Now you have flown to heaven in the house of Jesus and have become a wonderful angel who will watch over your loving family and us. Memories will be a precious gift to always have you in my thoughts.

    Cara zia Pina,ogni parola o pensiero che vorrei dedicarti non è mai abbastanza per te.Sei stata una dolce e cara zia!Tu e zio Mario mi avete dato tanto amore fin da bambina.Le nostre videochiamate le iniziavi con "Ciao bella!"e le terminavi con "Ti voglio bene.Dio ti benedica!"Mi manchera’ la tua dolcezza e l’amore che sapevi comunicarmi con quella luce che illuminava i tuoi occhi.Zia Pina abbraccia e dai un bacio alla Mia Mamma .Ora potrai dirle quanto mi manca! Zia mia ti portero’ per sempre nel cuore.Ti voglio tantissimo bene!❤

    We will miss Pina. She always had a beautiful smile when we visited with her. What a wonderful example of hospitality she always showed to her family, friends and neighbors. We are thankful that Pina is no longer in pain and is now in perfect health.
