Dearest Zia Marianna and cousins, I’m saddened to hear of Zio’s passing. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
I remember a time when I lived in Sarnia and went to visit Zio and Zia for a weekend. We ate good food Zia made, prayed together and went to church before I headed home. Our visit and discussions will always remain special with me.
