Words cannot adequately express how saddened we are to hear of the passing of Aurora. She is fondly remembered for her loving smile, warmth and generosity to everyone she came in contact with, making everyone feel special and welcomed, especially through her uncanny memory of a birthday, anniversary or some other special event in our lives. The times we spent together in Florida hold a special place in our hearts, from the meals to the shopping expeditions we shared together. She was our GPS, never needing a map to where we needed to go.
There is no one like Aurora–her kindness and genuine care for humanity stands out like no other, especially when it came to her family. It was clear from the look in her eyes how much she cherished and was proud of her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Her loss will undoubtedly be felt by everyone who was fortunate enough to know and love her but it will be the beautiful memories we have of her that will continue to keep her spirit in our hearts.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Frank and family during this very difficult time.
To Frank and family:
The death of my dear friend and beloved Aurora has left a huge hole in my heart. She was the most caring and thoughtful person who was always there to lend a helping hand. The fondest memories I have of the times we shared together from the moment I came to Canada to marry her cousin will be cherished forever. She welcomed me with open arms from Day 1 and we became the best of friends. I will miss her dearly but have some comfort in knowing that she is in peace and will be reunited with her loved ones who passed before her.
May God bring you comfort during this time of sorrow. Please accept my deepest sympathies and know that my prayers are with you now and always.
Dear Lina and Emilio and Family,
Our deepest sympathy. Our prayers are with you and your entire family. May her memory live on in your hearts.

Dear Frank and family,
My deepest condolences to all of you during this time. Aurora has and always will be special to me as a foundational figure in my life. I have so many cherished childhood memories in your home during our Summer trips. I am now 45, but only ever known or met one Aurora in my life, and I must believe God did this for a reason. Her name invokes love, family, and sacrifice to me. She lived for her family and always did what was needed. I am so grateful on our last trip she met my son. Food was an expression of her love whether it was chocolate chip cake, cookies etc… and I wish my wife could have learned from the best. I will fondly remember how she would finally indulge me as a kid with a dance in the kitchen…
Mike Murphy and Family

Aunt Aurora was truly one of a kind. We are so grateful for all the time we spent with her (including all those special years in Florida with her and uncle Frank!).
Hosting Christmas and Easter for the growing family more times than we can count, was a wonderful gift to us all. She kept her family together through her selfless acts of kindness and generosity.
Her food was her love and it was always in abundance.
We are truly blessed to have been part of her life.
Even though we can no longer see her, we know she will forever be watching over us and taking care of us, as she has always done.
Aunt Aurora will be in our hearts and memories forever.
Love, Eugene, Lisa, Julia and Vanessa

Frank, Lina, Tony, Rosemary and families,……We are heartbroken of the passing of our dear, sweet, and loving “Aurora”
She was truly one of a kind. As everyone mentioned, her selfless ways of always doing and providing for her family and friends and anyone else she met, took precedence over her own needs and wants, one of her many outstanding traits.
The relationship and love she had with my mother Adriana (her cousin), we more like sisters to one another. Although distance seperated them they had a very close and loving relationship, which we will always cherish.
Her uncanny way of being able to remember dates of everyone’s Birthday, Anniversary, special occasions or events was unremarkable! Truly a special gift she had, and she was truly a special gift to all of us who were lucky enough to know this remarkable woman.
“Aurora” ….When we look up in the sky, we will know that the brightest star shinning will be you shinning down on all of us!
We love you, we’ll miss you and you’ll be forever in our hearts!
Much Love….Adriana Cavaleri, Lina & Luigi, Gina & Enzo
