    Joe, Maryann and Patty, and families, We just returned from a trip to get Laurie's message. I knew right away what she didn't say. Your mother was my dear friend. I will never forget her gifts of recipes, theatre trips, birthday/Halloween dinners, cards, phone calls, laughs and sincere friendship. She will always be in my heart for she touched my life in a very special way. I have been blessed to have known her. I loved her very much. I hope you will find comfort in knowing what a wonderful person she was and how deep her love was spread. "There are no finer gifts than these - good friends and happy memories". Sadie gave me both. Phylisan (Bob, Dayna, Rob and Tyler)

    Sadie was a very kind person. Even when she was confined to her home, she never forgot to send very nice handmade cards to everyone. We will certainly miss her at the senior center. We are so sorry for your loss of a wonderful lady. Cynda and Rudy Childs

    To all the Rotondo and Stella families, Please accept our heartfelt sympathies on the passing of Sadie. She was a very special lady. I remember when I first met all the Stella's- Eric warned me that you all could be quite loud. I felt so comfortable and welcome with all of you, especially Sadie. She sent me all her favorite recipes-handwritten. I will treasure them forever and pass them down to my next generation of Stella's. Our best love to you all, Michele Stella
