Lena and Louis (I remember you as "brother"),
I am late to this...I hope you get this. I have held Gia in my heart for 45 years. I met her in '66, when she was performing with your father. She was a lovely lady then, and we spent some nice times together.

To Gia's Family. My husband and I had the pleasure of speaking to Gia a few times. We purchased her home in Island Heights back in 2006. She was kind and excited for us. She told us that every night when we went to sleep we were sleeping with the angels. I thought about her alot at night remembering what she told us. She sounded like she really loved our home and sent us a beautiful card and letter after we closed. We are truly sorry for your loss and now we have another angel. RIP Gia

Dear dear Lena, Louie ,Jr. and Tim,
I just today heard about your Mother. My heart and prayers are with you. You and Louie have done a wonderful job of keeping your dad's memory alive. I know Mia was so proud of you for that. Thanks for keeping ,those days alive for us old folks as well. We'll never enjoy the entertainment of that era again. But as Bob Hope said, " Thanks for the memories" R.I.P. sweet Mia and make music in Heaven, once again with Louis.

Lena, my sympathies to you and all the
Prima family at this time of loss. I knew your mother from when I lived in the Trenton, New Jersey area before moving to Las Vegas, Nevada. With much love always. MARCY FERRI.
