Personal Notes:
Ginny is Aunti Nora's daughter. Aunti Nora is Gramma Fallavollita's younger sister. We need to write a book just on the Maffeo sisters because as they will tell you, their stories will make you laugh so much that you will pee your pants. Aunti Nora was such a classy Aunt. I couldn't wait until Aunti Nora and Uncle Leo came to my grandmother's house to visit. Uncle Leo always gave us kids a dollar (that was a lot of money back then). When visiting Aunti Nora she would always give me a tour of her closets and show me her beautiful table linens. Her fingernails were always beautifully painted and her smile and laugh was always contagious.
