Sorry to hear about both of your parents. Even though we only got together a few times, it's like we knew them our whole life. They were wonderful people . We are so proud of our Italian heritage. I'm just sorry to say I've only met you (their children) only once. Take care,
Carl's daughter, Cindy

Lillian was my great aunt - my grandfather was Carl Melchiorri. I have fond memories of Lillian and Rosalie from my childhood and even though we didn't get to spend much time together due to the geographic distance between us, I still felt them close to my heart. I will always love Lillian. Everyone that met her felt the warmth of her spirit. I would love to get in contact with cousins I do not know, so please feel free to contact me if you are a relative.
