I am sorry to hear of the passing of Nonna.
I remember my girls going over Salina's house and making sure they made time to have a tea party with Nonna.
She was a beautiful woman and lived a full life.
God bless her and may she peacefully rest in the hands of the Lord.
All my love to the family,
Sandra Quaranta-Guido
