Julie, so sorry to hear about your mom. You are I. My thoughts.
Julie, Randy, Mike and family… I am sorry to hear of the passing of your Mom. You are all in my thoughts. So many good memories of Aunt Theresa… growing up around the Izzarelli farm… wings at Romans… and the many family events over the years. Please accept my condolences.
I am heartbroken by the passing of “Tessie” as I always called her. She was on my pinochle team for years and we shared many chats and recipes. She gave me the secret ingredient of Italian cooking and I always incorporate it into my dishes.
Tess was loved by all of her online family and will be greatly missed. May she RIP with her beloved Mario
I remember her, Mikeys mom, back in the fifties in Madison, Ohio. She was Mrs. MacIntire then. Mikey was my best bud and Corky Welch next door to him on Benjamin Rd.
