So sorry to read about Ada’s passing. I am glad I attended the Club’s Anniversary and conversed with her as though it were 60 years ago. EmmaLinda (I will always refer to you that way, even if you are now a grown-up Emma), I hope you go on with your own life now that Ada has gone on to a greater place. I certainly would be there to help her on her way, except for this crazy time we are in. You are all in my thoughts. Fond memories.
Peace Ada. from Anita D’Angelo
It is with a sad heart that I send my deepest sympathy to all her family. I have known Ada for 67 years. She was my husband Cousin. She Christen our first daughter Valerie. She has been an amazing women. My whole family weeps. She worked with my husband for many years at Neman Marcus, he would always tell me she was his right hand.
I have used her recipes for many years.
She always made time for anyone who needed her. My family loved her. She will be remembered as a great lady with love.

It’s with Heartfelt Condolences that we share the sadness of your loss
and hope that the love and support of your friends and family will comfort you during this difficult time.
You’ve shared your lives for so many years. You’ve held each other’s hands; you’ve held her heart; you’ve have had so many shared blessings, and perhaps some few tears – yet she had to part. May the memories of her give you much peace and comfort. Some people come into our lives, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are forever in theirs, even if in memories. Ada was a good friend of both of our mothers. They knew each other well in Orsogna and they all kept in touch while in the USA. Our mothers have preceded Ada in finding their resting place in the arms of our Lord. Prayers and fond memories are what we have left to remember them. Wishing you and your family as much peace as possible during this difficult time.
Sharing hugs and caring thoughts,
Phillip and ( Carmelina /Lina) DAlleva
Emma so sorry for your loss
