It is with deep sadness I offer my heartfelt condolance. I have many fond, indelible memories of Emily’s kindness, warmth and endearing sense of humor. I so enjoyed my visits with Frank and Emily in Norwood and then Mount Laurel; laughing and talking, usually over one of Emily’s delicious meals. The years passed so quickly. Emily’s light will never dim for those of us who knew and loved her. The same for her wonderful husband, Frank. May the joy and love Emily gave so abundantly be what we all remember most. I will always miss her smile. Love and peace to you. Tony

Frank, I am so sorry for your loss. I remember seeing your mom at your Dad’s funeral and she told me not to call her Mrs.Carfioli, call me Emily. It was great that you got to spend the last couple of years together in California. Thoughts and prayers to you and the family.
