My love to you Van, Bona, Doriano, Amedeo, Marco, and families. Ermalinda was an amazing influence on so many people. I am blessed to have had her in my life. I only wish that my daughters had been able to know her as I did. She was such a blessing to my Noni, Rena, as well. May the Lord confort you in this time and give you strength.
