Dear Bruno, Mirella and Family, Margaret, Walter and Family,
It was with great sadness that we heard of the passing of our beloved Zia Lidia. Our deepest condolences go out to all of you!
She was a remarkable woman - full of energy, full of life, full of love! As there was only 11 months and 4 days apart between Giovanin, my dad, and Zia Lidia, they were very close. They teased each other and had a special fondness between them. Even though I lost my dad at 18 and we lived in different provinces, I have many memories of Zia Lidia and my dad together, and they are happy ones. Sharing a laugh together, meeting up in Penticion in the summer, singing way into the night at weddings, and always sharing a couple of glasses of home made wine. She always kept in touch, and was there for important times in our family - weddings, showers, and wonderful summertime visits. I was so happy that she could meet my daughter and appreciated her frequent calls to check on how we were doing. I loved her very much, and will miss her deeply. May she be at peace, sitting at a table with my dad and Zio Tony, and many other friends, enjoying the best glass of wine together and singing arm in arm!
Love, Jo-Anna, Giorgio and Sofia Nicolato and Zia Ines
