Mario and Grazia, James and I send love to you both and our deepest sympathies at the loss of your mother, Wanda. I'll always remember being treated like kings by your Mom during our band rehearsals at your house - pasta lunches & suppers, tons of cookies and endless pots of tea! And she put up with our racket!! A very special woman...
much love always

Please accept my sincere condolences on the loss of Wanda. She was my neighbour & friend for 8 years & I had many a good conversation & meal with her on Viger. My daughter Sierra still talks about her tortellini rose many years later.
