Thanksgiving 2016

Bittersweet Memories 2016

All hearts come home for the holidays, and this year my Mom's heart was called home to be with my Dad, and now they are together again and at peace.

Loretta Boleeno De Federicis 1930 - 2016

Mom passed away earlier this year and as I prepare for Thanksgiving I am filled with bittersweet memories - an overwhelming sadness that she isn't here with us anymore, but also a feeling of warmth for a lifetime of beautiful, sweet memories.

Mom and Dad, we love you and miss you but you are with us and in our hearts forever - and all hearts come home for the holidays!

I wish you and your family a bountiful year filled with blessings of love, laughter, good health and happiness!
