beside memorable accordion lessons from your father (1952), those spaghetti parties of your moms were the greatest. Your family will forever have my love and respect. (Dr.) Carl (Calle) Englund

Marion and family - How strange that your Mother passed - just yesterday I was talking to my cousin Loretta Nepote in Ontario about Louis (who was a friend of her father Andrew- they both had vineyards) and about Sarah. It has been a long time since I saw her - when I was young and taking accordian lessions - her sister Adeline was married to a Barille (my grandfather's God-Son) from Corona. 99 years old - God Bless Her!
