“Life has been God’s precious and loving gift to me. I am so thankful for all who have accompanied me on my journey. It has been a real joy growing up in an Italian family and neighborhood and later learning and growing with all the people I have met through the years. I have learned so much about giving and receiving, about faith and prayer and about treasuring good food, good friends and good wine. I have so much to celebrate. Thank you for your love and support. ”
