Please know that I am thinking of you all at this sad time in your lives. Your Mother, Grandmother, and Great Grandmother was a special lady. Aunty Lu was strong, compassionate, loyal, with a wonderful sense of humor. She loved to watch her sister play the accordian as they would tell each other stories of their friendship and what they had done in their younger years. May you find peace to know just how much she loved you all. Aunty Lu found such happiness in talking to me about how great you all are. May the Lord shine down on your lives and give you the strength that Aunty Lu had to endure with dignity. God be with you all. Roberta Tambascia
