We will never forget you Great Nonna

My Nonna, Aida Ioppolo, passed away March 8, 2009, at age 94. As most of you know we were extremely close. We had her funeral and celebration with family in Brooklyn, NY, earlier in the month. I feel very fortunate to have had her in my life for almost 33 years, and that she and Sophie were able to spend quality time together over the last year and a half. My Nonna was a strong woman and continues to be a tremendous inspiration for me and our family.
