  3. I always enjoyed going over to Uncle Tony & Aunt Carols home. I loved listening to their stories & Uncle Tony’s thick accent was a comfort. My most fond memories are sitting around the table, of course, eating, laughing & talking. A strong & fond memory that I also recall was spending time in the back yard in the garden picking items with Uncle Tony… I am blessed to be related to & to have known Uncle Tony! ~ Marinella
