Our Aunt "Dode" as we have called her throughout the years and three generations will always be remembered as an icon of love, peace and family unity in our hearts and everyday lives. Her smile and comforting words will always reign over us for years to come. Our sincere condolences to our cousins and their families at this moment of loss. Love from Tuscany

What a remarkable woman, our Grandma Doe was. She never met a stranger and always had the right words, the right touch and an abundance of love to give. She will be deeply missed but will live on in the precious memories we hold dear. Rest in peace, Grandma. We take great comfort in knowing you are watching over us.
