So sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. She was a lovely lady and beautiful sister-in-law. We all have many years of fond memories of her that we hold close to our hearts.
With love,
Diane Mergelkamp
Our deepest sympathies on the passing of your Mom. We remember her always laughing, especially when dealing with all us kids (cousins) at family gatherings. We are sending you all hugs and prayers.
With love and fond memories,
Kathy Pipitone Martin and all the Pipitone cousins.
Deepest sympathies and prayers. Your Mom was always so upbeat, kind, and loved all us cousins. Like Kathy said, the family gatherings were fun and hectic, and your Mom had so much patience and kindness for us. Nothing but fond memories .
May eternal rest be granted to her, and let perpetual light shine on her.
With Love, the Libera cousins
We have fond memories of the many family parties with aunts and uncles and cousins when growing up in St. Louis, and, after we moved away, of happily reconnecting on holiday visits. Aunt Alene was always so welcoming, smiling, inquiring about our children — she embraced us with warmth and kindness. That kindness is a lasting gift to us, and to our side of the Libera family. We hope her good life will comfort our cousins and their children in their loss. John Libera Jr. and Sharon
