I loved visiting aunt Nell and uncle Joe,the whole family was so nice.I moved to Fla. after I got married and they all came to my wedding.I was in a Florida antique shop and found an old South Boston high school year book, I opened it up and was pleasantly surprised to see my Aunt Nell in this Yearbook I believe it was her senior year.I grabbed it and was going to pay the cashier The man that owned the store after I told him that my mom's sister was in this year book, said to me that's yours you take that he refused me to pay him for this book the place was called Hidden Treasures.I lost my mom in 2023 I had given this book to her around 2019,my mom is Margie when I was up there I seen cousin Rose Cogliano, and had to tell her about this year book I found in Zellwood Florida, she now has it which is were it should be,growing up I always loved going to Canton, Joe, Tony, John and all the girls were so kind and always gracious to their aunt Margie and uncle Tony a great family.
I will never forget the summer I spent, with everyone it still brings back great memories love you all.

To the Cogliano Family and Aunt Margie my deepest sympathy for the passing of your Mother and Sister.
I like to share one memory that Aunt Nell said to me over 50 years ago.I
just came back from church as an alter boy serving Mass at St. Vincents in
So. Bost and she asked me did I go to church today. I said that I was just there earlier and Aunt Nell said Michael ( You Can Never Get Enough Of Church ) Once again my Sympaathy.
