Dearest Bruna and family, our very heart felt condolences to you and your family on the loss of you dear mother. I thought of a lovely poem: She was beautiful: but not like those girls in magazines. She was beautiful, for the way she thought. She was beautiful, for the sparkle in her eyes when she talked about something she loved. She was beautiful, for the her ability to make other people smile, even if she was sad. No, she wasn’t beautiful for something as temporary as her looks. She was beautiful, deep down to her soul. She is beautiful. – F. Scott Fitzgerald
May she rest in peace.
Lots of love and hugs, hope you can feel them.
Thank you for your heart felt thoughtfulness.😘🙏🏼
Dear Irene, Bruna and Leo,
Our deepest condolences to you all and all your families. Zia Elsa was a great and loving lady. When Rico and I were young and our family would visit most weekends, she would make us always feel welcomed. If Rico or I weren’t feeling well, she would make rice soup for us. I remember her always laughing. Great lady, great heart. With all of our love,
Rico, Christopher, Ray and Joanne

Mommy; Today was so difficult. I miss you sooooooo much. I can’t wait to see you tomorrow. My Beautiful mom who gave up her life for her family. You worked so hard. You came home to be the best housewife, mother, Grandmother. You did everything, from digging to drilling. You never backed down. You are my inspiration. Never showed how you suffered.
We butt heads a lot, but I realize how we share a lot in common.
Ma, mi Manchi ❤️ Ti voglio renderti orgoglioso.🦋Baccioni 😘a 🥰Mamma e Pappa 😇🙏🏼😘
