Aunty, I wish I could have been there, but I'll always remember the good times when I was there or when you came to Calif. I remember going to Mexico and we passed a truck with long pipes on it, Uncle Guido said "how would you like to smoke that pipe", he was so witty and funny. I will miss that. Your niece Anna Marie Mangiarelli Hammond

Dear Auntie Lucy and Wonderful Cousins, My brother Don and I could not help but chuckle as we reminisced about Uncle Guido driving us to Connecticut and stopping at Zips for foot-long hotdogs. We remember him throwing water at us from Uncle Jimmy's well, and showing us how to use the outhouse. And we remember Uncle Guido cutting Dad's hair in the kitchen. However, when it was Uncle Guido's turn to have his hair cut, he would check to make sure Dad had his glasses on. Our Dad's most important recreation was meeting you all at Chelo's. So sad. Auntie Lucy, take care of yourself. You are the Matriarch. We love you.
