To The Martorana Family,

Our deepest condolences from

The Boyd-Panciera Family.

I am so honored to have had the chance to meet you. You quickly took hold of my heart. Your family is beautiful and I thank all of you for allowing me to be part of such a delicate time. Love and hugs to everyone.

Cara zia, prego che tu abbia già rivisto tua madre, tuo padre e tuo fratello, e che tutti quelli che ci hanno preceduti ti abbiano accolta con gioia al cospetto dell’Altissimo.

Prego Maria Immacolata di consolare tuo marito, i tuoi figli e nipoti, i tuoi fratelli e tutti noi nipoti della tua grande mancanza.

Réquiem aetérnam dona eis, Dómine: et lux perpetua luceat eis.

Requiéscant in pace.

Amen.

Such a great loss! She was a beautiful person inside and out. She made us all laugh with her funny jokes. Always cheerful and full of life. We’ll miss her, but we’ll always remember her. Riposa in Pace, Signora Tanina.

Dear Cathy,

I’m so sorry for the loss of your mother. May her memory be eternal.

Cathy, Nino, Joe and Tony,

I am glad I had the opportunity to meet mom before things turned. She was incredibly strong and I am sure she is so very proud and thankful for all of you. Watching the way you cared for her was admirable and heartfelt! My sincerest condolences.

Beloved Zia Tanina, your love, your smiles, your kind words, your friendly and welcoming disposition, your generosity so full of meanings and depth were never er to me. I miss you immensely, I mia granted thing…

You were naturally loving but also you never allowed difficult times in your life to make you bitter or angry at others, instead you chose to be a better and more beautiful person than you already were. This was so noble of you. In your hardest time you welcomed me in your home, like your own daughter.. You cried with me every night when I mssed Italy, in your kitchen and you comforted me.

You were like a mothss calling you from New York, listening to you talking about all of your grandchildren. I miss you telling me to be strong and have faith. I miss you calling me GIOIAMIA.

Thank you Zia Tanina for have given me the opportunity to give you back all the beautiful things you gave me: simply LOVE.

Ti voglio bene Gioiamia. Forever.
