Just over the holidays I was rereading a letter that Aunt Jane had sent me when we corresponded a couple of years ago. Just like her character, her handwriting was beautiful warm and engaging. First class lady. Loyal to family. Always made a fuss over my brothers and I when we would visit over the holidays with Kit and Steve. Aunt Jane always made us feel special. Treated us as if we were her own. Great cook with her dear Mom’s German food as well as learning Grand ma Villani’s Italian dishes. It seems she lived a long and happy life able to enjoy her family, including her grandchildren completely to the end. As it should be…
Good people usually get what they deserve in life.
Deepest sympathy to the Villani and Argenti families. Fond memories of your mom. God rest her talented and dynamic soul with eternal peace.
Sincere condolences to the Argenti and Villani families. Rest in peace.
