I was Blessed to have Mrs.Pellettiere as my neighbor most of my life. She always had a smile and kind words. She was a great friend to my entire family. She drove my Grandma every week to the grocery store and sometimes I got to go too. My children called her the ice cream lady, she had a heart of gold! She loved Sundays when her children and grandchildren came over; she adored you all and you made her so proud! We sure missed her when she moved but phone calls and e-mail kept us in touch. Truly a Gift and inspiration to all who were Blessed to know her.
