Mrs. Di Orio was a very special lady. We are very lucky that God made her a part of our lives for so many years. Now Claude and her can talk together and not just on the phone.

Nana, we will miss your smile and the sparkle in your eye. We are so thankful that Ian got to know his "Nana Grande" and that his pictures kept you company when he could not be there to brighten your day. We cherish the memories of our time with you and wish you eternal peace.

Although it was hard to see you suffer, it is even harder to lose you. We pray that you are together with Tony and Carol and the other loved ones who left us before you, and that you all are enjoying peace and happiness with our Lord. With love for our Mom and Nana.
