To The Capavella Family,
Though saddened by the death of Millie. I am so thankful for her long and healthy life. She lived life with joy and kindness. I will always remember her cooking us up her famous cutlets at the drop of a dime. She was always welcoming and I will remember her sweet smile and encouragement. And wow, could she carry a tune.

To the Capavella Family; I am sorry I won't be there for your Mother's funeral. Auntie Millie's death is the end of a wonderful era. I have fond memories of her and Uncle Cappy coming to our house for many occasions with your Dad and his guitar and Auntie singing. We sang "Your Cheatin Heart" all the way to Italian classics. Those were the good old days--only thing was we didn't know it. Aunt Millie was an inspiration; I admired her positive outlook on life. She always told me to keep busy in life and to sing, which I do. My memories today are filled with Auntie Millie, Uncle Cappy, Uncle Louie and Aunt Mary, and of course my parents Domenic and Antonette. And as all of my telephone conversations ended not only with a song but Caio. And so to Auntie Millie I say Caio untill we meet again. I love you. Eleanor
