I was saddened to see that Mrs. B. had passed. What a kind, sweet heart she and Mr. B. had and they passed that on to their family. It's not often you meet such beautiful, kind people as the Bottazzi family. You were all such a light in my life when things were tough. Thank you so much for being there for Miranda and me.

I can’t believe my lovely Grandma B, was taken away from us . We will miss her.. but her spirit and strength, lives on in each of us and in the lives that she touched. She lives on in me and in all those who have been touched by the love, strength, conviction, wisdom, and beauty of her soul.
Love you grandma – You truly were a special, special woman! You may have passed on, but your memories would always live on within us. Thank you for your sacrifices, your care and concern, your love and everything that you have done for me, Jimmy & my family. Wherever you are, I know you are in a much better place. I will be forever grateful and thankful that you are my ‘grandmother’.
Rest in Peace Grandma...we will never forget you and
we will
always love you forever...
