Aunt Gloria,
I will always remember all the times we spent together laughing and telling stories. The love and support that I received from you and Uncle Steve is priceless to me. Though the times we saw each other were too few and far between you were always in my thoughts. I miss you dearly.

Nonni how I loved all our trips to Chatham and the penny candy shop. Our sleepovers on Saturdays. I am lucky to be your granddaughter, thank you for allowing me to be by your side till the end. Especially the very special smile you gave me right before your journey. I will treasure you always. Say hi to Nonno for me. Tell him Ding how, Hubba how, boo how. If you find a way to send us a message with the recipe to the spaghetti sauce we would all love it!
