I miss Auntie Sylvia. All my aunts and uncles (and parents) are gone, and it's sad. We grew up in a great family that has shaped my life and the lives of my children, as I pass on the traditions. God bless Auntie Sylvia and all those who loved her.

I just got back from RI/MA last evening, having spent a few days with Donna at her parents' home helping with their fall cleaning. I always have special thoughts for all my family when I'm in RI, and I was thinking of all the Paliottis. God bless Auntie Sylvia, Uncle Frank, and all our awesome relatives who raised us so well.

To my dear cousins Linda, Paula, Jane, and Susan. I am so sorry to hear that Aunt Sylvia has passed. I think it is more than coincidence that she passed on the same day as my Dad (Oct 22). I see that as an indication that Brother and Sister have been reunited, and I am confident they are enjoying a huge, Italian feast in the banquet that has been prepared for them in heaven. God bless you all. (Cousin John)
