You were the most loving grandmother any grandchild could ever have. Thankfully God has given me a good memory so I am able to recall a lot of good times we spent together. Its as if it were yesterday you were asking us to go downstairs and bring up what we wanted to drink which was either Coke or Ginger Ale and it was almost time to put in the pasta and you would ask us to come over to the cupboard and pick out which kind. (I always ended up grabbing a handful of Wheat thins on the way out.) Lunch was almost ready, so we sat down at the kitchen table adjusting the curtains because of how much sun was blasting in snacking on some meat, cheese and bread before we enjoyed the best pasta sauce anyone could possibly make. It seemed like no one had as much love to give as you Nonna. Thats probably why everything you made taste so good; and not just your pasta sauce. For generations you will remain a legend for your cooking and baking alone.
Even though it wasnt that funny back then; my sister and I miss-behaving under you care some may rule with an Iron Fist Nonna she ruled with a wooden spoon and if she wasnt holding it in her hand to stir sauce well we knew just to start running. I remember staying with Nonna a lot as a kid there was not many toys to play with but we somehow managed to keep busy. I remember I would go out with Nonna to her backyard as she was hanging clothes on the clothesline; she would be cursing out all the cats that had gotten in her yard. No one could swear at the television like Nonna either...no one disliked commercials as much as her. She used to say Ma-keep-quiet or just simply Ma shut-up-a I remember she faithfully loved General Hospital and Another world she would get mad at what was happening on the show and say something like Stat-azite a Chocolone Later I found out it was slang in Italian for Shut-up you talk too much.
I never met Nonno but I have been told that he had a bubbly personality much similar to Zia Rita. I look forward to meeting you one day Nonno. No doubt his passing must have been hard on the whole family as it is now as we celebrate your life Nonna. Even though you were without your husband, you never re-married. Your will to keep your family together was strong, and your relationship with God even stronger. You are now after over 40 years reunited with your husband as a wife, parents, and grandparents forever watching over us until we all too are reunited. I especially want to thank you Nonna for teaching us to keep our faith and to not fear being alone.
God rest your soul Nonna! In my heart the memories we shared will remain!!

I know you miss your Mom; but I know its only an interruption and you will see her again and may that give you peace and anticipation. Thank God for the wonderful years and memories you have of her. Rita you did your best, you were a wonderful daughter & may you enjoy Gods richest blessing until you see your Mom again. Do not worry I left God a message to let Sonja my Mom welcome Luisa at the Pearly Gates!

Hi Dean,
I’m sorry to hear about your Nonna. It’s one of those sad parts of our lives, that as we grow older, so do our elders. I hope she is having a great view from up there…dancing with your Nonno and sipping wine amongst the clouds.
