With deep sadness, we have learned of the passing of dear Aunt Elisa. Despite the distance that kept us apart, her affectionate and constant thoughts of all of us have always been a source of joy, knowing how to always be present and keeping the bond with our family alive. We will never forget the affection and care she always showed us. For us, she has been and will always be a point of reference that nullifies any distance and keeps us united, as she wished, in her memory. May her soul rest in peace and impart to all of us the ability to love that she possessed throughout her life. Your nephew, Gioacchino Napolitano, and family

Carissima ,Zia Elisa , anche se hai vissuto lontana dall'Italia e dalla tua famiglia italiana, sei stata il punto di riferimento di tutti noi, la tua costante voglia di vivere l'amore familiare anche da lontano è l'esempio di come l'amore può essere comunque percepito anche lontani fisicamente. La tua capacità di tenere insieme i tuoi figli e i tuoi nipoti in una casa piena di affetto ed accoglienza trasmettendo ed insegnando le tradizioni di famiglia italiana e il tuo pensiero verso noi nipoti italiani ha creato un bellissimo legame che impone a noi tutti di continuare a mantenere vivo come tu avresti continuato a fare , ricordandoti sempre di tutti. I tuoi insegnamenti e i tuoi gesti di affetto resteranno nei nostri cuori per sempre. Che il Signore ti accolga serena tra gli angeli. Pina , Rosaria, Nicola, Dario, Massimiliano, Giorgia e Tua Zia Maria Napolitano
