SANTORO (Carmela):
Zia, each one of us has received gifts from you; your wisdom, embraces, smiles, encouragement and your different view of life or a problem. Your last gift was your quiet enduring strength. You never shut your love away, no matter how sick you were. Your pain is now spent, but your example lives on with us. We miss you already.
Rosanna and Paul, Cassandra and Alex, Lauren and Andreas, and Benjamin.

Mum, I cannot describe what a privilege it is to be your daughter. We shared many personal moments that I will never forget and will cherish always. You were still thinking of others until the end. Love you forever, Rosalba.

Santoro ( Carmela):
Melitta cara, tu eri per me, amore, felicita e richezza. Ora che sei andata, felicita e richezza sono andate, e rimasto solo l'amore che restera nel mio cuore finche vivo. Ti ho visto soffrire in questo periodo del male che avevi. Ho pianto e pregato il buon Dio notte e giorno e continuoro a piangere fino quando saro con te di nuovo. Ti ho amato e ti amero fino a l'ultimo palpito del mio cuore. Riposa in pace e a presto. Tuo Salvatore.
Melitta, my darling, for me you were love, happiness and wealth. Now that you are gone, the happiness and wealth are gone. What's left is the love that rests in my heart whilst I am alive. I saw you suffering during this time from the sickness that you had. I've cried and prayed to the good Lord night and day. I will continue to cry till it's time for me to be with you again. I love you and will continue to love you to the last beat of my heart. Rest in peace until we meet again.
Yours, Salvatore.
