rocco salviola wrote a sympathy message

“Losing my Godmother Judy has saddened my heart. For years I stayed silent to protect my sister, carrying truths that caused distance between me, her and Rachel. I have regrets, but my loyalty came from love and the need to protect my family from the trauma we suffered. Judy, you deserved more of me. I'm grateful for the history we shared. Rejoice in heaven — you are deeply loved and will be forever missed. 🕊️ All my love Rocco.”
