Cesca my friend from Lamaz class 22 years ago, I am so sorry for your loss. You invited my son Edward Michael and me into your beautiful family and we were blessed to know and love your parents calling them Nanu and Nana. We broke bread, which your dad made from scratch, shared holidays, birthdays and family gatherings, something the Belleci family has a fine gift for. Thank you for sharing your mother with us. She was a kind, fun-loving, giving, loving woman that will be missed greatly. My heart goes out to you all, Steve, Andy and Terry, Sal, Cesca and Charlie all your children and grandchildren with much love.
