So sorry for your loss. May the God of true hope (Hosea 13:14) and all comfort be with you during this difficult time

I went to Montessori School in 1978-79 and 1979-80. Maurizio and Vittoria rode the school bus and I remember them both very well. Maurizio used to stick up for me when his friends teased me, even if he didn't understand what caused them to tease me. He was a very nice boy. I hadn't seen him since then but from what I read, he grew to be a very nice gentleman and I am sorry I did not know him as an adult. Thanks for sticking up for me, Maurizio. I know a little bit of Italian from enjoying Handel's operas, and musical terms. My favorite musical terms are "vivace" and "subito". Molto grazie for being so nice, Maurizio. Arrivederci.
