I was so sorry to hear the news. I have so many great memories of going to 'auntie Ida's and Uncle Johnny's' and sitting at the long long table and eating the most fabulous food. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Dearest cousins - My deepest condolences. I am thinking of you all on this day and am so sorry I could not be there to attend the funeral and celebrate your mom's amazing life. She was the BEST zia and the best cook - did she ever tell the secret lasagna recipe? I was truly blessed to have had her in my life. I have so many wonderful memories and wish I could have seen her more in the past couple years. Big hugs to you all xoxo

Hello Maureen -
Have been away for a week and just learned today of your mother's passing. What a grand lady - and so much fun!

Didn't we all love going to Nonna's house? She has left a wonderful legacy of family and friends and taught us all that there is always room for one more.
Sending love to all her family as you grieve and celebrate her life.
