I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your mom. She was always so welcoming to me whenever I came over to your family’s house.
Even though life has taken us in different directions in life I have thought of you and your family often, Jane. Just wanted you to know how much I appreciate your mom’s kindness to me. My thoughts are with you and your family.

Growing up on Bonneville Drive - friends with Laurie and Mary Beth, I spend a lot of time at the Lauretti house. In my eyes, Mrs. Lauretti was the perfect Mom, I often wished she was mine. Always so kind, impeccably dressed, house in order.
I have many fond memories of her making pasta, hanging to dry all over the kitchen counters and table. It was so yummy! The smelly pepperoni/sausages hanging in the basement closet. The fun antique telephone hanging on the wall in the kitchen. Sleepovers and giggles. She really had a long life and was loved by many.

I grew up two doors down from the Lauretti family and the girls and I were childhood friends. I remember my mom telling me the story of how she and another neighbor, Mrs. Frucci, would get together after they shoved us kids out the door to play or go to school. They'd drink their coffee and smoke their cigs sitting in their housecoats. My mom said that Mrs. Lauretti would come over, however unlike my mom and Mrs. Frucci, she was always dressed and looking good for the day and she had completed most/all housework already ... my mom would laugh and say that next to Mrs. Lauretti they would feel like slouches so to speak. LOL She was a good woman and always very kind to us neighborhood kids. And we definitely did spend a lot of time over there!

Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord and let the perpetual light shine upon her. May her soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. The parish families at St. Francis de Sales Church
Sorry to read this. I remember her and Dr. Lauritti, real nice people. Took care of my family. Prayers for the familys loss.
Mrs. Lauretti attended Mass with me for many years at St. Francis De Sales. She always had a smile on her face. After the loss of her husband, Dr. Lauretti, she would attend Mass often with her daughter, Mary Beth, and granddaughter, Andrea. Her strong love for family was apparent. Mrs. Lauretti, you will be missed, but you are leaving a lovely legacy. My heartfelt prayers for the family.
CONDOLENCES TO THE LAURETTI FAMILY.
Sending condolences to Laurie, Mary Beth, Jane and Amy. Mike and Jenny Zagaroli and family.
