  5. Dear Famah, Mark, Dick & Elisa , Much love to you all, and to your loved ones, for the passing of your dear lovely mother Claire. She will always be my best lifelong, childhood friend. We love her very much and think of her often, especially each Sunday after church, when we pass Franklin School where they met in kindergarten. We’ve been best friends since then. We all always think of her as dear “Aunt Claire” We will request that she be remembered at a mass at Sacred Heart Cathedral in Newark, our neighborhood childhood church. We hope that your entire family will be comforted to think of what a great kind person Claire was and how much we all love her. Dorothy Lanzara Godlewski with Frank and Lisa

  6. We are deeply saddened by the news of the loss of your beloved mother. May you find comfort in the joy, warmth and love she has brought you in your life. You are in our thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time. Cynthia and Alan

  7. Dear Famah, Elisa, Dick and Mark: Bill and I are very sad to hear of your mom’s passing and you all and she are in our hearts and prayers. I will never forget all the good times we all had together, the summer in Albuquerque in the 1970’s, all the Lucille Ball moments shared by her and my mom, and how she and my mom have been best friends since kindergarten. To have a best friend for that long is incredible. Your mom stayed with me in NYC for a vacation in the 1980’s. I will always cherish that visit, as well as when she met Bill shortly after we got married. To me she was always the most glamorous person in the room, a fantastic cook and a ton of fun. May her spirit live on in all of us. Much love, Lisa
