It is with great sadness, shock and disbelief that I share the news of the sudden passing of my beautiful mother and best friend Jo Ann Bellanti. Anyone that knew her, knew that she welcomed you into her home and heart. She was generous, kind and knew how to host the best parties and family gatherings. She loved to travel, entertain, cook and care for her beautiful back yard with her Caribbean-like pool and exotic flowers. I swear she never sat still. If she was not in the greenhouse planting seeds; you would find her making Pot Pockets or filling bags of Stoned Dust in her garage. John always said she did more in one morning than most could do in a week; before people even got up out of bed in the morning. She was an early riser. I can say with certainty that she lived life to the fullest and told me that the best gift to give yourself was the gift of travel. She is finally reunited with the love of her life to rekindle their "Everlasting love." My heart breaks for me, her siblings, her family, her friends near and far, and her beloved Rocko Rinaldo. Mom, I promise to spoil him rotten, brush his beautiful red ears daily, take him for all the car rides and walks he could ever imagine and most importantly buy stock in lint brushes, blueberries and cheerios. Love you Mom. May you be at peace back in John's arms and continue to keep us all going to get through this unbelievably difficult time. Services will be next week Tues/ Wed. Information and details will soon be on

Things are heating up against the nasty cancer causing PFAS chemicals in Fire Fighters Gear.

IAFF filed a lawsuit today in Boston against NFPA who are the people who oversee the testing standards of the gear they wear while fighting fires.

Seems like NFPA might have been in cahoots with these manufacturers who are making the cancer causing gear. I know ...crazy !

The union filed a lawsuit today against the NFPA for its role in imposing a testing standard that effectively requires the use of carcinogens in firefighter protective gear.

Hard to believe it is coming up on two years since I last heard his voice ❣️ February 24, 2021.

We are meeting up at the Wrentham Cemetery at 4:00p on the 24th for a toast followed by The Red Rooster

All are welcomed to join us.

The first picture was a funny day in Jamaica - the last time he was there. We left the hotel early in the morning and didn't come back till late. Of course he lost his phone. He must of made a good impression because our last driver of the night had found the phone the next morning in his car. The guy drove over 2 hours to bring it back to him. Second picture. Retrieval of the phone 🤣

This is finally coming to light - all because of Diane Cotter ❣️ who is a Fire Fighters wife from Worcester. She didn't give up - she needed to find out why her husband was sick. Turns out she is the reason why PFAS chemicals will be eliminated from Fire Fighters gear.

She is a true warrior ❤️

Fire Fighters should be able to use Cannabis to handle pain. It is alot better than using opioids...

I certainly hope he wins this ❤️

A state supreme court judge ruled Buffalo Firefighter Scott Martin can proceed with case.

Whelp - John made it to DC in spirit. If you look at the last picture - his picture is on stage to the right of the podium. I am thankful for all that were involved with the protest against the EPA yesterday. Our Fire Fighters deserve Gear that do not contain cancer causing chemicals known as PFAS Chemicals.
