I remember Mrs. Guarraia as a devoted wife, mother, and daughter. She was very proud of her family. Her home was immaculate and she made anyone who visited her feel welcome. May she rest in peace with her dear husband Salvatore. My sincere sympathy to her children and grandchildren. May the memories of their dear mother and grandmother sustain them during this difficult time.

Paterson, NJ 1971 Meeting Josephine & Sal for the first time and finding out that my father and Sal graduated Hawthorne High School together. My mother-in-law's affinity for orange juice and puffed rice after dinner. The many meals, always appealing and generous in variety and quantity. Her watching Mike Douglas, Dean Martin, and Bonanza and heartily enjoying the moments of entertainment. She leaves a void in my life, a memory never to be replaced or repeated and I'm glad with all my heart that she is at peace and in the arms of the one and loving Almighty God.
