Ciao Zia … te lo dico in Italiano perchè questo tu sei e sei sempre stata. Sei stata una grandissima zia, sempre presente e non ci credo ancora di non poterti più vedere sullo schermo del computer. Hai sempre avuto buone parole per me. E ti ho sempre sentita vicina, anche se eravamo così lontani. So quante cose hai fatto per lo zio John. Siete stati una bella famiglia “furlana”. Ti porto con me. Grazie. Tony .. tuo nipote.
Dear Alex, Gail, Christopher & Alexandra, our family sends our deepest condolences. Bruna was always so kind and caring. Always there to offer food and hospitality. We are here for you if you need anything at all.
Our deeest condolences to the Aitoro family. It was with great sadness and shocking to hear the passing of Bruna. Being our neighbor of 40+ years, she’s like a part of our family. She’s always a kind-hearted, generous, and a genuine lady.
Bruna, we’ll miss you!
Until we meet again, goodbye for now!
We’ll continue our prayers for the repose of your soul.
Mandy Bruna… comme on dit au revoir dans le Friul

We belonged to the same Friuli clan and we are related somewhere. We rarely saw each other, but I cared and liked her so much. She was a great spirit and I will miss her. Bon voyage my dear Bruna.
