We have such wonderful memories of Nonna. The Aiello/Fioretto family is a testament to her strength and love.
Joe, my most sincere condolences on your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your entire family.
Sincere condolences to the entire Aiello family. We have nothing but very fond memories of this loving and sweet lady. May she rest in peace with her husband who she lived so much
My thoughts and prayers are with the Aiello family during this time of bereavement. Revelation 21:4 “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.” God Bless!
Dearest Joe & Sheila, Sending our deepest sympathy & prayer to your whole family believing that Nonna is now in peace in God’s loving embrace.
