Our hearts and prayers are with you and your family. Zia Cecilia had a beautiful heart and soul. She most definitely is in the perfect place in heaven with your dad and mama and papa. We loved her and always would think of her when we talked about the good times when we were young and had our big Italian parties. I wish we could have one of those days again but we will all meet again! Love Tina and all of us here in North Carolina. Zio Guido is too frail to fly or make the drive but he is praying for all of you. Love the Messore’s and Dadio’s
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We are so sorry for your loss. May she rest in peace.
