Mamma, I miss and love you more than words can express. I will forever cherish the love and memories we shared. I miss your beautiful blue eyes, smile, laughter, and great sense of humour. Your commitment, devotion, and generosity to your family will forever be remembered. I will hold on to our wonderful memories including all the times we cooked, baked, made tomato sauce, and all those trips to the farmers market for bushels of red peppers, romano beans, fava beans, and peas. Thank you for creating all the beautiful knit clothing and gorgeous crochet blankets, the last of which was the purple blanket you started for me which I will keep forever.
I am honoured that you trusted me in your care for all these years. We welcomed you into our house, and you helped make it into our home. We created so many precious moments that I will hold dear in my heart. I will cherish our adventures including our trips to Sault Ste. Marie, Niagara Falls, Buffalo, Las Vegas and of course Italy. We visited the hometown where you and dad were born, walked through the church where you wed, and shared a once in a lifetime experience of meeting the Pope. Our pictures, cards and keepsakes will be a constant reminder of the experiences we shared. I will forever treasure our time together.
Taking care of you was an honour and privilege. Thank you for your trust in me. You were such a courageous and gentle woman, always full of grace and dignity. You gave me inspiration, guidance, and encouragement especially when I needed it most. I was so blessed to have you as my mom.
“Forza, coraggio, e pazienza” (strength, courage and patience), these where our words of encouragement that we would say to each other when we needed it most. It lifted our spirits and gave us hope. You will forever be in my heart and continue to be my strength. I know you are watching over me. You are my angel from heaven. As you would say, “you are my heart” and I would reply, “and you are my doll”. You will always be in my heart, thoughts, and prayers. I will always be your baby girl. Until we meet again. As we would say to each other “I love you HUUUUUGE”.
May God give you eternal rest. May your soul Rest in Peace.
Ti amo, Laura. ❤️
