What can one say about this great lady? I have been part of this family for 12 years and in all that time she has made me feel so welcome. She always called me Bella. It made me feel so special and good about myself. She will be deeply missed and not ever forgotten. We will always love her and remember her fondly. We know that she is riposa in pace with the Lord and his son Jesus in heaven. We know we have a special angel looking out for all of us. Noi ti amiamo, Bella Nonna. Ciao Bella Nonna.

We are all sad at the loss of our Bella Nonna, the most wonderful lady that ever lived. She had a heart of gold and a kind soul. She never had an unkind word for anyone. We will always remember her in our hearts.
