Nonna, thank you for filling our lives with love, warmth, and the comfort that only you could give. You had a way of making every family moment feel special - from shared meals to the stories you told, to the way you laughed with your whole heart. Your strength, kindness, and gentle spirit will stay with us forever. Even in your final days, you were surrounded by so much love - the same love you spent a lifetime giving so freely. I will carry your memories with me always, in the small everyday moments and in the big milestones. Thank you for everything you taught me, everything you showed me, and everything you were. You will always be in our hearts, Nonna. Forever loved, forever missed. Kelly,Kurt, Maddy & Charlotte xxxx
