To my sweet Aunt Jo! I loved the very long conversations we have had and the time I spent with you and my Dad back in Ohio! I enjoyed watching my Dad fill with joy when he would talk about you and how much he loved you and how glad he was that I made him pick up that phone and reconnect with you! Tell him I said hello and that I miss him dearly and am so glad for the 2 of you that you are together again! Love and Hugs.. Deana Margaret Ciulla- Inciso..
