Cast member and Joe's wife Melissa Gorga posted on her Instagram page a photo of the two with Antonia and their two sons and daughter, who is named after her grandmother.
"May she Rest In Peace. She was a beautiful woman who loves her children & grandchildren so immensely♥ I watched Joe & Teresa sit by her side for the last three months, the heart in this family is strong & she will live in our hearts forever," Melissa wrote.
Teresa's former co-star and BFF, Dina Manzo took to Instagram to pay tribute to Giudice and GOrga's beloved mother Antonia.
"My heart bleeds for my girlfriend and her family...Teresa and I have been friends since we were 22yrs old. Over the years I've had the pleasure to get to know & love her beautiful mother. Such a warm yet strong woman. I had an immense respect for her as a woman, wife, mother and Grandmother. Often times in the height of the Real Housewives drama she would hug me extra tight goodbye and thank me for never turning on her daughter. She would tell me I was a "good girl" and much like my own parents I never wanted to disappoint her. I got to spend many special Sunday dinners with her while Teresa was away. She would always make sure I had extra salad or would jump up and boil more pasta because I didn't eat meat. Just like a mama does. I'll cherish those memories. ~May she rest easy...my girl now has the ultimate Angel watching over her in this most difficult time in her life."
Joe has not commented publicly on his mother's death. Meanwhile, Teresa paid tribute to her on Instagram, posting a few family photos.
“Thank you for the love and support during this extremely difficult time,” she captioned a collage of happy photos of her with Antonia. “My mother was a very cherished part of our family and she’ll be deeply missed. Each and every one of your messages of love & support are so appreciated. Give her eternal rest O Lord and may your light shine on her forever.”
Giudice also shared a family portrait with her parents sitting in the center. The whole brood is pictured, including husband Joe, brother Joe Gorga with sister-in-law Melissa and their children.
“I miss my mommy so much,” the reality star wrote.
"Oh mommy, my heart is completely broken, you taught me so much about life, love and motherhood. This is a pain I've never felt before and goes so deep," wrote Teresa on Instagram. "I hope you know how deeply you were loved and how very badly you'll be missed."
Teresa Giudice's oldest daughter Gia Giudice also took to social medial to pay tribute to her grandmother. "now I have another beautiful guardian angle watching over me i love you," wrote the teen reality star in her Instagram post.
Antonia is survived by Teresa, Joe, their father Giacinto Gorga and seven grandchildren—Teresa and husband Joe Giudice's four daughters and Joe and RHONJ cast member Melissa Gorga's two sons and daughter, who is named after Antonia.
Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with Teresa Giudice and Joe Gorga's families and friends during this difficult time. #RIPAntonia
