I will always love my Zia Joanie. Thank you for all of the beautiful memories: Christmas and Easter feasts, visits at the kitchen table, admiring the vegetable garden, sitting on the porch watching the world go by, walks in James Gardens, big weddings dancing the night away, waking up in the hospital to see yours and Marisa's smiling faces, long distance phone calls to hear the voice I knew from infancy, the voice that prayed me into being. You are born in the world beyond now, Zia, and I will pray for your happiness in the realm of eternal delight. Love from all of us to all who love you in this world and the next.
