I miss our talks ..I miss you Aunt Leona...and will always hold you close to my heart.  I think of you always and know that your spirit embraces me ..I remember when i was  moving to Miami you reminded me to be fearless and was proud I made the choice to leave NY and follow my dreams. .I  see and feel you in the warmth of the sun , in the waves of the beach, in the drops of the rain, in the cold of the wind, in the flight of the bird..Your energy surrounds me and yur pictures reflect your happiness of life. I thank you for showing me how to love to its fullest...Happy Birthday in Heaven.....Your Niece Giovanna...xxxxx/oooooo

Mama said one day when the sky looks this beautiful just at a moment like this, that it would be her smiling down on me. Well there were a lot of days like that day since she has been gone and everytime the breeze would blow just right and I could smell her scent across my nose and feel the touch of her embrace surrounding me. I love and miss you Mama with all my heart.
