Very special and appreciated aunt to many nieces and nephews in Windsor and Italy. "During my entire life, my mother was my best friend and was always very lovingly wise, gentle, kind and considerate. Even in her silence in the last years, her eyes and smile would help me through my saddest times. Now she is my Guardian Angel. To my family and special friends for being by my side during the most painful time of my life, may they all be blessed by God. Heartfelt thanks to Antonietta, Aunt Helen and Sandra for taking special care of me during the past days. Mille Grazie to Tony Litteri for his kindness and friendship; and deepest gratitude to all at Huron Lodge who truly "saw" Liliana and for making it a little easier to leave her in their care during the past 10 years." As an expression of sympathy, donations to In Honour of the Ones We Love would be sincerely appreciated to help in the fight for cancer care and any other life threatening illness.
