Dearest Gail and Jady, I'm so grateful I could share in the beautiful Mass of Resurrection for Norma via livestream. I will always remember her friendship and her kindness to me and to my Mom. I loved hearing about her love for each person she met and her use of her talent for cooking to bring joy to others. With a giant embrace, and so much love and gratitude for our dear Norma.

Dearest Jady and Kisheri, at the conclusion of the funeral, we wanted to send all of our love with a huge hug.
The funeral was a beautiful tribute, and we hope you could feel how it was also spiritually jam packed with the presence of so many who are eternally grateful to Norma for her wonderful witness of love and unity.
When the priest said "we continue in the same celebration" of the Eucharistic meal, we were all together in that reality, gathered around that banquet, with Norma, Chiara, and all of our friends in the heavenly Mariapolis!
Know how much you can count on all of our support in the journey of grieving the loss of her physical presence and at the same time celebrating the many many gifts that she leaves us personally and as a community. You can count on our unity and all of our love, especially in the coming days.
Entrusting you to Mary's great love and care, sure that she welcomed Norma into heaven with an embrace of great love, we are with you!
Erika, Amy, Lucia, Lumi & Marianne

Jady and Gail: I will forever keep a million fond memories of Aunt Norma in my heart. Whether we were at your house in Maplewood, or a summer house in Spring Lake or Grandma's house, they were times that were filled with happiness and love. I so looked forward to seeing all of the Petruccelli sisters together because I knew that there would be stories and laughter galore !! Your mother took such pride in making extraordinary baked treats made with "all butter and eggs"!
What a beautiful and wonderful woman your mom was. She is now in God's hands surrounded by the light of love !!!

Jady and Gail, Norma's 100th birthday was something else! I'll always remember her huge smile and joy! I wish I had known her better, but then, I do know her through both of you, her loving, devoted and feisty daughters! She was very, very blessed to have you with her and to live in her own home til 101 years. Wow! My love and prayers join all the others in surrounding you today and in days to come. One always, SS.

My best Memories of Norma is her hospitality and cooking. Like any Italian Mama she always encouraged you to eat a lot and you did because her pasta sauce was very good. I stayed a few times at their house in Basking Ridge and Norma was always Mama to anyone visiting. Such a long life filled with many turns but never backwards!
Love to Gail and Jady,
Pat Dreveny

Jady and Gail,
Norma was truly one of a kind! I will never forget her warm welcome each time that I saw her and her keen interest in all that I was doing. She was a person of warmth, wit , and fun. It has truly been a great, great gift to know Norma throughout these years. She was in our prayers so much in these months and she is already deeply missed. At the same time, I know I (we at Mariapolis Luminosa too!) have an amazing friend in heaven now , in her. I am sure this must be a challenging and hard time for you both and I assure you my love and prayers especially for these days. In gratitude for the gift that Norma was for so many, Sue

Dear Jade and Gail, I am with you in this time of loss. I have wonderful memories of Norma, her joy and generosity, her welcome embrace to everyone, her good humor and yes, her good cooking. It was great to see her via zoom just a couple of months ago, joyful and looking as well as ever. We thank God for her long life and for her two daughters that are true heirs to Norma's good character and spirit. May God welcome her in His peace and bless you abundantly!

Dear Gail and Jady, Aunt Norma was a wonderful person, full of life and zest and knew how to enjoy life. She loved to tell stories of people she met and about when she was growing up. I will cherish all the wonderful memories that I have of her. She is now dancing and laughing in Heaven with Aunt Eva and Diane.
