Kelly posted a condolence
Friday, August 20, 2021
The family has sadly lost a vibrant soul, Kelly's mamma, Mariangela.
I am so grateful to her for warmly welcoming me into the family and so many times into her beautiful garden. The High Priestess of her Persimmon Tree, she sent her bounty east to us with love each autumn, along with so many other gifts from the heart. She knew all her numerous roses by name, followed her blue chip stocks like racehorses, told novel-worthy stories of life in a Swiss town, played her André Rieu waltzes, Edith Piaf torch songs, Bette Middler concert videos and favorite opera arias for me, and we chatted in French and joked in Italian.
I will plant her something beautiful, and wear something red (her favorite) to pay tribute. When we are blessed with loving, colorful mothers, our world is richer.
