Hi Josie,
I’m deeply sorry for your loss and you have my greatest sympathy. Remember all the happy memories with her, and take care.
Josie, Roy, Marco & Marisa
We are so sorry for the loss of your mother and nonna. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
‘Parina’ Caruso was truly a very special lady.
She was our aunt, and my elder sister’s (Lina’s) baptismal ‘Godmother’ (‘Parina’ in the ‘Terminese’ dialect), but we all started calling her ‘Parina’ from a very young age, as if she was also our own godmother — such was our deep affection for her.
She was a most generous, friendly and kind lady — and always looking on the bright side of things.
And, she once saved me from from being trapped in a ‘chair stockade’ (Provy and Mimi will remember) when I was a very young boy.
🙂
—
So much goodness, so much love — like a second mother.
Hard to believe that she’s gone!
“Buon Riposo, Parina!”
“Ti volemo tutti tanto bene!!”
Our deepest condolences to all of you for the loss of your mother/Nonna.
May she rest in eternal peace.
Hugs, Cecilia and Nino Indovina
Our deepest condolences to the entire family. We wish you comfort and strength during this difficult time.
Love Rosemary, Robert, Luca and Madison.
I am saddened by the loss of my aunt, Zia Vicenzina. I will never forget when I arrived in Canada in 1968, leaving my hometown of Termini Imerese, Sicily. Zia Vincenzina took me into her home, I was treated with the most highly respect. I will never forget her hard work, working in a family owned business seven days a week, at the same time taking care of her immediate family and I. I will never forget the great meals she made, doing my laundry and taking care of me, just like my own mother. We went on many outings celebrating many occasions all together, the family and I. I am going to miss our occasional phone calls and visits. Zia Vincenzina will be forever missed in my heart, with love Cosimo and Family!
So sorry for your loss Josie. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. God Bless.
My deepest sympathy and heart-felt condolences to Provi, Mimi, Josie and your families on the loss of your dear Mother. I will treasure the fond memories I have of Zia Vincenzina. She was a lovely woman who will be deeply missed. May loving memories bring you peace, comfort and strength. My prayers are with you and your families.
