So sad to read that. I haven't had the pleasure of meeting you in person, after all the long stories of your sister Jolanda, and of her daughter, Rita, my mother, and after reading your poems and your writings. I tried to do this, but different types of distances, not only geographical, got in the way. Condolences to the family. - Posted by: Andrea (italian cousin) on: Aug 21, 2024
