Offer Condolence for the family of Elaine “Babe” L. Pignato, nee Smith
Please accept our deepest sympathies.
I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. My sister Gladys just informed me of your mother’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
I was so sorry to learn of your mother’s passing; we just received our Christmas card back so I went online to see if I could find out something. I’m the daughter of Caroline Carlson (Pignato). Your mother (like mine) has left you with a vast inheritance. Of course, I don’t mean valuables. You’ve been left with her gift of expressing strong positive attitudes and love, which she softened by an amazing amount of graciousness and kindness. You will always miss your mother, but being her sons and knowing her have made you rich beyond words. Our thought and prayers are with your family, God Bless.

Our thought and prayers are with you Gary and Maria during this difficult time. May your mother rest in peace.
