For the minimal relationship she was able to have with him, given the distance between them in different states, she certainly made up for it by spoiling her grandson with whatever he wanted. From an iPad to toys, video games, and even soccer jerseys of his favorite player Messi, all Luca had to do was text grandma, and you could be sure there was an Amazon box at the house that week. Even though she was only able to be a part of his life for 8 short years, her presence was a source of joy and generosity for Luca. Her love knew no bounds, and she made every effort to make Luca's life brighter from afar. Whether it was through special deliveries or heartfelt messages, her love for her grandson was undeniable. Luca will forever remember the love and kindness she showered upon him as well, and her memory will continue to bring warmth to his heart. Despite the physical distance, the bond they shared was filled with love and cherished moments, creating a special connection that transcended miles. Her son Nicholas. As I am the one writing this, I will simply say that there is no question that my mother and I had our ups and downs, and if I'm being honest, most of those downs were probably caused by me. However, there is not a person in the world who loved me more or with whom I shared more laughter. As a single parent, our relationship was not traditional by any sense, but it was uniquely ours. It was a special bond that only a mother and son could share. My mother never wavered in her love for me and picked me up more times than I can count. I will forever be thankful for what this extraordinary woman did for me. She gave me life, she gave me love, and she gave me a sense of humor that allowed me to laugh at anything I came across in this world. No matter how mad she may have been at me at times, I always knew there was a place I could go to share a laugh. Our relationship was filled with love, laughter, and an unbreakable bond that transcended any challenges we faced. My mother's enduring love and unwavering support were constants in my life, and I will carry her memory with me always. She truly was one of a kind and I’m so thankful to have called her my mom. In addition to her immediate family, Cindy also cherished her extended family and friends as well. The bonds she forged with her extended family and friends were a testament to her warm and inclusive nature, and they will continue to be a source of strength and support for each other in her absence. Cindy's love and spirit will forever unite her extended family, and they will carry her memory forward with love and gratitude. Cindy is now reunited with her parents, Anthony and Barbara Molinaro, as well as other family members who have eagerly awaited her arrival. As a united family, we hold onto the hope of the day when we will all once again be together with Cindy, sharing in her warmth and love.
