I'm so sorry to learn about Tillie's death... She was a first cousin to me - Her mother, Elvira Dorio and my father, George Codiano (Codianni) were brother and sister. And I remember our big family reunions way back in the 1950s. I always thought Tillie was the most beautiful woman and admired her happy spirit inspite of her handicap. Also sorry to learn that her daugher, Jean, passed away not long ago, too. It's been a very long time since I had seen either of them..but my memories from those days linger on. My condolences to the family. Tina Codiano Fellin - Seattle, WA
