Sue and I become friends when we met In college. Her mother was so kind and loving. She always had a smile on her face and never complained. Such a good sport with all those crazy antics the girls would put her through. May her love and spirit live on with all those who loved her.
My favorite memory was whenever I would call to talk to Sue her mom would be the one to answer the phone. We would have our little chats during those times even if Sue wasn’t home. May she be their guardian angel and Rest In Peace. ❤️

We are very sorry for the loss of our dear Nonna. She was a wonderful woman of love and faith who we enjoyed spending time with in our family gatherings. We would talk about life, having a strong faith, all of God's Blessings in our lives, and of course our families, especially our beautiful great-grandchildren.Nonna was always in our prayers during her difficult times. We know that she is not suffering anymore but at peace and in the presence of the Lord, our Mother Mary and reunited with her loved ones for all eternity. We will plant a tree as a tribute to Nonna, for all the love and life that she shared throughout her life. We love you and will miss you, Nonna, may you rest in peace.

All of my memories of Nonna were from times spent with the Baglino family. She was always so sweet, kind, funny, caring- a woman full of so much love. One memory I have of Nonna is when I went with Courtney and her family into the City for her wedding dress. There was Nonna riding on a NYC subway surrounded by us, hanging on to the pole and rumbling along the bumpy ride like everyone else. She was still so sweet and calm in the midst of the crowd, having these great conversations and it was just so delightful to see - I thought she was such a trooper.The tree to be planted in Nonna's memory will be symbolic of her life, with strong roots enjoying and enduring the changing seasons of life and a shade for the little birds she so enjoyed watching. Love, and rest in peace with the Lord, Mother Mary and all of your loved ones, Nonna, you will be missed.

The Baglino family has become like my own as we have shared many beautiful events and memories together. Meeting “Nonna” was something I had looked forward to the second my dear friend Sue started to tell me about her mom. Sue would show me videos of her daughters cracking up while making Nonna say funny sayings, all the while smiling and enjoying seeing her family happy. Maria was the pride and joy of her family and her beauty so clearly radiates through her children and grandchildren. I believe she has a heart of gold and has provided her loving family with memories and life lessons to last a lifetime. May she rest in eternal peace ❤️

I have many wonderful memories of Nonna, but one of my favorites is when Sue and the gang through her a surprise 70th birthday party at the house. As Nonna was coming down the stairs she was fixing her slip. Anyone who was near the bottom of the steps saw Nonna fixing her slip. We were all laughing so hard. She was such a good sport about it.
Another favorite memory is that Sue and I talked pretty much everyday. When I would call the house, Nonna usually answered and we would talk about anything and everything.
She was a wonderful lady whom we loved very much. She will be sorely missed.

Nonna, I don’t know where to begin. You were such a selfless, caring, loving woman. You always knew how to put a smile on anyone’s face. You put everyone’s needs and happiness before your own. You always treated me like family for the almost 15 years I knew you. (Half my life). So many memories with you. One of the funniest is you doing ‘America’s Next top model’ and walking down the runway with Brittney and Ashley. I’ll never forget your peace sign and kissy face :) You made everyone laugh without even trying. Loved coming over and watching your mid day soap operas or church on the Italian channel with you. You trying to make me gain as much weight as I could because you were always trying to feed me your delicious food. I remember you just loving to sit on the back deck watching and listening to the birds chirping and looking at all the beautiful flowers. You were always there to listen to me and give me any advice I needed. When I first moved to South Carolina and met a guy (my now husband) you drilled me with questions to make sure he was worthy of me, made sure he treated me right, and that I was truly happy. Rodney and Leyton visited a few Christmases ago and I remember telling Rodney that when we land he needed to meet my second family, the Baglino’s, and he better hope they like him. He still remembers how much joy and laughter you brought to the room. You made an everlasting impact on my life. There wasn’t a time I came back to NJ to visit that I didn’t make time to see you, whether it was in the hospital or home because life is short and you just never know when it will be our last. One thing I will never ever forget is that my facetime to you this past Friday night was going to be my last. You may have been asleep, but Stacy held the phone while I talked to you. Miss you already Nonna, but I know you’re up In heaven With Nonno and uncle Joe making everyone laugh. Love you Nonna.

I've known Maria since I was nine so a very long time I've loved this woman Like a second mom. She was there for me when my mom died 17 years ago. The one memory that sticks in my mind is when my dad had past away back in 1991 and he died all the sudden of a heart attack. And was friends with Sues dad and sues dad was in the hospital and had no clue my father had past so I went to visit him and in broken English he was mad at my dad for not visiting him but we decided myself sue and maria not to tell him that he had past so us 3 made up some story together it wasn't funny at the time but looking back it was funny memory we laughed about over time so now my mom and dad sues mom and dad are all up their together ❤ Love them all

Mary as I lovingly called her, was a wonderful human being. There are MANY childhood memories with Mary and Sue. I remember all the times that she "lied" to my very strict immigrant mom for me so I wouldn't get in trouble for going to "Big Mouth" up the block. Living up the block from Sue didn't make the sneaking easy. LOL. The poor woman having to get on the phone with my mother to say we were in Susie's room or went to buy milk, just so we can hang out for a bit. She would be so nervous and always say "Oh my God Reeta, I'm scared if you madda comes here to check". I could hear her now with her accent and her smile. We used to put her thru all that stress but then she'd laugh and do it all over again the next time. So many great memories. I will miss her dearly. My only regret is not seeing her as often in the later years.
I love you Mary...and please don't go spilling all the beans to my mom when you see her in Heaven because She had a knack for making you confess. ! She may come back to scold me!
Love always,
Reeta (Rita)

The most beautiful sound I ever heard, Maria...we lost an amazing woman who showered love and smiles on everyone she met. The earth is a smaller place now but the heavens gained more brilliance. She is now in the company of her dear Cataldo, Joey and all who have passed, all who loved her as we did. Bella Maria, rest now. Love, your niece Susan

My Mother- Maria Mazzola
I’d like to thank everyone for your support during this very difficult time in our lives. Mom will surely be missed. Moving forward will not be easy for our family but, we will certainly remain strong and hold in our hearts all of the wonderful memories we have of her.
I wrote this in anticipation that this day would come. Having the time and opportunity to think about what I really wanted to say, and to speak from my heart under normal circumstances, was very important to me.
I want to share a few things about her. She was such an incredible woman and a very special part of my life and the lives of many. She was loved by absolutely everyone. What was not to love? She answered to nicknames such as, “Mommy, Nonna, Lily, Sophia and even Pakoo”. She answered to all of them and adored each one!
She really lived a very simple life. She came to this country when she was just 21 years old with a newborn in her arms-my brother Ralph. She didn’t have much-she made lots of sacrifices. She was brave and selfless in the sense that she left her entire family behind to start a better life for her new family-us. She and my dad had many struggles but together they persevered. They went without, but we were given everything that we needed-the most important thing being love.
Every holiday was made as special as possible. Mom and Dad cooked and baked and worked together to make us traditional holiday meals. We all enjoyed plenty of great food. There was always a home cooked meal that was delicious on our table. Everyone loved their cooking-especially Mom’s. I was fortunate to sit with her one day and write all of her recipes down after Dad passed. She felt like she just couldn’t cook any longer without him, so I became her new partner. She taught me so much and we cooked together for a long time until recently when she couldn’t any longer.
With very little formal education, she was able to teach herself how to read and speak in English so that she was better able to function as a citizen in society. That I applaud. She always put her best foot forward.
My life has been fulfilled in so many ways and she was one of the main reasons why. She taught me how to love. From as far back as I can remember, she was always by my side. I remember (as if it were yesterday) her pacing back and forth with me in her arms in our apartment in Hoboken, when I was sick. I remember sitting in her lap and her rocking me, singing me songs in Italian, some of which I sang to my own children, nieces, great nieces and now my own grandchildren. I was lucky to be able to go home from school at lunchtime to grill cheese and Lipton Soup - and all my friends were envious. This followed through with my nieces and children as well. She always stuck up for me even as a teenager when I was doing things that my dad would not have agreed with. I knew I could turn to her no matter what because she would always find a way to deal with things or “cover up”. She taught me to never brag-especially when I got good grades and someone else did not- Boy did I learn that lesson the hard way! We were told that if we did something wrong that “people were going to talk”… She said this very often throughout our lives. Little did we know, she just wanted us to be the best that we could be.
She always found an opportunity to tell each and every one of us that there was a better way to do what we were doing. Often times, I would get angry and tell her that I knew what I was doing. I will miss what I now realize was guidance.
Mom loved deeply. Everything that she did was from the heart. She remembered everyone’s birthday, name day, saint day, and even the day that special someone passed.
Her children were everything to her, but her grandchildren and great grandchildren meant so much more. She didn’t need gifts or riches. A visit from them was what was most important to her. Somehow, she gained such deep love and respect from all of them. I hope to follow in her footsteps. Her grandchildren were never too old to sit on her lap and she would embrace them as best she could just like she did when they were little. She was never too old to be funny either. She loved a good laugh. We got her to do the craziest things. This part many of you may or may not know about her, but if you look at some of the pictures of her, you will see what I mean.
Mom loved flowers. She enjoyed going out on our deck and admiring them. She would remind us to water her flowers if we forgot. She also had a bird feeder that hung from a tree in our back yard. She would watch the birds from her chair and call to us to quickly come and see the special ones every now and then. Deer were also another favorite of hers. She would stand by the window amazed at how many there were on our front lawn. She would count them and often times try to quickly get her iPhone and snap pictures.
Her last days were challenging for all of us but especially for her. She spent 67 days in the hospital fighting and fighting hard. Each day was different in the sense that we never knew what we were going to see when we were at her bedside. One day she was up and the next she was down. The nurses and doctors were confused when they would ask, “How are you Mrs. Mazzola?” She always answered, “I’m OK! I feel good.” Her cardiologist was amazed at what he would see. One day he even called her impossible- Impossible in a good way of course. Even the nursing supervisor on 3 Pavilion East called a meeting about her. She told her staff to pay close attention to her because she NEVER EVER complained. One thing that remained constant was her smile. No matter how badly she felt, she managed to always smile at whomever entered her room. Most were surprised that given all circumstances, she was still smiling. That smile and her will power to fight was all we needed to continue our fight for her. She continuously asked about her blood sugar and blood pressure. She wanted so badly to continue to live even in her final state. She didn’t want to disappoint us. Her presence of mind was with her up until the end but her body systems failed. She certainly taught me some powerful lessons even in her final days- Never Give Up and Nothing is Impossible! Although I don’t think I could ever be as strong, I will always remember her will and her fight and allow that to be my guide. I will forever hold her in my heart. Life will certainly change for us but one thing is for sure, heaven will definitely be gaining our angel.
