It is with absolute sorrow that we announce that Raffaela Italia Tridici, devoted wife of 62 years of the late Quintino Carmine Tridici, mother of Antonio, and Rosanna (Frank) proud and loving Nonna of Connor and Sabrina has passed away into the arms of God at the age of 91. She was first and foremost a devout Christian and lived her life in service to God. She provided a safe home for her family with love and patience. She cooked endless meals for us all, and just made all look so easy. She loved her garden, her roses, being outside in her backyard and simply adored her two grandchildren.
We will miss you mom. You were the glue that kept things together whether we knew it or not. We know it now.
To those who knew you, you will be remembered as a woman who never shied away from good honest work, who just never seemed to get tired. You amazed people with your boundless energy.
This was a very heavy cross you were given. It is not for us to question why, but to have faith that is was part of God's greater Plan.
You bore it with strength and dignity.
Until we meet again in a better place, you will live on in our hearts.
We love you, goodbye for now.
