    I’m so sorry for your loss. I wanted to come but work delayed my departure and now the weather is worse and it’s also rush hour. Who knows how long it will take me. I had every intention of coming tonight. I remember fondly my childhood and interactions with Phillipo, Lina, all the kids, Jackette, jusupina as well as my parents. Although this must be a terrible time for you all I’m hoping There is life after death and those that have passed on are wopping it up and having a party with Philipo.

    Dear Zia Lina, I will always be grateful for what Zio Filippuccio did for me, I will always have him in my heart. Even in an ocean set us apart, we always shared the same blood and the same name and I always thought of all of you.
    I wish I could meet him one last time before this terrible news, his memory will always be with me.
    Filippo
