A Life Ends ...

Obviously, that's me on the left, with sister Kathy & brother Ronnie. In front, is Grandma & Mom. Photo taken about 2 and a half years ago at Grandma's 100th birthday party.

Old Granny passed away on Tuesday, March 11, 2002 at the tender young age of 102 ... my last real link to the "old country," Italy. This remarkable & loving woman saw EVERY SINGLE minute, of every day, of the 20th Century ... in itself, quite an achievement! I will miss her dearly.

Many of you may have heard of the shooting at a Catholic Church on Long Island, in Lynbrook, yesterday morning. A Priest and a worshipper were gunned down during morning Mass. The Priest, a day earlier, had blessed my Grandmother at her deathbed. Her funeral Mass was to be held at that very Church ... Very small, and very sick, World.

Anyway, I'm off to the real wilds of New York for her funeral, and to see if I can find the Twin Towers. I'll look for you all along the road ... be back with you over the weekend.
