Nonna was the matriarch to our family. She filled our hearts and our stomachs every time we were with her. She had a lifelong love of baking and at every festive occasion she would slave over the oven to bake traditional cookies for all of us. 

She also had a love of gardening and every summer she would boast about her vegetable garden. She would often joke that her tomatoes were the best in the world – actually now that I think about it, I don’t think she was joking. 

Nonna loved spending time with her friends and would always lend a hand or an ear when in need. 

She had a fierce love for her family and especially for her grandchildren and great grandchildren – our love for her was equally as strong. We never held back telling her how much we loved her – to which she would often reply, I love you more.

She was firm in her faith and held true to her traditions.

Nonna was a force to be reckoned with – she suffered unbearable heartache when she lost our Nonno and more so when she lost our Uncles - she was broken but she kept going - we marveled over her strength and perseverance. 

She never forgot her roots – she often told us stories of the hardships she endured while growing up and we understood that this is what shaped her to be our pillar of strength.

Today our hearts are truly broken but full of immense love and great pride for we are truly blessed because we are the children, grandchildren and great grandchildren of our beloved Nonna Mia.

Nonna, your life was a blessing, your memory a treasure, you are loved beyond words and you will be missed beyond measure.

Avrai sempre i nostri cuori - Your Children, Grandchildren & Great Grandchildren
