt Marianne , My Godmother , My mother’s Maid of Honor and wife of her brother Joe . Those pictures show the last time I was able to see her only a couple of weeks before she passed away .. I will always remember her words as I said goodbye to her with tears in my eyes and she said , don’t worry , I will see you again . I know I will see her again in our forever home but for now I will miss her terribly . Unfortunately ,I could not come to her beautiful Memorial bc my mom had fractured her hip and got an infection and continues to need my care and live with me . I was so proud to call her my Godmother . She watched me when I was a little girl when we lived in Staten Island and my mother worked and I always remember her saying when you’re here , you’re one of mine which means I can yell at you too if needed . Her snd my uncle Joe always made me feel so special and I loved being with them . Their home was always full of life , laughter and love and a lot of good delicious food cooking all the time . Us moving to Florida , didn’t keep us from seeing each other as upstate NY we were down the street from each other with summer resorts and Florida became her second home . She always had a way of making me feel special even as an adult . I was very comfortable to talk to her about anything . I loved being in the kitchen with her and learn how she made such delicious meals :) we would never miss a meal together when she came to FL. My life has been so blessed by my Aunt Marianne and I am so grateful for the times I could spend with her . My heart goes out to her children and grandchildren and I pray for their comfort and peace .

No matter how little she knew you or how seldom she saw you, she always made you feel that you were special. That’s a rare gift and we are blessed she had shared it with us. Rest In Peace, Aunt Marianne. Simone Pacilio

Dearest Henti, I’m glad I got the chance to thank you for the incredible impact you made on my life. When I was a little girl I wanted nothing more than to spend the summers in the Catskills with you, Uncle Joe, and my Roda cousins. And although you had your hands full (as the mother of five) you never said “no” to my visits. I would come up for a weekend, but when you saw how sad I was about leaving, you would always extend my stay. Thanks to your love and care, I somehow managed to stay with you for entire summers. Those were some of the best years of my life. During that time, you and Uncle Joe managed to turn this shy and squeamish little girl, into a horseback riding, motorcycle driving, dance show performing, cliff jumping “daredevil”. Thank you for that; my life wouldn’t have been the same without you! I'll never forget all of us howling with laughter when Uncle Joe got stuck in the basement, or the infamous blockbuster candle explosion, or the day you dubbed me "Lois Lane" for telling all of Purcell Street that Frank got into a school fight. You were the only person who referred to me by (the nickname Grandpa gave me) "Tracker", and when I saw you for the final time, your last words to me were, “I love you Track”. Well, Hent, I love your more! Thank you for always making me a part of your family. Thank you for being such a strong role model. And most importantly, thank you for your unconditional love. I will treasure my memories of you for the rest of my life. “Tracker”

I remember one day, when Henti made a cake or a tray of food, I don’t remember exactly what it was, but she came out of her house in a rush and was walking really fast on her way to Grandmas. All of a sudden she stumbled for a little bit and she was holding the tray out in front of her trying not to drop it and all of a sudden she fell into Grandmas fence and made a big dent in it, and if you remember the fence at Grandmas it was solid. She never dropped the food though. Me and Timmie were in the driveway and we ran over to help her but we were laughing so hard we didn’t have the strength to help her up. Henti was laughing too but was saying ooooh I think I hurt myself. I always asked her if she remembered that day and she would say “Yes, I remember, I broke my wrist!” And I would say, but you didn’t drop the food! I Will always love you Henti.....❤️❤️❤️❤️ SaraJean (Greenbean)

God has taken a beautiful angle from us. She always loved to go out a lot and be with her family. My grandma has done a lot for her kids and grandkids. She would never miss out on graduations, birthdays and holidays. I love you grandma you are now with grandpa, uncle Frank and everyone else. I know your looking Down on all of us. Rip my angle.

My Dear Friend of 50+ years Marianne, Where do I begin? The time You and Joe came to see me when I had lost my third baby & you Both told me to come to the Catskills with Scott. You both saved me from losing my mind and I immediately fell in love with Top Hat & never looked back because you took me under your wing, surrounding me with being part of a very special family. The times up there were simply magical and full of laughter and memories. I can’t even explain my experiences to others that never shared it!! You used to call me your sidekick and you taught me so much about life & cooking! I still make the best oven potato because of your secret and I do not need a thermometer to test my roast beef because I just stick a knife in the middle and put it to my cheek to tell it’s done! The time we went to an auction and the auctioneer would look my way for any box of junk!! You used to call my son Scott the “Best kid in the Mountain” & Shawn was know as the “Fat Man”! We as a family will hold on to such great memories and the special family we were honored to be part of. May Heaven have a Casino or Horse Race for you to gamble in since you deserve enjoyment. I will always miss my mentor & dear Friend. You have left a handprint on my heart Forever. Love from The Miro Family, Deirdre, Buddy, Scott, & Shawn ♥️

Mom Words cannot express how much I will miss you. There is a gaping hole in my heart and nothing will ever be the same. I was so blessed to have you as my mom, friend, mentor and confident! I have too many happy memories to put up on a board but will try to share some of my favorites. Remember when you lit the blockbuster for Missy birthday cake? You knew it was dangerous and ran to the sink pushing everyone out of the way and You actually blew yourself up! Chaos is a mild term for that day but yet we constantly laughed about it. I remember when my kids asked you to jump on the trampoline and you got up there and while they jumped around you , you ran off quickly laughing and telling everyone you peed your pants! We constantly fought about food. You wanted to make everything and I tried to cut back so you would sneak another dish in and tell my kids not to tell me. We went so many places together and one of my favorite is when I took you to Biloxi with Charlie and Dianne....I drove you to the surrounding states and made you get out of the car at each one to take a picture by all the highway signs because we were never there before. So many good times, you were my best friend and favorite companion, I can’t remember starting a day without calling you first. The one memory that really sticks in my mind is when we were at the casino in coconut creek playing the slots together and laughing. A woman came up to us and asked me if you were my mother. When I said yes she told me to treasure every moment with you because we reminded her of when she gambled with her mom and now her mom was gone and she wished she could sit with her one more time. That was such a long time ago and I’m glad I took her advice and spent as much time with you as I could. You were an amazing person who had a big heart and never could stay angry. You accepted everything that befell you and your motto was “ you deal with it because you have to” One of the last things you told me while you were laying in bed was “don’t cry” and you held my hand and we told each other we loved each other! I know you are with Dad and Frank and at peace, my tears are for me because I wanted you to stay with me. I will miss you forever. Love always, Your devoted daughter, Timmie

What an example of a Beautiful Eulogy of a life time of love between a Mother and Daughter. Every Mother should be as fortunate to leave her children with such closeness and fond memories. I am so honored to have known her back In the day. Always enjoyed my visits with the Rodas! You are all in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.
