The last item really struck my eyes. Our last name is Russo and the funeral agency that wrote the obit is Russo. Do you know if this picture was taken on the outskirts of Palermo, Sicily? My husband's family (Russo's) came from Partinecco and my husband is a funeral director here in the United States. Excellent writing. The last item really struck my eyes.

'Mamma's' influence is indeed felt in every nook and cranny, in concepts and in the language itself. Thanks especially to my sister Barbara for putting it forward.

I'm married into a large Sicilian family and that has provided me with a strong understanding of the importance and role of the mother, so very different from an American mother. It's something that has added much to my life and I very much value and envy sons and daughters of 'Mamma'. Ciao, bella. Sweet greetings from Frog Hollow Farm.
