Cara Nanna Maria,

The unconditional love and joy you showed for us is undescribable. We will forever cherish the memories we have made with you. The look of excitement when we would surprise you arriving at your door on weekends is a highlight that is etched into our hearts. We are so greatful for all the unexpected meals that only you could provide. Your big warm hugs, your cheeky smile and loving nature will be sadly missed but will remain forever in our broken hearts.

Ti voglio sempre bene
