Condolence: Time has a way of fading certain memories, but will also focus your thoughts on the ones of import. When I first met Cynthia it was clear in my getting to know her, the significant role that Maria “Nonna” Torchia played in her life. After a couple of dates, was I nervous to meet Nonna for the first time? Well I knew this, I couldn’t mess it up or perhaps this fledging romance would abruptly end. So yes, it almost felt like a second date another chance to make a good impression or a bad one. I still remember Nonna sitting at the kitchen table preparing a meal and the look on her face as she welcomed me and as she has always welcomed me, how she made me feel that love, a mother’s love. The unconditional love of someone put on this Earth for the most noble of all purposes, to love and care for others. May you Rest In Peace, Nanny and may your family and friends find comfort in the many cherished memories you left behind. Love always, Joel, “Joello”
