It is with a heavy heart that we were informed of the passing of Josephine Mondillo. As close friends of the Mondillo family who were our neighbors for many years. We can only hope that everyone will remember her and the love and hospitality that she gave to so many of us. She was always someone who filled one’s day with joy, hope, love and the occasional comic turn. Along with her husband Jim and their children; Vince, Tina, and Frank they were like a second family to us. Another home. I remember sharing many wonderful moments and family gatherings over the years as I was growing up and later as well. And they were also there when we lost our own parents, Nick and Anthoula. An exemplary woman who will not be forgotten and who will live on long after her passing in the hearts of everyone she touched during her life but most of all in her husband, children and grandchildren! Let us celebrate this life and be exceedingly grateful for all that she has given us.
Our deepest condolences and best wishes to the family.
Constantine and Daphne Hriskos
