Aunt Pia's kindness and love to all of the children in our family was boundless. Any visit to the Cape included time spent in Pia's kitchen, or on the back steps of her cottage. From my own memories of running back and forth from Nana's to Pia's, to watching my children walking back from a visit with Pia toting Hoodies in hand, our lives are richer because of our beloved Pia. May peace surround her now.
