Aunt Hy will be truly missed by everyone. She was wonderful to me growing up, and spread her love to my husband and our family. She was part of all the special times in our lives.

Was so sad to hear this. Keeping everyone in my thoughts and prayers🙏🏻 Aunt Hy was truly an inspiration, a woman of great strength and courage who for as long as I can remember never let life and corcumstances get her down. She rose above them and always with a smile on her face and never a negative thing to say about anyone pr anything. She was truly 1 in a million and will be sadly missed as the Angels now carry her home. Til we meet again ❤️

Wayne, we are so sorry to learn of the loss of your mother. It doesn’t matter how old we get, we still miss our moms when they are gone. I only got to meet your mom once, but remember her fondly. Our thoughts are with you and your family at this time and hope you celebrate her long and loving life. Hugs, Joan and Darrel

My deepest condolences to Cliff, Wayne, Bruce and Families. Your mom was the nicest lady and it was a honor to work with her side by side in the Radiology Department at Warren Hospital. I will not be able to attend her services since I’m going out of state this Wednesday. Be strong, keep the faith and know that she is with you everyday, now your Angel in Heaven. God Bless You All, Ellen Thomas Piperata.

We are so sorry to hear about Aunt Hy’s passing. My siblings and I (along with our parents, Nancy and Bill) were very happy to be a part of her 95 birthday celebration a couple of years ago — it was a joyous time to spend with extended family that we don’t get to see very often. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and everyone she touched during her long life.
Lots of love,
Lauren (Wynings), Paul, Amelia, Halle, Dina, and Ella
