Cara Mamma,
Tu sei sempre nel mio quore.
spero che' nel tuo cammino con Gesu' vedrai quando la tua famighia che' e' rimasta qui' ti voleva bene.
Ce' un grande vuoto nel mio cuore, che' nessuna persona puo' riempire. Ti reingrazio molto per essere mia mamma, non ti scordero mai.

Arrivedrci Mamma. It will be an empty and senseless world without you, a world that will need a lot of adjusting for all of us. You covered a lot of ground and the emptyness will never be filled.
I pray that the good and grascious God will take you into his arms, and keep you until we shall all meet again. Your loving son-in-law, Alfredo
