God places people in your life when you need them most. Having met Cocella while attending Narragansett Church of God, continues to be a lasting and positive encounter that I will treasure always. I am blessed because she called me her friend.

Mine and Debbie's sympathies to Aunt Cocella's family. She was always a sweet, friendly, adoring Aunt who I always enjoyed visiting. My mother, also her cousin, was close with her and enjoyed being with her. Old pictures show they were close cousins AND sister-in-laws and our trips to Chicago were always special with a visit to Aunt Cocella's house. We are left with wonderful memories.

Aunt Cocella was a woman of God, a loving mother and hard working businesswoman. I wish I would have made the effort to know her and her family better. When we all get to heaven, what a day of rejoicing that will be!
