    My Dear Aunt Clara. You will never be forgotten. Those Christmas Eve’s at Nunnys when you would sit me on your lap and tell me about Santa are etched in my memory as a lasting treasure. Your kindness, gentle soul and knowing smile were always such a comfort and I shall never forget. You are one of God’s true angels. Sending you with much love and oh so many pleasant thoughts and memories.
    My deepest sympathy to all my Tigano cousins and family. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless you all.
    Much love
    Joe & Linda
