Personal note from Peter J. Accorti (Son)

I wasn't sure if I wanted to create a public website obituary or not. My mother lived a quiet life and she was not particularly outgoing to people she didn't know. But, she does have a story to tell. My mother lived some of the most traumatic moments in WW II and despite it all she came through it to live a life of love and family.

Like most of us she left only a small ripple in time. But she lived, she loved, she laughed and she touched those nearest to her. I'm proud to have called her my mother and the Dutch heritage she bestowed upon me.
