Nonna I miss you so much!! Everyday just seems to get harder. I know how much you suffered and I prayed everyday that nonno was there for you when it was your time.

Even tough I spent lots of time with you now it seems like it was never enough.

I'm so happy you got to meet Adriano before you left and I wish every second that I was there when you took your last breath. I wanted to hold you and tell you how much I was going to miss you.

You are the most amazing nonna anyone could ever wish for and I hope now you are finally free from suffering and reunited with nonno after 30 long years.

Who is going to teach my kids to make paper dolls and draw fish swimming in the ocean!

I miss watching you put on 5 layers of close in the dead of winter, only to go out and "have just a puff" of a cigarette.

My most amazing childhood memories are with you and nonno.

I will never forget you and will hold you forever in my heart, until we meet again xoxoxod forever
