In Loving Memory of our dear cousin Emily
Our family is deeply saddened to hear of Emily’s passing, and we are devastated by the loss of someone who meant so much to us all. While her absence leaves a void in our hearts, we are comforted by the countless cherished memories we were fortunate to share with her.
Emily had a special way of making every moment feel extraordinary. Whether it was her radiant smile at family weddings, her warm laughter during holiday gatherings, or her enthusiasm at our summer Celebre picnics, she brought joy and love to every event. Her thoughtful nature and ability to connect with everyone made her the heart of so many of our family celebrations.
We will forever treasure the memories of her dancing at weddings, sharing family stories. Emily’s presence was a gift, and the love she shared will continue to inspire us all.
Though we mourn her loss, we are grateful for the time we had with her and the beautiful legacy she leaves behind. Rest in peace, dear Emily—you will always hold a special place in our hearts.
Antonio, Giovanna Petrasso and family

Our hearts are broken. We are still in shock. Dear Zia Emily, you were the best. You weren’t just our aunt—you were our second mom, our confidante, and our biggest cheerleader. Anyone that knew her, knew that her love was limitless, her generosity was unmatched, and her presence was a constant source of comfort and light.
Zia Emily gave so much of herself to others, never asking for anything in return. She was the one who made every holiday brighter, with her contagious laughter, exciting stories, delicious homemade baked goods and thoughtful gifts.
She was the heart of our family, holding us together in so many ways, and her absence leaves a space that can never be filled.
Heaven has gained an angel, and we are so blessed to now have her as our guardian angel, watching over us from above. Though our hearts ache, we take comfort knowing she is at peace and reunited with loved ones who went before her.
We love you forever, Zia Emily. Thank you for being our light and our strength. You will live on in every smile, every memory, and every act of love. Until we meet again, rest peacefully.
Love,
Gaetano & Fatima Valentini

Un grande dolore è stato aver appreso la triste notizia su Emily. Una perdita improvvisa che stride con la personalità di Emily, una donna energica e piena di vita. Ci dispiace enormemente. Un abbraccio affettuoso a Gino ai ragazzi, a zia Emilia e zio Jo e alla famiglia Valentini. Con affetto i cugini Petrasso.
