  8. To our dear nonna Rosa.

    You have always been a loving and caring grandmother and mother, we knew how much you loved us because you gave us all the affection you had in the world.
    You have always been a strong woman and we knew your strength well, we will always admire you for having left Italy-country where you always left your heart- to give our mother and our uncles a better future. This is why your courage and strength have always been dominant.

    Until the end you remembered the love you felt for your country and as Italians we know how difficult it is to stay away from it.
    But as always you put your love for your children first and sacrificed everything for their better future.

    Dear nonna, Cara nonna, what can we say, our hearts cry at not having been able to say goodbye to you for the last time and not having been close to you in these last moments of your life, but we know that you were surrounded by all the love of your children and for sure you were proud and happy about it.
    In Italy we say: “Man reaps what he sows” and you have reaped all the love you have given in your life because you deserved it.

    Rest in Peace nonna, we will always carry you in our hearts and rememeber you for the strong women you were and for how much you loved us.
    We will love you forever nonna.

    Your grandchildren from Italy
