Sending all my loving condolences from me and my family. Zia Lina ,we all called her, was a very sweet, loving, caring woman. I have great childhood memories of her and all her family. The memories live on forever.
It is with a heavy heart to hear about the passing of Lina. Growing up on Giltspur, I’ve known the Spadafora family all my life. She was an amazing woman with a big heart and the most beautiful smile. I pray for peace and comfort for the whole family during these difficult times. May her soul be at peace as she will never be forgotten.
