Giovanna will be very much missed by all. She would travel to our branch to attend monthly meetings and support our events. At the last meeting she attended in July, she said that she would be right there to help us in any way. How can we ever forget her spirit? Rest in peace Giovanna.
St. Mary Branch 184, Los Gatos

Giovanna, or Joanna, as we called her, was like a second mother to me for many years. She shared so many warm memories with our family when she first arrived from Italy. I know I gave her a bit a grief when I was a teenager, but I know she knew I always loved her :) She will always have a special place in my heart. Love, Lisa DeLucchi

Giovanna will be sorely missed by all of her brothers and sisters of the Italian Catholic Federation - she was a dedicated member, friend and all around sweet person. As President of the Santa Clara Valley District, I could always count on her support and as a Deputy under her guidance, I could always count on her help or to be there when I couldn't attend a meeting at Branch 368. We have a hole in our hearts but we know that she will always be a part of our lives and her spirit will always remain......Giovanna...we love you and may you rest in peace knowing that you will never be forgotten. With gratefulness and love - Pat Cordich, President of the Santa Clara Valley District of the Italian Catholic Federation (and Louie Cordich).
