1. Dearest Zia Mary and family,
   It is with deepest and heartfelt sadness that I write these words of Condolences, in the loss of our dearest and loved, Zio Jim. We are so sorry that we have lost another Matriarch in our family, who touched our lives in so many special ways. We are glad, however, that we got to come and say goodbye personally before he passed, but, regret that we can not be there for the funeral. Our memories with Zio Jim will forever be treasured and cherished. His entertaining stories that he would tell, and wouldn’t continue unless he had everyones undivided attention, and how often he would start to laugh as he was telling them, which was enough to get all of us laughing so hard, while trying to understand what he was saying. I can actually hear his laughter now. His love of sharing food and drink with all his guests will be forever cherished. The trips we took together, and how he honoured me by allowing me to drive and saying I was a good, driver, and that I was one of the first females he felt safe with. Zio Jim, you will be so missed, but forever carved in our Hearts. May you be sitting at our Lords table and sharing your beautiful stories now with Him, and all our departed loved ones. You will be forever missed, loved and thought of… we love you dearly, Love Tony, Lili, Mike, & Chris
