To my cousin's... There are so many memories of all the family gatherings ... I particularly remember one thanksgiving in Melville ...a huge table filled with food and new to me, Italian food on Thanksgiving in addition to the traditional fare. On another occasion in Huntington, I remember sitting with her and Bob in the solarium (Bob loved his gardens). On college break I worked in their warehouse packing boxes. We have a huge family of decedents, all good people, which is a testament to the Kelly lineage. God bless you, Aunt Alma. Love, your cousin Jim (Mc).

Dear Family, My heart and prayers go out to you at this very difficult time. One of my memories of your Mom and Grandma occurred when I was 16. I was a timid high school Junior needing a summer job. My Aunt Alma said, "What is so hard about that? Just get on the train at the first stop (179th Street) and get off at the last stop (Wall Steet). Go to every bank and insurance company..voila -my first job! Thank you, Aunt Alma. Love to all my cousins. Fra

Condolences; I am so sorry to hear of Aunt Alma"s passing, she was a good woman. Now Alma and Bob are together forever. I miss them. - John Conroy

Sympathies to my cousins at the loss of their mother, Alma. Alma enjoyed all of life and was bold in her outlook and never ending pursuit of learning, as she would frequently share when we spoke. I am so happy to have had the opportunity to hear her voice one last time this past weekend; it brings a peace to my heart. Alma...the last sibling of a large family. Blessings to all, Love, Barbara & Bill Giarratana
