Amelia...So glad to know you for the short time I did...
When I was living with my mom I made a older friend running errands and chores for my mom. Her name was Amelia and this is how we met. I approached her one day and told her she should carry her pocketbook on the front not hanging on the back, too easy for someone to hurt her and that's how we became friends.
Amelia was around her late eighties when we met and I just found out today she passed away last year:( Amelia was an amazing woman. Whenever I went shopping G-d put Amelia in my path...I wonder if any of my friends from the neighborhood knew her or knew of her...She was about 4 ft 11 and always dressed nice. She would run her chores and errands in several of the places I always went to at the same time and I always made sure when I saw her I gave her a hug and walked her across the big street Ocean Ave. Amelia was a very smart woman with a lot of wisdom. She was always happy to see me...I don't believe she had children but she had family who watched over her. She lived in a big private home close to St.Edmunds Church. I think she also had a sister that had passed away...Amelia once told me I was born on Jesus mother's birthday...unreal...RIP Amelia...thank you for making a difference in my life...My thoughts and prayers go out to Amelias family, church family at St Edmunds and her friends...Ellen Zucker, Brooklyn NY

Amelia, I am so sorry I lost you and I didn't even know until 4 days later. I wish I could have spoken to you one last time. It has been a hard year, I lost my dad 9 months ago as you know and I hope you could finally meet him, your cousin up there. You two never met before and yet so much love he felt for you that goes back to the time your mom Anita crossed the ocean to never come back. Her brother Giovanni Ranaldi was supposed to join her even before my dad was born in 1928 and then he had a terrible accident, he lost his hand and no more America for him. It is a long story and I have been always amazed by the strong bond that family can hold even if you lived on the other side of the ocean. You and Theresa never left Brooklyn and yet you always knew enough Italian to talk to us. And then our first meeting in 1984 when I was studying for a summer in New York and back then I didn't even know I would end up living in the USA ten years later!!! And what about meeting my mother in 1986, she lost her memory and she asks me where is my father many times every day, but she can remember you sisters and the wonderful time we had. And then later on, I was so proud to bring my kids and husband to meet you. Martino e Mia were so lucky to know you. We will all go back to eat at Pinocchio and order a chicken parmigiana for you.
I am here in Italy right now to take care of my mom and Giorgio, but as soon as I come back I will come to bring you flowers. I will miss you, I will miss our phone conversations and I deeply regret I could not tell you words of comfort when you were in the hospital. I am upset i was not able to get a phone number from you in case something happened, you were very hard headed like all the Ranaldi and you made sure I was not bothered by any of your needs. I loved you and I always will, you were special to me and an example of living between two worlds in a completely different way than mine, but with the same feeling of belonging to a wonderful family made of men and women with a big heart and generosity to spare, without mentioning the sweet tooth!!!
Ciao Amelia da parte di tutti noi: Pierina, Serafina, Bruce, Martino, Mia, Giorgio, Gianluigi. Give a hug to my dad when you see him and a kiss to Theresa. You are finally with her, since she left you were living one day at time, as you used to tell me each time we spoke. Now it is my turn to live one day at time, surviving my losses and going ahead. I wish I had your faith.
Good bye my sweet Amelia, rest in peace!

Amelie, we had such fun sharing life's ups and downs, usually over steaming cups of tea and your favorite muffins (and we did try all kinds of flavors), cookies, little cakes and cream puffs! Didn't we feel devilish while indulging in those sweet delights? I will miss you...always will. You have been such a wonderful friend and almost like a second mother to me. Thank you so much. You finally got your wish to have a reunion with your Mom, Dad and sister, Theresa. God bless you always. Rest in peace in the sweet company of Jesus and our Blessed Mother.
