Dear Gabi, Jay, Rosie, Sandy and children & grandchildren,
I loved “Millie” so much! I will always remember her, all the visits at her house, all the “ciaccole” over coffee in the beautiful China cups, all the fittings for the many dresses, suits and gowns (especially my wedding gown!) she made for me. My heart is full of wonderful memories of Emilia and Americo and your family. ❤️ Sincere condolences from Vito, Aidan & Joseph as well.
Dear Gabriella,
Our caring thoughts and love go out to you and your family at this difficult and sad time.
Love, Jill & Gord

Dear Gabi, Jay, Sandy and Rosie and Families
Sending our love and deepest condolences to you on the passing of your beloved mom, grandmother and great grandmother. I have the fondest memories of fittings for bridesmaid dresses for my sister’s weddings and then the honour of having Emilia make my own dream bride’s dress. She will be greatly missed.
