In loving memory of my mother who passed away one day before her 89th birthday:
September 24, 1934 - September 23, 2023
An epitaph from her grieving grandchildren:
Our Nonna kept a garden
A garden of the heart
She planted all the good things
That gave our lives a start
She turned us to the sunshine
And encouraged us to dream
Fostering and nurturing
The seeds of self-esteem
And when the winds and rains came
She protected us enough
To stand up strong and tough
Her constant good example
Always taught us right from wrong
Markers for our pathway
To last our whole lives long
We are our Nonna’s garden
We are her legacy
And we hope today she feels the love
Reflected back from us
