I remember Mrs. Ferillo from when I was a child. She was a good friend of my mother. My mother would give her perms, and one day, Mrs. Ferillo gave Momma a beutiful swan figurine. I now have this figurine with fond memories. She was a wonderful lady. My prayers are with her family. Patricica McNeill Rebber

Bud & Joy,

My deepest sympathy to you on the loss
of your mother. She was a loving, caring
lady and a hostess of renown, for the
many New Year's Eve parties and enduring
with a smile all those rehearsals at
her home. I cherish my friendship with
her and know that she rests in peace in
the arms of a loving God.

Miss Mae will never be forgotten. My Aunt Vincent was best friends with her for over 40 years. Many memories were made with them two. My mom Maria Stephens and Aunt Vincent and I took her in to our home three years ago. Even before she moved in with us , she would come with us on vacations , and she would stay on holidays and when really bad stroms were headed our way , or when her daughter Joy was out of town. The day she moved in , was the day my life changed completely. We took her on picnics , we took her sight seeing , even on vacations , everywhere we went she was by our sides. Then there was holidays , Christmas , New Years , Easter , Thanksgiving , any importiant holiday you could think of , even birthdays. Miss Mae , I used to do her hair and make up in the mornings , bathe her , dress her , feed her , and if she needed someone to talk to I was there and most importiantly , make her smile! It was truly an honor to have her in our family. My Mom and Aunt and I took her in and she touched our hearts as well as many others. An amazing woman that had an incredible life. She may be gone from earth , but she will never leave our hearts. Her family , friends , and caregivers will for sure miss her today , tomorow and every day in the future , but we will all be reunited with her one day , when it is our time. I love you Mae , and I will never ever forget about you. Your faveorite bracelet will never be taken off my wrist either. Rest In Peace <3
