in honor of Lena.

Dear DeRiso Family, please accept my heartfelt condolences on your loss. If Traditions at Royalton Place had a contest for the warmest, bighearted, awe-inspiring when faced with a serious health issue, always pleasant when chatting with a neighbor, Lena would win hands down. I and everyone else in Traditions Tuesday Book Club will miss our honorary member, Lena. We wish your family peace and healing during this difficult time of grief. With sincere sympathy, Donna Nettgen

Mrs. DeRiso was my Confirmation Sponsor! She always had such a holiness about her. I know she is with God and I pray she will continue to pray for all of us as we will for her!! News of her passing made me remember this particular time in my life with her and coincidentally my youngest child will be making her Confirmation this spring. My condolences to all the family and friends. May you all be comforted as I am with my blessed memory.

With sympathy and love,

The besties are together again. I’m sure they haven’t stopped talking yet!

I am heartbroken for Dina, Carla and their families, but I am comforted knowing Lena is at peace. She was a gem of a lady—beautiful, kind, loving and sweet. She loved fiercely and she prayed just as fiercely. I will miss her.

To the DeRiso family, please accept our deepest sympathies on the loss of your Mom and Grandmother Lena. She was one of our neighbors at Tradltions. She was always a bright light and what an inspiration. No matter what she was going through, she was always smiling and friendly. We saw her as a true fighter with a strong faith. But, she is with her beloved Sonny. She will always remains in our hearts. May God bless your family, especially in this times of grief. Ronnie and Rosemary Horvath
