Ciao, Giuseppa “Josephine” D’Annibale

Lasciò Ceccano, anzi la Cardegna, quasi 60 anni fa, per dare un futuro alle figlie, per farle lavorare e studiare in quella prosperosa ma freddissima terra di Penn, lassù al confine con il Canada, dove il lago Erie ghiaccia e le sue onde diventano tanti cristalli. Ora è partita di nuovo per la vera patria di ciascuno di noi: la sua vita non è tolta ma trasformata come dice il prefazio dei defunti.

Eccone l’epitaffio

Giuseppa “Josephine” D’ Annibale, age 84, of Erie, passed away Monday, October 8, 2012, at Select Specialty Hospital. She was born December 9, 1927, in Ceccano, Italy, a daughter of the late Pietro and Maria Stacconi Pizzuti. Giuseppa was a member of Holy Rosary Church.
