Dear Stephanie and Lynn and all of your family...I am so sad to hear of your mom's death. You had the pleasure of her care and love for a long, long time...but somehow that does not make it any easier. I am sure that this will leave a huge hole in your lives...but hold in your hearts all the wonderful memories you have of your mom and keep her alive in your minds and in the love you have for each other and your family.
With love and happy memories,
Mimi
Big hugs to Lynn, Dick, Lori, & Rich! You're in my thoughts & I'll keep you in my prayers as you learn life without Vange every day.
May our Dear Lord rest the beautiful souls of our old and dear friends, Evangeline and Leo Ortino. They will both be loving remembered and missed by our family. May their memory be eternal. EONIA I MNIMI.

Vange, was like our second MOM. We loved her so deeply, Leo. and the family were so very special to us. Our grand-daughter, Mackenzie loved her so much. She will be wearing a special butterfly head piece that "MOM" gave her years ago. She brought so much laughter, wisdom, gratitude, love of family and friends. As her close neighbors for 35+ years, our family learned so much from both Vange and Leo. Her special unique character will be welcomed into God's hands and she will continue to spread her light spirit to all those whom she has lost. My most favorite memory is when I asked her "How do you run circles around me, when I am 30 years younger, Her response was good gene's and by the Grace of God. The second was, her unexpected way to react to a mutual-conversation with Greek words, that you had no idea what she was saying!
Our grief is deep. But we believe she is where her heart is (Heaven). We will miss her enormously and we pray that she finds peace, love, and well-being. May God give her entire family and friends the strength to always remember Vange's GRACE.
All our love to her family.............Bill, Debbie Davis & Mackenzie
She was kind and loving and she always made time for family. She traveled to Pennsylvania for all of our family events. Our wedding and the christening of our children. Here she us in 1966 for Nick's christening and 38 years later our son Nick's christening. She is with her husband in heaven looking down upon us God bless Aunt Vange.
