Love you Aunt Santina! We always had so much fun whatever we were doing together...especially cooking and eating! One of the best memories is the annual "Pitta Fests" and the playful banter among all of us while making the pitta. Thank you for all that you taught us and the love and support you gave us. Un abbraccio forte to my dear Uncle John and Cugini. Sharing in your sorrow and sending abundant love. xo Sylvia

The years of our life are fleeting. Without intervention, we would all say goodbye to those we love, or they would say goodbye to us. Wonderfully, God has promised to intervene. “With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” (Revelation 21:3, 4) God will destroy death and remove the pain it has caused by restoring those who have died back to life. Yes, it will be like he wiped the tears from our eyes, when we are reunited with those we love. I am very sorry for your loss.
