She was such a nice Lady and always had good food.
Memories
Ciocia Hele's house always looked so nice and she always gave me delicious candy.
Because we were the first of our family to immigrate to the United States, Ciocia Hele was the first Auntie I was able to know and she was as loving, fun and wise as any child could dream an aunt to be. Her kindness was a steady light, her laughter a gift and her love a blessing that will guide me even in her absence.
I will never forget when I held her 1st born son during his Baptism and she looked at me and began to cry tears of joy--she was so happy to be a mother.
