Nonna Emily was a kind, loving and happy leader to our family. She had welcoming open arms to anyone she met and a handful of jellybeans to sneak into your pocket. Nonna was an inspiration to look up to and strive to be like. She went through tough times but always prevailed with a warm smile and a sparkle in her beautiful blue eyes. I am deeply saddened by her passing but have peace that she is reunited with her loved ones in heaven. We have another angel to watch over us now.
We have lost a wonderful and beautiful Aunt. There are so many memories of her throughout the years that will be instilled in our hearts forever. She was a woman who had smiles that could brighten up anyone’s day. I always looked up to her and admired her enormous strength. I learned so many of life’s lessons through her. We have lost a remarkable human being. You will be sadly missed Zia. I know you will be looking down on us as your spirit will always be with us. Rest in peace beautiful Angel.
A warm hug from Italy by Lina, Riccardo, Gaetano and Giulia for the loss of Aunt Emilia. We remember his smile and his affection that he showed us when we were in Canada a few years ago. A hug from all of us. We pray for her
