We have only known Pinky and Kim for a very short time due to my son, Alex and Pinky having the same disease. Alex enjoyed making and sending Pinky cards in the mail. Pinky has inspired us with her amazing strength and determination. You have forever touched our lives!

To my best friend, my mom, it is so hard to deal and cope with you not being here anymore, i miss you more and more everyday. I do have you as my guardian angel as well as Lil David. You were the best mom ever and i cheerished every single minute i had to share with you. You will always hold the key to my broken heart..you put up a really good fight to get back in remission and i know if anyone could have beat this, it would have been you. It was devastating for me to say goodbye to you but i do want you to know i have been down the cemetary twice a day to visit you. We miss you so very much. We had the best times together and now all i have are the memories i have of you that i will cheerish until we meet again. Will never forget the awesome mom and grandma you were to us. Love you forever..Kim

I would like to extend my deepest condolences to the Kelly and Folino families. I was friends with Luanne and met Pinky through her. I remember her as being a very friendly and outgoing, caring person to everyone she met. May she rest in peace.
