Dearest Ned,
My deepest condolences to you and Frank on the passing of your mom. I only met her in the last chapter of her life, but was able to see the love between you and experience what an exceptional, life-loving woman she was. Fourth of July boat ride with both of you was hilarious! I Love all the photos of her that are posted here on the site... What a woman! Big Hugs, Jude
Dear Sylvana,
I knew you through being Angelina my mother's best friend for over 40 years,
A year ago this month my mom went to paradise and Joyce followed her , now the three of you are together again.
Sylvana in the past year we spent more time together speaking and comforting each other and became close, I am going to miss you my friend, until I feel you again, Love You " Bella "

Ned and Family,
I am so sorry for the loss of your mother .
There is not much I can say to heal your hearts other then know many friends have the family in thoughts and prayers and know that your mama loves you all, and now her heart heals that she is with her daughter your sister, mother, aunt , sister in law Joyce. They are together watching over.
It was extremely sad to read we had lost Lylvia here on this earth but knowing her, she is sharing her pretty smile and personality with the good Lord and friends.
She was our dear neighbor, and continued as a friend after we moved. She had a big heart and would assist in any way she could to any of her friends. I am so sorry I did not visit with her, more often. She was always a breath of fresh air. They were stationed in SC and since that was my home state, we always had a lot to talk about.
Sylvia, you will be missed here, but now you and Joyce can share some special time together.
Sending my deepest Sympathy to the family.
Grace Clark & family (Bill & Dina)
Dear Bob and all your family,
Very sorry for the loss of your wonderful mother. Seems she had a fine long life , But then I've only known her for maybe half of her life and Bob, that means it's over 40 years ago we were at Villa Plaza Cinema... you all made me feel like family at your house in Lakewood, remembering your mom trying to keep track of everybody that was in and out of the house… was only very recently I learned of Joyce's passing and I was truly shocked. Bob, do you remember I took Joyce to an Elton John concert when we were about 17, Joyce and I were right down front and for some stupid reason during a song Elton gets up from the piano and grabs a bucket of water and most of it ends up on Joyce… and how many times did your mom hear Simon & Garfunkel sounds of silence played over and over and over again that we listen to it in your room. My mom passed away three years ago, she lived 85 but I've decided that wasn't near enough, and I'm sure you all feel very much the same, the ones we really love never get enough time. God bless you all. Greg O'Neill
When I first met Mama over 15 years ago, she had and to this day had such an accent. She would talk with me and I would just shake my head in agreement. She would look at me and say, "you no understand me!" She would laugh, I was busted. To this day there were times when I would have to ask Ned what she was saying to me. But there was never any doubt of the love that she felt for me or I for her. She was elegant, kind, thoughtful and one of the most beautiful women to grace my life. Mama, rest in peace with God. I will see you again someday. Ciao bella....Rhonda Kelly
What a blessing to have known such an amazing woman. I am so grateful to have shared moments in life with Mama Lichty. She knew not a stranger .... was the most kind, caring, loving individual imaginable. I will cherish the memories I have forever ..... until we meet again ..... love you Mama Lichty
