“A beautiful memory captured in one photo — Zia Carmela, Zio Frank, Zia Marittella (Maria) and Jaime. I like to think that now you’re all together up there. Zio Frank and Jaime sitting at the table, laughing loudly while zia Carmela and zia Marittella cook side by side, filling the room with warmth and love. Rest in peace, dear zia Carmela. Give them all a hug from me. Marilisa”

Franca Morelli wrote a sympathy message

“Zia Carmela ❤️, al secolo Carmela Morelli, sorella di mio padre Giuseppe, ci mancherai moltissimo😥 Anche se distanti, non è mancato mai l'affetto tra di noi, ci sentivamo spesso telefonicamente. Sei emigrata ahimè a soli diciotto anni per raggiungere il nonno in America e la tua vita da quel momento, è stata sempre caratterizzata dal "sacrificio". Sei stata una persona giusta, equa, affettuosa e generosa ed è per questo che tutti coloro che ti hanno conosciuta, da subito, ti hanno voluto bene.”
