Our thoughts are with all of you as you celebrate Elvira’s long and wonderful life. I looked back and found this photo which really captured the wonderful times our families have had together over the years. It is 11 years ago today (December 14th 2012) since Dad passed away and his memory remains strong in our minds and hearts – just as Elvira will in yours.
All the best; The Amantea and Blackwell families.
Un abbraccio forte da noi tutti, in particolare da zia Elena nel ricordo caro della tanto amata sorella. Resterà sempre nei nostri cuori.
So sorry to hear about Elvira’s death. I only found out about this today. Remembering your mom’s kindness and sense of humour. She was a very special person. To all the Perri family, my sincere condolences. Elizabeth Perri
