My Dearest Zia Pina,
I will forever remember the sound of your voice, the coziness of your kitchen, and the love you always showed; especially for my brother.
Say hi to my Dad for me; he’ll be so happy to see you!
Cara Zia Pina,
She was part of my childhood as we were dropped off each morning at 22 Allendale. Eddie & I would then head off to school. Then go back to after school. Nonna , uncle Mike as we’re part of the house. My cousins Franca, Susie and Sammy. Her famous Pitta pizza. You’ll be missed but not forgotten. Rest In Peace Zia
Franka and family,
Our sincere sympathy on the passing of your Mother.
We know how dearly your Mother was loved. The many times you were there to visit; to spend meal time with her; to ensure that her every care and comfort was provided and to visit during Covid 19 at a distance.
She is at peace now. Amen.
Our sincerest condolences to the whole family. The loss of a parent is never easy, take comfort in the fact the suffering is over and she is at peace in heaven. My mom, Vittoria, my husband Rocco and I are very sorry for your loss.
Our deepest condolences to the family during your time of grief. We Fondly remember Comare Pina and know she is now reunited with loved ones that have passed before.
One of the most endearing things about my grandmother was the way she never got any of our names right. It’s ok to feel nostalgic about this, because it had nothing to do with her dementia later on in life. This was just a classic Nonna characteristic. She’d cycle through the entire list of grandchildren names until arriving at yours. “Christi—Deann—Cariss—Stefan—Sale—CARINA!” I always enjoyed this about her. It was unique to her.
To my Zia Pina,
May you rest in eternal peace with Zio Turi, Nonna, and my dad. Thank you for all the loving memories of my childhood. Watching me after school and opening your home to my parents as newlyweds. Give my dad a hug from me.
My most sincere condolences to my cousins Franca, Susie, and Sam.
I pray you find comfort knowing she is no longer suffering and is welcomed into Heaven with her cherished family ❤️
We are very sorry to hear about Pina’s passing. Our hearts go out to the family. We are very sorry for your loss.
May God bless and strengthen you each and every day.
