Aunt Laura, you were such a wonderful Aunt to me my entire life, you were always there for us. I cherish the memories I have of coming over and we would talk about everything and nothing, but the best part of visiting was to sit and visit about our itilian heritage and all the memories of Granger ave. I loved walking in your door and shouting your favorite and only niece is here. Love you Aunt Laura, I will stay close to Robin
