On behalf of my sister Jenn, I am sad to announce the passing of our mother, Jennie Robertozzi Martino. It had been a long, slow decline, but we are comforted that she was able to spend these past years in the hands of capable nurses, in her own home. When done right, I can think of no more noble a calling than being a mother (or father). For nearly fifty-two years, she did it exceptionally well. And while, if I lived a dozen lifetimes I couldn’t possibly have repaid her for all that she did in raising, supporting, and loving Jenn and me, I thank God for the time we were able to spend together, even at the difficult end, and that my sister and I had the opportunity to help take care of her. The above photo is of my mother as a teenager standing in front of the Charms candy factory in Asbury Park. It is my favorite photo. It is the cheeky grin, and abundance of life in her young eyes, that I will remember. We love you, Mom.
