Thank you Nonna for being part of my life, I am grateful to be your grandson, your life is an inspiration to me, your hardworking attitude, your unconditional love and care that I always received, and every little lesson you have taught me. I am also grateful that Uncle Frank and Toti were always by your side, our beautiful memories will live on for a lifetime. It is comforting to know that you were always accompanied by someone that loved you be it Frank, Antonietta, Giovanna or Mary. Thank you.
