Dear Mary and Joe and Theresa and Sam, and the rest of the Family, please accept our deepest condolences on the passing of our Precious Zia Cecella. Her humor and her smileandthe love she gave will be missed by all. But do not mourn for her but rejoice in the fact that she is finally at peace and is reunited with her loved ones Uncle Andy, her parents, her sisters, who have passed before her, Uncle Ralph and all of her other relatives and friends, whom she has missed over the years. I am very childlike in that respect, in that I do believe that they are all together up their having a gay old time and now it will be even more enjoyable with Zia up their to entertain them all. I know that my Parents will be happy to see her, they so enjoyed her company on their many trips to Toronto.
You all did all you could for her during the good times and the bad times. I remember at Rosalie's wedding and how proud the Queen was as she was wheeled down the aisle and then at the reception dancing in her wheelchair with all of us. What a Memory to cherish!!
So now it is time to take care of yourselves and to go forward. Talk to her often because she will hear you. There is a line in the movie "Ghost" the line is "the love, you take it with you" so now she will be always loving you and watching over you and all of us.
We Love You.
Love Cookie, Peter and Joseph
