Dear Bernadette,
I am sorry to hear of your Moms passing as I was with your brother Paul. I am equally sorry that I am unable to make the trip from Georgia for the funeral. Your Mom and Brother meant a lot to me. Long before you were born your Mom took my Mother and I in to her home when my parents divorced and became a 2nd mother to me and I loved her, it remained that way after we moved out. Likewise Paul became a brother to me and we spent a lot of our childhood together. I have peace in their passing knowing that they believed in our Lord Jesus, and had received Him as their savior, as I did with my Mom, and one day will see them again, in this I have no doubt.
Love,
Your cousin,
Ralph & Joanne Cuomo

Nettie, Sarah and Paulie,
Where do I begin?
Lenora was such an integral part of our 12 years in Wallingford and has not, nor will she, be forgotten!
She was Karen's "mom" and encourager as well as co-caffeine-aholic. Karen reminded me that the girls and I have a LOT for which to thank Lenora. . . . I think she meant that Lenora kept her sane and present (physcially and mentally) with us on so many occasions. . . . A coffee pot was always ready and a heart was always open . . . THANK YOU LENORA!
Lenora was "Nonie" to all of our girls; a grandma in the absence of their two who lived in far-flung Georgia and Kansas. Even in the presence of Grandmas from far away, she was a part of our family. We are thankful our families were able to come to know Lenora and she them.
One memory, among many, is when Lenora took the summer vacation trip with us to Georgia. We stopped in D.C. for some pictures and spent time with my parents and family. Lenora had one goal in joining us on this trip . . . to attend Charles Stanley's church and hear him preach in person - ACCOMPLISHED! She loved good preaching and her encouragement would make the weakest of us preachers feel we were better.
She was an encourager extraordinaire to me as well. Bible studies attended, Sunday School classes taught, events attended and assisted, and prayer!
Lenora has been revealed to our new Midwestern family as she has been the foundation of stories and an example of life in and with Christ to many . . . even during my little sermonettes at the retirement community. . . . Our world knows her as they know any other person who has touched our lives.
. . . And we remained connected - Birthday cards & calls (she most recently touched base with Carrie on her 18th birthday in September - a special joy for Carrie to know Lenora was still a part of her life.) In fact, some of Lenora's passions have rubbed off on my girls . . . Katie is preparing for a nursing career; Carrie has a touch of the artist in her; Callie is sticking with her Bible quizzing even when she is the only teen in our church who is doing so; and Bradie . . . she is loud, loves to laugh and FOOD is a must! They all remember her and will forever . . . Karen and I will not allow them to forget!
The joys that Lenora brought to our days by allowing us to be a small part of all your lives. . . . We rejoiced with her when life was going wonderful for all of you and we prayed with her when things were rough. . . . Oh, the joy of her newest grandchild! She let us know.
Thanks for sharing your Mom and Grandma with us!
Certainly wish that we could be present for these days. We will be there in heart and soul.
Grace and peace,
Terry, Karen, Katie, Carrie, Callie and Bradie Frizzell

I met Bernadette at Aetna in 1990. Shortly thereafter, I met Mrs. Amero. It's hard to imagine a more loving and giving person. I was immediately welcomed into her home with love. Over the years we shared good times, family gatherings, and 'work' parties at her home. She was almost always in good humor and I always smiled and shook my head at her and Bernadette's bickering. They shared the love only a mother and daughter can have. Absolute. Even if neither would admit it to the other, both knew. I know all her family and friends will miss her terribly, as will I. I'm glad she was around to meet and see Joey in his first year. Love you Mrs. Amero, rest with Jesus now.

My favorite memories of my Aunt Nora included summer picnics at Aunt Jo's, and every Wettemann family function I remember going to. As a girl growing up, she was vocal and direct, she praised JESUS, not just Jesus, but JESUS and was not embarrassed or discreet about her faith. Nora was quick to laugh and to make you laugh. She was a great story teller and so much of her light and love are reflected in my cousin Bernadette, who I first knew as Aunt Nora's "little Nettie". What a blessing to have had Aunt Nora in our lives -- a gal who told it like it was. Home with JESUS now.

Although my wife spoke eloquently about Lenora on behalf of both of us, I would like to add my own words of appreciation as well.
My memories of Lenora will always be filled with the amazement I had for her tenacity and bravado in spite of all odds. Hers was a spirit of genuine words and observations sprinkled with the love of Jesus, and the brave spirit of Peter.
Whether singing with her in church, or just visiting, Lenora was a very genuine person. What you see is what you got, with her. If she wanted to tell you her opinion, you knew you would hear it, good and bad.
I saw that her life made a huge impact on many, as it did me, and we are all the richer for having learned from her how to approach life's troubles.
I pray that I learn to develop even a portion of her love for Christ, and a good chunk of her fearless hope as well.
-Steve Campbell

Mom drove me nuts over the last ten years... looking over those moments now....without a doubt they will be cherished times. We cried, yelled and laughed more at ourselves and with each other then ever before. Her laugh, volume and humor are things I'll miss the most. I've proudly inherited these traits and will unsparingly share with then with others. I'll always remember her cooking up a storm of food and her wearing aprons; mixing something together in that tiny kitchen on West view Drive. We sold that house after she spent more then 50 years living there. One of the hardest things she and I had to do. Many others called that little cape home; my brother Paul J., me and my dad Clyde. For a time even her father Grandpa LeRoy lived there, her sister Penny and Ralphie rested there heads under her roof and not to forget Paul's children Sarah and Paulie did some growing there. All were welcomed to stay and enjoy her blueberry cake, while being witnessed to - like it or not you're gonna hear a bible verse and learn something about her Jesus. Keeping it together and keeping you fed was one of her may self appointed objectives. But the most cherished was all she learned and shared about her love of her Lord. She spoiled me with unsolicited advice, humor, recipes and the harmony of knowing a church family and God. I'm so blessed to have had such a nutty, strong and loving mom. She was a round as the day is long, hand hands that stung across the hinny and a mommy to the core of her soul. She loved church, bible study, singing hymns and raising her hands in praise. She WAS Mom, Mrs. Wettemann, Mrs. Amero, Lenora, Lenny and Aunt Norie. She IS home with her Lord Jesus and forever Nora.

Lenora always called herself a "a Jewish Momma" to Steve and myself. She would praise us and love us, and chasten us when we needed it. She pulled no punches and we loved her and treasured her for it. She was always only a phone call away, even at night, when I needed help with my children. She helped me get my first job. After Hurricane Gloria she arrived at our new apartment with boxes and bags of food from her own storeroom. We always cherished the many Bible studies she hosted in her home, sitting by the warm fire. Mostly, I will miss Singspiration nights at EBC where we would team up and request the old-time hymn titled Beulah Land. How we loved to sing that song. Now you are there, Lenore, in sweet Beulah Land. Steve and I will always carry warm memories of you and your steadfast love of Christ, and are better people for having known you. Miss you already, go with God.
