NOREEN MIGLIACCIO In Loving Memory One year ago today our lives would be forever changed by the loss of a woman far too extraordinary for minute words to describe. The impeccably difficult thing about life remains that it may be changed for better or worse in an instant. On June 11, 2017, our mother, wife, confidant, best friend, source of wisdom and our reason for being passed away unexpectedly, leaving those around her to be forever shaped by this catastrophic loss. Her family and friends would spend the next year learning just how much love, support, tenderness and comfort they had taken for granted over the years. Her children would come to learn, that although life can be cruel; their identity would rest solely and firmly in the fact that they are their mother's children. Noreen was a simple woman, one who placed the needs of her family consistently over her own and would give everything to see someone she cared about smile. If she couldn't offer anything more, she could be found baking her world famous treats for those she loved as an expression of her unwavering love and support. Our mother often felt that there was nothing in this world that her cookies or baking couldn't solve. However, nothing will ever replace the emptiness that we will carry with us for a lifetime. The love we have lost will never be replaced but will always be remembered and shared with those with love. We have been blessed to be raised by such an impeccable woman - thank you Mom for giving us more than we could ever ask for and leaving your children with enough strength and wisdom to overcome even the greatest of battles. We love you, we miss you every day and our grandest wish is that you are at peace baking for our family on the other side. You are forever with us in our hearts. Rest In Peace.
