Dear Felicia, Angela, Rosa and sons, I was saddened to hear of the death of your precious mother and grandmother. She was the family's rock...a hard working, patient, caring and attentive wife, mom and nonna. She now joins her husband and son in Heaven. I heard many stories about Porzia's expertise as a seamstress, among her many other creative talents, and her frustration at not being able to enjoy applying those skills as illness took over in her later years. However, not only will you be comforted by your happy memories of her but also by the items she so carefully crafted for you. Please accept sincere condolences from myself and my family for the loss of your mother and grandmother. May Porzia rest in peace. Rose Donato and family.
