Dear Dario, Jerry and families.
Your mom (and dad) will forever be etched in my memories. It was a special occasion when we got to visit with “Lidia di Toronto.”
Always a delight to be around, your mom had a spirit and a light about her that were unparalleled. Her strong, confident voice, her meaningful, thoughtful words, the neverending deep love for her family are some of the things I will always keep with me. May you find peace in knowing how much she loved you all, and how respected and loved she was by we who knew her. Thank you for allowing the broadcast of her funeral. It was lovely.
Our sincere condolences on the loss of Lidia. She will be missed by all of us. We are sorry that we couldn’t make it to the service but we followed it on line.
Lidia and all of you are in our thoughts.
Dario. So sorry to hear of your mom’s passing. Condolence’s to all your loved ones.
Dario and Jerry. I just heard of your mother’s passing. My deepest condolences to you all.
Daniela Longo and family
