OBITUARY
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and friend, whose life was defined by his unwavering love for his family.

He was a man of quiet strength, steady guidance, and generous spirit. Above all else, he cherished his family - often offering words of wisdom at the kitchen table, cheering from the sidelines, or lending a helping hand without being asked. He made those around him feel supported and deeply loved.

He built a life grounded in hard work, integrity, and compassion. His example taught his children the value of honesty, perseverance, and kindness. His grandchildren will forever remember his warm smile, comforting embrace, and the stories he told so well.

He is survived by his loving spouse Sandra; his children Frank Michael, Marc, and Violet; his treasured grandchildren Frank Joseph, Nicholas, Leah, and Mason; his sisters Marie, Joanna, and Joy; his brother Paul; and many extended family members and friends, whose lives were enriched by knowing him. He was preceded in death by loved ones who surely welcomed him with open arms.

While our hearts ache in his absence, we find comfort in the countless memories he leaves behind - family gatherings, filled with laughter; conversations, full of wisdom; and the enduring legacy of love he installed in all of us.
He will be deeply missed and forever remembered.

​OBITUARY
Ines Mastrogiovanni, affectionately known as “Nana,” passed away peacefully on February 23, 2025, at the age of 99. Born on May 2, 1925, in the Bronx, New York, to Rosina (nee Santomauro) and Ercole Gaudioso, Ines was predeceased by her beloved husband, Vincent "Jimmy" Mastrogiovanni, her parents, her sons James and Peter, her son-in-law John Zerafa, and all six of her siblings.

Ines graduated from Evander Childs High School at the age of 16, and soon after she married the “boy across the street” on April 20, 1947. Together, she and Jimmy raised their four children — James, Robert, Rosanne, and Peter—in the Morris Park section of the Bronx.

Nana was the heart of her family, and she leaves behind a lasting legacy of love and devotion. She is survived by her caring daughter Rosanne (Zerafa), loving son Robert Mastrogiovanni and his wife Paula, daughters-in-law Sue and Diane (Lentini), and many adored grandchildren and great-grandchildren who will carry forward the memories of her kindness, laughter, and nurturing spirit. Her family was her pride and joy, and she treasured every moment spent with them.

Ines had many simple joys that brightened her days. She loved playing cards, especially the game “May I” with her loved ones, where fun and laughter was never in short supply. Crossword puzzles kept her mind sharp, and game shows gave her an opportunity to cheer along with and yell at the contestants. Nana also found joy in tending to her house plants, nurturing them with the same care and attention she gave to her loved ones.

Her faith was a guiding force in her life, and she found comfort and strength through her church community. Nana had a special love for the New York Yankees, and she spent many hours knitting beautiful, thoughtful gifts for her family and friends.

Nana’s love, wisdom, and kindness will never be forgotten. Her family, friends, and all who knew her will continue to carry her memory in their hearts. May she rest in peace.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Providence Rest Nursing Home, where she spent some of her final months.

OBITUARY
It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Laura Mussolini, also known as Laura Wissler, who left us on July 15, 2024, after a very hard-fought health battle. Predeceased by her husband Michael Mussolini, she was the mother of Michael Mussolini and Madeline Mussolini.

Laura lived a beautiful life that was full of love, laughter and resilience, and she touched the lives of all who knew her. She embodied the best of qualities: unconditional love, strength of spirit and an unending generosity that could be seen in her care for her family and friends; she never had a NO for anyone.

She worked for Atlantic Express Bus Company for 13 years before taking early retirement to care for her twins. She was a wonderful mother who was always there for her children, when they needed her the most, offering support, wisdom and love in abundance. A friend to many and a cherished member of the Bronx, NY community, she leaves a legacy of kindness and strength in her wake. She was a very courageous woman.

Laura leaves behind her mother Anna Gill; daughter Madeline Mussolini; son Michael Mussolini; the love of her life, her grandson Lucas Mussolini; 2 sisters Michelle Turner and Georgena Cosentino; her long-time partner, Larry Bullock; as well as her aunts, uncle, nieces, nephews and cousins.
