Mr. Ruggiero, Rob, Susan, Allison, Meredith, Emily, John and all of your beautiful Ruggiero family,
We were so sad to hear the news about Mrs. Ruggiero. Our family has many memories of her as half of a beautiful couple, a wife,,mom, great mother-in-law and awesome grandma.
We remember her with Mr.Ruggiero at soccer games, softball games, tag sales, birthday parties, barbeques and graduations.
I remember her sweet smile, whether she was surrounded by all of the kids, observing the kids playing with friends or sitting with a child on her lap.
I have a very vivid memory of her gentle grandma ways while buckling a bunch of baby Ruggiero's into car seats after a softball game at Academy School or picking up a couple of kids for a sleepover in Essex.
I remember what a treat it was for whoever had a turn sleeping over.
I remember the waves, kisses of little Ruggiero's running to greet their grandma and grandpa as their car rolled up to their house.
It was precious to see the kids so proud to have their grandma and grandpa there with them on any occasion.
Caroline and Ted remember her too...as the nice grandma who was so comfortable with all of the kids and always so nice to their friends.
What a gift to have such loving parents & grandparents living so close by and so involved in your day to day lives.
May your sweet memories, friends and family be a comfort for you. I believe she'll live on in the smiles of her grandchildren and treasured moments in special places and family stories.
We're so sorry.
Love,
Liz, Griff, Caroline & Ted
