I am sorry to hear about the passing of your
mother. I remember when I was a little kid
going into the Pizza Shop she used to talk to me about playing baseball with Rob and Steve. She was a great lady. I hope to see you
guys soon.

We were very sorry to hear about Carmella. We have thought of her often over the years, wondering where she was and how she was doing. We were her neighbor in Newton Falls untill we moved to TN. Special memories of Carmella cooking a big spaghetti dinner and calling over little Debbie to enjoy it with her. Lois also remembers how much Carmella loved to go to garage sales and Lois drove her to them for years. She remembers Carmella purchasing something she just had to have, and by the time they would get close to home she would have Lois drive to the side of the rode and Carmella would toss it out. We all are thinking of your family. In prayer-The Kitts Family

My sincere condolences to the Statti family for the loss of their mother/grandmother. She and Mr. Statti were my grandparents' (Bill and Bernadette Showers) neighbors years ago and have always been remembered fondly by my family. I have heard so many stories about Mrs. Cola and I wish I could have known her. I know she was a strong woman who cherished her family above all else. That lives on with all of you and therefore, so does she.

We would like to extend our sincere condolences to the Statti Family. Carmella was a real joy growing up. She always sided with me when we got chewed out by Sam at the pizza shop. She had a way of making us laugh. Always thought about Carmella over the year and we even talk about her still. There are so many good memories that we still laugh about. Our prayers are with you.
Sam & Katie And the whole pizza clan
