    Dear Uncle Joe and family, We will truly miss Aunt Desie. She was one of the first people to make me feel a part of the Seramone Family. She was the one who gave me a Miraculous Medal over 50years ago which started my devotion to Mary. If you shared a worry, you could be sure it would go from her mouth to God's ear. Please know our thoughts and prayers are with you and we also will miss her. Love, Sabby and Debbie
