To my beautiful Mum (Nelda) you were our rock, our confidante, and our guiding star. Your love will continue to light our way. Love you mum. Your daughter Sabrina and son in law Peter.
Nelda was a force of nature: always singing, always dancing, always moving.
I loved how straightforward she was: if she had something to tell you, she always did, no matter what (at least with me).
She and Rino completed each other in many ways. They were incredibly welcoming and kind. They welcomed me in their family without knowing me. They just invited me over for a coffee after a phone call. And that coffee became lunch. And that lunch became every Sunday lunch and so on: they became a sort of family for me in Wollongong.
And this happened just because Nelda the first time I called kept me on the phone for 15 minutes asking me many many questions.
Thank you for everything Nelda, thank you for your kindness, for your energy and for your love.
Say CIAO to Rino from me and keep singing for all of us who loved you deeply.
With love, Valentina
