Aunt Isabelle was loved, loved, loved by many because she was so kind, caring, welcoming, and very funny. We will always remember her incredible sense of humor and laugh! She also was a strong woman with deep faith and she shared her strength with anyone in need. Unfortunately, we cannot attend the funeral, but please know she and her family are in our prayers and memories. Donna Bernert for Cas Bengier and Family

I will surely miss my sister "Is" I enjoyed spending time with her at Sienna Woods, she would always want me to bring her some Genoa Salami, Provolone, or Capicola from Feddies or just some baked goods, but we had some good talks and lots of laughs. I mostly remember as a little girl she was more like a mother to us, buying us clothes, cleaning us up, fixing our hair. I will miss her and she will always be in my heart.
