Hello My name is Sunitha Morales, our daughter, Victoria Basso, who is married and blessed us with two grandboys., spoke well for her self and her mother, who is me. My dad, apparently didn't want to know us, which is ok. But you would think Vanno would reached out to us at least.

A vicious dog that became a mouse. A coward at his best, hid from us and himself. He damaged everyone in his family. He only had his pride and hid in fear not hear his violent attacks on children, none others ever seen. A stingy human with money and empathy. He is less than kind more than a kin. He became kind to his new family, screw him. He hurt his children still dream of a call from Papa. What a joke!

This is my grandfather. He was a poor excuse for a father, a poor excuse for a grandfather, and one of the coldest people Ive ever known.
He immigrated from India with my grandmother and their 4 children. None of which are mentioned here. He beat my grandmother and uncles so badly in drunken rages that its left lasting scars on his natural born children.
I meet him when I was 8 and I asked for a doll and he gave me 4 quarters. My mother threw the quarters at him in the street. Its one of my earliest memories.
I personally feel nothing for a man who was nothing to me in my life. I saw him a total of 4 times.
But my mother even into her 60s craved the acknowledgment of this piece of his poop and he died without ever apologizing for his sins.
His current family didnt even care even to mention his natural children which says more about Vanno as a wife and mother and a person. Dead since April and not even a call.
