I had the privilege of caring for Peter while he was at Villa Scalabrini, and in the process, I came to know Eleanor very well. She was a wonderful woman. She talked about all of her kids and grandkids all of the time. She always told me to visit her, and I am sorry to say that I never got the chance. I was browsing through the newspaper, and came across her name, and I was so shocked to see, but she is with Peter now, and I have complete faith that they are keeping each other happy up there too. To June, I am pretty sure you do not remember me, but I remember seeing you at Villa when you would come to visit and pick your mom up: I am so sorry for your loss, and you are in my prayers.
Sincerely,
Michelle Cuicio
P.S. I was a CNA at Villa on Unit C.

I am so sorry to hear of my great-aunt's death. She was a lovely person and helped me so much with my passion for family history research. I am sure her and Uncle Pete will share a wonderful Thanksgiving together in Heaven.
