Not sure what to say?





What a beautiful lady! I have so many fond memories growing up with Zia Carmelina. I feel the summer Casteltermini 'Paese' Family Reunion was her farewell party. So glad she came. (In our group picture, she is literally pictured in the middle with all of us around her). She is in heaven now where the next party will be! Peace, love and joy to the whole family during this time. Our prayers are with you.

Sincerely,

Marianna and David Biedrzycki (Girgenti)
