Rare is the person who demonstrates the ability to multiply their love rather than divide their love. Throughout the seventeen years I have known Mr. and Mrs. Gambo, they together have shown me and so many others how to multiply one's love. It is evident in how freely each of their children carry on this lesson and it is a pleasure to have experienced the love the whole family offers. Missed will be the smile I would see on Mrs. Gambo's face when Rosanna would joke around with her mom. Missed will be the smile she would give in the plentiful and ever so sweet moments she shared with her husband. Their relationship is absolutely the sweetest I have ever seen. Thank you, Chiara, for loving your husband and family so much that it is second nature for them to carry on the love you have so beautifully graced them with. With much love I send to all who have been blessed with Chiara's presence.

She was a wonderful woman with a huge heart. She welcomed everyone to her home, and was a mother to everyone.
Her passing leaves an open space in this world that no one else can fill. She leaves a large, loving family and extended family - a testament to her years well-spent here on earth.
