    Mrs Pipella was such a special part of my childhood. Her encouraging words, her laugh and her continual encouragement was treasured always.
    Mr. Pipella, Christine, Jo and Quincy; may you find strength in the days ahead and you share memories of your wife, mom and grandmother. Thinking of you all and sending hugs your way.?
