Mike Porro's Mom - Message from Mike FYI

Mike Porro's Mom (Genevieve Mary Porro)

Sue/Joe-

Thursday and the weekend were spent with mother. She passed this morning (Monday.) Guess she wanted to be with Steve's mom, to check out the afterlife. 

We'll forgo a wake, but will host a funeral Mass at Mt. Carmel (Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church One Passaic St., Ridgewood, NJ 07450 - Phone: 201.444.2000 -) on Wednesday, 10:45AM, then the burial and a reception at her house at 247 Emmett Pl. Ridgewood in the afternoon and evening (any time between 2 - 10 PM). 

All is well. She had a good, long life and left six pretty good kids, 11 grandkids and 13 great grandkids.  She died at home with her children around her and left this life in relative peace.


Note from Sue -  Mike agreed with me that our heaven definitely has tango and added that we would have to introduce it to his mom's in order to cheer them all up.  He requested that we ask people to hug their spouse, friend, parent, child or dance partner like it's the last time they'll hold each other.   That's so typical of Mike, and it's why we all love him so much.  Joe and I are planning to visit at the house on Wednesday afternoon.
