Aunt Julia was so very good to me. Throughout my life when I had an important decision to make or a worrisome problem, I would often turn to her for advice before I discussed it with my own mother and father. Aunt Julia and Uncle Angelo always gave wise and loving counsel.
I have so many great memories of wonderful times spent with Aunt Julia and Uncle Angelo, Grammie Harriet and Joe, and the all the Aunts, Uncles and Cousins. Those three wonderful homes on Main Street, the yards, woods and gravel pit, Medway Pond, Eastham, and Prince Edward Island…we had such good times together.

Charley, Edna, Helen, Maryann, Vinnie, and Jim. She loved you all and your wonderful spouses so much and was very proud of you all.
David, Jennifer, Ami, Andrea, Jessica, Angelo, Tony, Jimmy, Ben, Katie, and Nick. She would often say to my Father and Mother “grandchildren are the best invention!” They of course agreed. And she was so thrilled with her great grandkids. Clifford, Greggy, Miles, and Sasha you brought her so much happiness.

We will all miss her so much – She was a great lady.
