  1. We are so very sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. Our prayers are with you and your family at this most difficult time.

  2. Please know our hearts are with Mrs Vesce’s family. She was our neighbour for many years, & how we enjoyed our outside chats. Our little community will be at a loss without her. We know as Jesus reached for her hand she didn’t hesitate, another precious star in the heavens.

  3. We are saddened to learn about this. She was a wonderful neighbor and friend. Our deepest sympathy and condolences to all the family. She will be missed.

  4. Our deepest sympathies to the family. Margaret Vesce and her whole family has been like a second family to me when I moved to North Carolina in 98 to work with Tom Vesce. She was always an empowered Italian mother and spoke from her heart. She will be deeply missed.

  5. To the family, I am sorry for the grief that you are feeling. Knowing of God’s love for you, continue to look to him when he will wipe out all tears from our eyes, death, suffering, and pain will be no more Revelation 213,4 He says death is an enemy that will be brought to nothing 1 Corinthians 1526 How comforting to know that this will be a thing of the past and through Christ Jesus a resurrection for our loved ones.

  6. MAY GOD’S GRACE AND PEACE BE WITH YOU ALL. MARGARET WAS ONE OF MY MOST COLORFUL FRIENDS. I WILL MISS HER.

  7. Ernie and Tyler. I am so sorry for your loss of your mom and grandmother. Ernie I remember asking about you and your mom the last time I talked to you. I am glad I got to spend some time with her. She was a special lady. So so sorry for your loss. xoxo hugs
