Nonna,

Where do I even begin? It's been 7 years since you've left us. Not a single day goes by without me thinking of you. I can't say it's any easier than the first day you left. I just wish I could hug you or talk to you on the phone one more time. I wish I could let you physically meet nick, you'd love him. I wish you could meet sienna and Sophia, you would be obsessed with those funny beauties! Although your not physically here I know your with me every day. My butterfly reminds me and just seeing butterflies reminds me everyday. I love you, I miss you and I hope your resting peacefully up there!

Hi Zia, we wanted to wish you a Happy Birthday, not sure if you heard Ally yesterday but she wishes the same. I was thinking of my trip to New York and thought that kind of trip was totally your style, all lively and beautiful. Hope your well and when I say your name I feel your around. I miss you everyday and we'll have a lot to catch up on when we see you again. Love you very much. xoxox Forever Sandra

I have been thinking a lot about you. I have been using some of your purses and flashing your modern colourful style. It's always nice to feel you with me.

hi zia, i lost someone again this weekend, an old friend and now i am thinking of you. I was blessed that she was in my life, and blessed that you were.. she left a very young family and my heart is breaking but as you are now, she is in a better place and her pain has gone away.. it's selfish to be mad, but as we were not ready to lose you, we were not ready to lose her.. zia i miss you and still have your infectious laugh in my head and it's funny cause she too shared that laugh and zest of life as you did..too early you were both taken from us.. I just wanted to say hi to you and tell you that you are never too far from my thoughts.. ever.. xo!

December 30, 2012

Zia Lidia, Thinking about you on New Years , we have adjusted to not seeing you but could never forget any of the memories we have with you. I know you could here me when I speak to you, so know we'll see you again one day. By for now . Missing you Sandra , Ally , Danny and Tristan.

I will always remember all of us jammimg in the basement with whoever wanted to pick up an instrument. Instead of telling us to turn it down, she would make the best pizza in town and bring it down to us with a smile.

You will truly be missed.

I recall great memories growing up across the road from the Scolieri home. Chatting with Lidia was always entertaining. Its so sad to know your family must continue on without you...thank god for memories. My condolonces to Salvatore, Lina, Joey & Peter.

October 10, 2011

To all of you who knew Lidia - you were the lucky ones. She was one of the warmest, friendliest people I have ever met, and I cherish the time we had with her.

My favorite story...

The first time I brought my family (including my kids, who were 3 and 6 at the time) over to Joey's for one of those amazing home-cooked Italian meals, Lidia and Salvatore were so friendly, caring and loving, that my 6-year old asked me, "Are these my grandparents?" I just smiled and said, "Yeah, sort of...". The kids could feel the love that they both projected.

We will certainly miss that warmth, love, and AMAZING cooking.

My deepest condolences on the loss of your mother. Although I never knew her, I could see the legacy she's left in you, the strength, character and great sense of humor. I know your sense of loss, but I also know how incredible proud of you she must have been.

Lidia,

I can only say this because I know your son Giuseppe so well, you raised a prince of a son and that was because of the gifts that you and Salvatore gave him through your life. Your generosity and your guidance made him the man that he is.

On a side note, your cooking was THE BEST.........

Thanks for your gifts to your family, they will live well beyond your years.
