Nick, I am sorry for your Loss. May you find peace in your memories. RIP
Cristina and Family,
My heart goes out to you and your family during this very difficult time. My memories of Silvana are from our Ryerson years, when she would drive Cris and I home from school after she finished a long day at work herself. There would always be a pit stop in between, whether it was Winners (Cristina’s request) or the fresh bagel shop. She was nothing but a gentle, caring and loving woman. It was evident how much she adored her family and would go great lengths to meet all their needs.
Silvana may you RIP and suffer no more. May your memories live on through your dear husband Nick, your two remarkable children David and Cristina, as well as through your beautiful grandchildren, and soon to be grandchild. Wishing you eternal peace in the Kingdom of Heaven as you reunite with family and old friends.
Until next time, but for now, spread your wings and fly and know you are loved and missed by so many people down on earth.
Our heartfelt condolences go out to the Di Benedetto, Mossa and Giaimo families.
We are so sorry for your loss.
Love, Nick and Mirella Bianchi
