Dear Auntie,
The silence is loud as I wait for a call from you. Who will counsel, advise and compliment me. Memories of you will endure forever.
Love, Mary Ann

Auntie, you do know that by leaving us, all of your niece's have now become the 'Old Aunts'. We'll miss you, and will always remember the love and caring interest you had in us all. Give our love to all the "LUCIA SISTERS".

Josie, my long-time friend. It's hard for me to believe that I won't see you when I go back home. I remember the many times we shared life with each other...what a support you were. Now I know that you are in the presence of the GOOD GOD who loved you and carried you through life for 83 years. That brings consolation to me as well as knowing that now I have you as an intercessor in heaven for me. THANK YOU! Sister Alice

My grandma was a beautiful and loving person. She gave so much love away and you could always count on hugs and kisses from her all the time. She made you feel like some sort of genius, too, as if everything you did was an act of brilliancy. It's hard to see that she's really passed away, and I'll miss her terribly. I'm proud of our family and how we came together last week, which was another wonderful gift that our Josie gave to us. I'll love her forever. (^_^)

Aunty was truly the Godmother of this wonderful Italian family. She kept us bound by her love for each one of us. What a gift. We should be charged with continuing this legacy and staying in touch so that our rich Italian heritage does not die. She was quite the lady and she will be missed. We love you, Aunty. Sue

My Dear Mexican Jumping Bean:
Last month when we went to the mall, we bought 2 Macadamia Nut Cookies......one for each of us. I broke mine in half so I could eat half now and half later. You quickly gobbled your cookie down in a red-hot minute......and, then looked longingly at mine. But, I said NO.........I was not sharing mine (you could have eaten yours more slowly, you know. You remind me very often that your mother always told you you were "the besta one"........and that I...

Thank you, Auntie, for your childlike joy and love of God. I know that He's having a big party to welcome you home. Keep in touch with us.......watch over us. We love you very much and we will miss you in our daily lives, but you have left a legacy like no other and now it's our turn to "pass it on."

We will remember you with each new day, but never forget all the love, joy, kindness and good that you brought to our lives. You are truly one in a million. We love you!
