Rest in peace Aunt Imelda.
All our love, Tony, Marlene, Carol and Amy.
We spent a weekend with them at their lovely home in the desert and enjoyed much kindness and many laughs.
I am truly grateful for the time that I was able to spend with you in the last few months. I will never forget all my childhood memories with you, from eating ice cream, to doing puzzles, and playing Carrom. I love you and thank you for always showing love to me throughout my life! You are loved and missed!
Love, Ethan
I will always Love you and miss you!

I think about Dick and Imelda quite often, as a young sailor stationed in San Diego, CA, I spent many weekends visiting and going places with them. I learned a great deal from both of them and many life lessons of integrity, honesty and humility was taken in by me. One of the biggest attributes of Imelda was her love for people, especially family. But like her awesome son, I too can remember that wonderful laugh. They are great memories, cherished beyond the passing of them both. Dick was my idol so to speak growing up and we resembled each other in facial features and talk. I have heard many times over the years by nephews and nieces the idiosyncrasies shared by all the brothers. It is so true with all families, but remembering them is so precious. Yes, they are together walking the streets of Gold, but they are so defined in each of our hearts.
Together Again
When Dad passed on January 21st, 2015, Imelda who suffered from dementia had a hard time realizing he was gone. It took several days for the thought of her Husband of 61 years being gone and with the Lord. Imelda wept each day and each day she prayed to be with her husband in Heaven. Food had no taste, water no nourishment! In the months that past, Imelda quickly declined and after several hospitalizations and care in an memory care facility she went home to be with Dick on June 16th, 2015. They are together again!
I will miss you both Mom & Dad.....Thanks for the time we shared her on Earth. Farewell for now until we meet again in Heaven!
Love Kraig
Malta Family Trip of 1999
During one of the many family dinners in Malta, the brothers were off in a corner laughing telling tales. Mom from the other side of the table was laughing along with them. When Uncle Edwin asked mom "what are you laughing about?" Mom replied, "I don't know, I am laughing because you are laughing!" At that point the whole family roared in laughter!
She just enjoyed being with the whole family, laughing! Thanks for the wonderful memory Mom!
