Aunt Nancy,
I have only met you 3 times when you visited in Kansas city, but when you came to KC couple years ago I felt like you were a part of our lives forever. You remind me so much of my nani Vita Pisciotta, your sister. We enjoyed ourselves eating at my brothers restaurant (Cigar Box) when you came to KC. My dad (Frank Pisciotta) was still alive and we ate good food and reminisced.
I was very close to my Nani Vita and my Aunt Vita (Tootsie) and I wish I could of had a chance to be close to you.
Rest in peace Aunt Nancy!
Your Great Newphew in Kansas city,
Louie Pisciotta
