Dear Richie, My spirit will be there with you today to say a final goodbye to my dear friend Tish. She was so special to me. Tish will always have a special place in my heart. May she rest in peace. Love, Nitsa.
What a wonderful person has been lost to all of us. She touched many many lives with her sweet smile and generous ways. Scotty
Ever since I moved next door to Tish and Rich, my home has been a place of peace and comfort. Having great next door neighbors is a very big part of my life and want to offer my Condolence to Tish's family and Rich. In the event I cannot make the service with my wife I wanted to let you know I am thinking about your loss and you have my prayers. Joseph & Karen LoBello
Oh Richie, my heart is heavy to have Tish gone from us so soon. My memories of Tish are so varied. I must share a few with you. One year the 'crones' met in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. I drove my suburban, so when we went sightseeing, we went in my suburban. Tish rode in the 3rd seat. Invariably, everytime we'd stop somewhere, everyone would get out of the car and shut the door - leaving Tish stuck in the 3rd seat. I'd open the door, get the 2nd row seat forward, and Tish would get out laughing. This happened every time and Tish and I would get a huge kick out of it. At the same crone gather, one of my favorite memories is of Tish singing a Bette Midler song. It was hilarious. Tish 'blamed' :-) me for the reason Kelsey came into your lives. She had been visiting me and met Dukie - our Springer. Kelsey joined you, Peanut & Tish soon after she got home. I told her I was so envious every time she mentioned Delicious Orchards. She loved life and lived it fully. She was in love with New Jersey and all it had to offer. She and I were roomies when the crones would gather. She was a much better friend to me than I was to her. She would call, e-mail, and made sure she always kept in touch. Richie, you, Tish, Kelsey and Peanut will always be in my life. May you find peace in time. You lost your best friend too. Love to all of you, Nikki

My deepest condolences to Richie and all of the people whose lives Tish touched. I will remember my remarkable friend forever.
Tish and I worked together as Public Health Nurses in Monmouth County. She always had a ready laugh and was great fun to be with. We had many shared dinners with Rich and Tish. The world is diminished now that my favorite "Crone" is gone. Our condolences to Rich and family. Elly and Art Shapiro

Dear Rich, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Please take care and know you are in my thoughts. ELMO
Tish has been the gift of laughter in my life. Tish has been my friend, a caring, generous, brave and wise friend. She has always loved me as I have her. She will be with me forever. I am so sad for her loss, and so amazed and thankful that she could be with us for as long as she was.
Tish was a loving friend and a help when I was in need. I never would have handled my diabetes so well without her advice and support. I have such fond memories of the times we met hither and yon around the country and of the good times with both Tish and Richie. I miss you! sandy
