Condolences
"We will all miss you, Ma. Thanks for always treating me like a king when we would visit. You always hear the jokes about mothers-in-law, but none of them applied to you. I couldn’t have asked for a nicer and more loving mother-in-law. "

"Thirty-two years ago Eva (and Remo) welcomed us into the warmth of their loving family when our Mark married their beautiful Marisa. She shared with us her love and thoughtfulness and her wonderful Italian family. We will miss her smile and loving ways, but we will keep her in our hearts forever. "
