There are no words to describe how heart broken I am over the loss of my cousin or should I say my sister Marietta. We shared many wonderful childhood and adult years together. There is so much I could say, she was loving,caring, and had a heart of gold. She was beautiful inside and out. Marietta cherished her whole family and was a fantastic Wife, mom, grandma, sister and aunt. She loved her cousins and we loved her. The bond all of us cousins have for each other is unbreakable and will be forever no matter where we are. I am so sorry and heartbroken for her family. May you Rest In Peace. Love you Marietta. My love and prayers for your loss. Josie

Aunt Marietta, I didn’t get to grow up with a collection of personal stories about you like my sister and brother did. Everyone in my family got to make memories with you, meanwhile I grew up knowing you from a distance as one of “The Aunts”—a role, I would brag about with pride, in elementary school--a descendant of my grandmother’s sisters. To me that was something special, but no Floridian understood how I could have so many “Aunts” and “Uncles” who weren’t technically sisters and brothers of my mom. Regardless, it made me feel special to be a part of such a legacy and have so many people to love, and who loved me in return. Since I didn’t have many of my own memories of you I gained what I knew of you through the recollections of others, family photos/videos, and the ritual evening conversations you would have with my grandma (your LaLa). As for my own memories, I grew up remembering your shoulder length blonde hair, beautifully manicured nails, and the rasp and inflection in your voice when you told stories. I will never forget the stories you told while we all sat eating potatoes and eggs when you would come to visit. Your animation plays now before me as I sit and remember. Simple memories, in the grand scheme of things, but even though I didn’t know you as well as many I knew enough for you to make an imprint on my heart and an everlasting impression in my mind. Most memorable is one moment in particular: you came to visit my grandmother and in conversation I overheard that you were the writer in the family. I felt closer to you in that moment just by knowing we had shared something in common. I wished then that there was more I had known about you. Now, I keep saying to myself, “it isn’t possible that one of “The Aunts” are gone”, as though that title implied immortality. Your absence will be felt by me and so many, but none more than your children and grandchildren. For them your story will live on because you were so much more than just an immortal presence shared through stories, for them you were their creator, the one who shaped each of their stories, and the one who defined their perception of the world. You were the one they went to for advice, and their sounding board. That loss is immense, but it was loss you were also familiar with, and you shared that strength with them, too. Through them, and their stories, you will continue to be immortal in memory, and you will forever be so very greatly missed. My heart aches for their loss, and my love goes out to all of them, and to your brother's, sister-in-law's (sister's), and all of your nieces, nephews, and cousins. Aunt Marietta, there was no one like you. I pray that you are at peace. I pray that you are now back in the arms of your mother, father, and beloved husband. I would like to think that all of you are catching up on stories while eating potatoes and eggs in heaven, and that you are getting everyone to laugh by saying something like, "they love me, they really love me". While there is profound sadness here on earth, I have to hope that there is joy in heaven. Rest easy and know that you were truly loved, and will be greatly missed. Love always, Nicole Pietrantonio, and Family.

Looking at her picture here and it just doesn’t seem real. Marietta my beautiful godmother/cousin, I know she was very proud of that title. She made sure to remind me that I was beautiful because of her. Lol, and my other godmother wasn’t as special as her. She was definitely one of a kind, with a personality that could have you laughing in tears as soon as she told you a story. I know and read how many other people felt the same way. It was one of many gifts she had. I have so many memories of her growing up and for some reason most of them revolved around all of us eating.(We’re Italian we can’t help it we are known for that). I would always look forward to our get togethers as a kid and an adult. Since we lived in another state you miss certain milestones but that doesn’t mean the love you have for someone goes away. We would always have a bond that distance can not break. We are connected by our hearts. And now that she has passed our hearts will still be connected and our love will still go on. Family was so important to her they were her life especially her kids and grandkids who she was so proud of. She will be holding your hands forever, her heart will always be with you and she is inside all of you. Take care of each other like you always do. She would want nothing more. Love her and will miss her dearly. Love all of you and thinking of all of you.

What can I even say.. there are no words. The shock and disbelief is still overpowering. Your mother was like no other person and truly such a special person. I consider myself so extremely privileged and lucky to have known her and grown up with her all of these years. Anyone who met her for more than a second would say the same. She was the person who immediately made you feel at ease and like you had known them for 20 years. She made friends with everyone she met, a person in line at the store or a customer who came into the bank. She had such a special way about her, a warmth and a light that radiated around her, that made people feel so comfortable around her. She had a personality that lit up any room she was in. Whenever she spoke, everyone hung on every word because that is how captivating and engaging she was when she told a story. All 3 of her kids have so many of her wonderful characteristics including her flair for telling story, her humor and most of all her caring spirit and her loyalty to all those who she loved. And I consider myself so lucky to be one of those people. She was my second mother growing up in NJ. We have so many countless memories together in these past 26 years. I will never forget all the sleepovers, dinners she cooked me (her soup in paticular), times she was there for me, (especially Sept 11) and so many special events. And even more ordinary days like bagel and cold cut lunches or car rides when she drove us somewhere when we were too young to drive. I know how much she loved her family. You guys were the most important thing in her life. I hope that you know how much she loved you and appreciated how wonderful her kids were. I hope you know that she is always with you, and really all of us because I can hear her voice and what she would say or a story or anticdote she would tell. But mostly her love is always with you and that will never go away. I hope she is at peace and with your Dad again. I love you girls so much and I love my Momietta.
