To my best and dearest friend Elena and her husband Chris, daughter Tianna and sister Mary: My deepest sympathies on the passing of your grandmother. My heart goes out to Giovanni on the loss of his mother. I hope he is coping well in this difficult time. It seems like just yesterday when your mom passed away, I remember how he took that so very hard. I am sure your mom and grandma are together now in heaven watching down upon him and your family.



I have so many fond memories of your "nonna". When she was feeding your baby at the baptism - she was so proud and happy to be holding baby Tianna. Then the memories of going to her house and eating the delicious italian cookies she made. I always smiled because she didn't speak much english except to yell at her cat "get out"!



I want to give you something special to remember her by so I have created a web page with some pictures of her and your grandfather:

I hope you cherish these fond memories as much as I have. May God bless her, you and your family.



Love, Florence
