DEAREST NANA MATIA:



YOU WILL BE MISSED. I KNOW YOU LIVED A VERY LONG LIFE (93 YEARS),

BUT TO ME IT WAS NOT LONG ENOUGH. I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER YOUR SWEET SMILE AND YOUR KIND HEART. I LOVED TO WATCH YOUR EYES LIGHT UP WHENEVER WE CELEBRATED YOUR BIRTHDAY. YOU ALWAYS LOVED BIRTHDAY PARTIES, ESPECIALLY YOURS.

I KNOW THAT LISA, DAD AND NANU ARE GOING TO TAKE GREAT CARE OF YOU. YOU CAN NOW TEACH LISA HOW TO SPEAK ITALIAN JUST LIKE YOU TAUGHT ME MANY YEARS AGO.

YOU CAN NOW BE WITH THE FAMILY THAT LOVES YOU AND HAS BEEN WAITING FOR YOU. I GUESS THIS WAS GODS PLAN.



I LOVE YOU NANA,



MARTHA
