Zio Giovanni,
Very sad today Zio, you fought the battle so hard. You will be so sadly missed by all your loving family. Have the fondest memories of meeting you in Canada and then again the beautiful family gathering we had at Zia Vittorina`s home. Was a special time and feel so grateful I personally had the oppurtunity to see you and all the family again. With deepest sympathy to Aunt Rita, David, Dianne and all your families. The youngest of the Peressini boys and now you are all together again. Admire the brothers stories how you left home back in difficult times and seeked your new lives. Even though you were so far apart you were always still united in your hearts. Zio your passing has left us very shocked and sad.. Heavy hearts in Australia with much love your sister in law Tina, Adriana, George Joshua and James Theodore.
