My grandmother passed the next day but Nonna's love for me that day brings me to tears even now. Donata was a special woman and all who knew her were blessed.

Donata,
You were my grandmother (Carmella Leone's) best friend. You two are now reunited in such a wonderful place. I remember being younger and my mom would take me to your house to visit you or you would come to our house for cofee. May you rest in peace.

Aunt Donata,
You are finally at rest. You looked so beautiful and so peaceful in your final resting place. My memories will last a life time. Your photos remain a treasure to me and my children. You are now with Uncle Dan, my Mom, Eddie and Uncle Jimmy and many other loved ones who have gone before you.
Love your niece, Rosemarie

Aunt Donata,
With fondness I remember coming to your house. The hole in the ground we weren't supposed to play with (but always did). The cooking - and of course the pizza ordering. "Just get-a a whole bunch-o-da pizzas - I no cook like I used to, I'm getting too old you know. Buy 4 you geta one free". I hope you are ache-free, pain-free and happy. Say hi to Uncle Eddie for me!
You will be missed but the stories will go on forever.
