I cannot believe that 10 years have trudged on without you. So much has happened in the lives of those still here. Kala graduated law school! There are babies, the family family has grown and there have been heartbreaking losses...but I'm sure you know all of this. I miss you and think of you all the time. I love you...say hi to everyone for me, and keep dancing!!

So sad to lose a great organizer and support for our union. Heartfelt condolences to the family and friends she left behind. She made a difference in her life and work--I can say that with full confidence even though I only knew her only through mail and e-mail communication.

I knew your Mom from when we were little girls on Bristol St - she couldnt speak English and I couldnt speak Italian but we became best friends and remained close all through school. She taught me to LOVE Italian food- your Gramma was a great cook, too. I have some great memories of Edna, and I will cherish those. She loved life and friends and had a beautiful smile! You are all in my thoughts at this time.

To My Cousin, Edna,

I will always cherish our many memories of our teen years...the movies, going dancing, sitting up til all hours of the night gabbing. Everyone in high school used to say that you looked like Elizabeth Taylor, and you did. I am now in Italy, but if I were home, I would be there. I want you and your family to know that I am with you in my heart. I love you, and May You Rest in Peace. God Bless and take care of you, cousin of mine. Love, Mary Anne Cerato Armstrong
