Dear Claudia and Hank, Donna and I are so sad to learn that your mom has died. She was always a wonderful aunt to me and with total devotion and love for my mom. I have nothing but fond memories of ''GagnneTizie''. I think she was in the room when I was born. I know she watched over me constantly back in Rivignano. I fondly recall when she would send me, a six year old, to the tobacco shop to buy her two cigarettes. It felt good to be able to make her happy that way. I now hope that with the passing of time you will be able to let her sufferings go and remember instead how much she loved you, and all the good times you had with her. I will remember her as a passionate woman who was kind and deeply committed to family. With lots of love, Frank
