    I wish to extend my regrets to the family for not being able to participate at the funeral. I have a service for my own niece at the same time. Please accept my sincerest condolences and those of my whole family, as we used to be neighbours when we first came from Italy. Although at this time we have our own sorrow to deal with, our thought are with all of you as well.
    Pietro Calendino on behalf of all other family members.

    Losing a mother and grandmother is one of the deepest sorrows a heart can know. We feel truly blessed to have had Zia Elvira in our lives. Thinking of Zia Elvira brings good memories to mind, but most importantly the valued traditions that have been passed on for us to continue. She will be truly missed.

    Our love and prayers go out to all of you.

    Love Gilda, Vince, Ryan and Domenique Busto
