Julia Messina

RIP JULIA. We will never forget you!

Uncle Pete,
We are deeply saddened by the loss of Aunt Julie. As you grieve, know that we are remembering you and honoring her memory. We are thinking of you and have been praying for you in this difficult time. With heartfelt condolences, Ann and John Messina

This is the eulogy that I delivered for my mother, Julia Messina, on February 8, 2007.

I am the daughter of Peter and Julia Messina. My name is Elizabeth Ann Sweedo. I have many first hand memories of my mother, where she was already an adult, like teaching me to knit, baking dozens of Gingerbread Men cookies at Christmas time, and going to many museums, libraries, and zoos. But, I would like to tell you two stories that my mother told me about her childhood. I have chosen them...
