Pete, My heart aches for you. Your devotion to your mom was so very special which makes the pain hurt even more. She was blessed to have you for her son as you were blessed to have her for your mom. Hold on to all the happy memories you two shared together. Love, Joanie
Rest easy Georgia.
Campora drive will always remember you.
Dear Pete & Teddi,
It’s not often in this life to meet someone as welcoming and friendly from the very first day we met your mom playing cards at her dining table with our friends at NVAC many moons ago. It was never an intrusion but rather she opened her home from day 1 and loved getting to know us all, as we did her & your family. She was the ultimate hostess. We loved listening to her stories as a child & throughout her life, learning how to cook better & watching her sew, but most of all just talking with her. She was a stalwart of the community willing to help anyone that asked and always had unwavering dedication to her loved ones. She was gifted and she passed those gifts on to both of you, who each in your own profession, made beautiful music & outstanding cabinetry designs. She lit up every time she told us how proud she was of you. A bright shining light full of laughter has dimmed for our family & we will miss her dearly ❣️
Love The St.Angelo family & Gryffin too
She was such a great woman and always had a smile.
Georgia was a great friend to my family. It was a pleasure for me to grow up knowing her—and eating her food! She was extraordinarily in so many ways. And she will be missed.
Peter, no one could take care of your mom better than you! You are and always be an amazing person! I know how hard it is to be in it 24/7. I give you ( and Teddy) so much credit for giving your mom the best she deserved. She knew how much you cared, and will forever be with you. Love always, Lynda.
