CESIRA GOBBI GIRARDELLI (1933-2017)

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Cesira Gobbi Girardelli on June 11 2017, at home surrounded by her family. She leaves to mourn her husband Vito and her cherished son and daughter, Paolo and Claudia. Predeceased by her sisters Iole and Teresa, she is lovingly remembered by her eldest sister Gina. With a most modest of beginnings in Nomesino (Italy) and armed only with the hope of opportunity, she lived a life of relentless determination to secure a better tomorrow for her family. Above all, she will be remembered as a beloved and adored mom.

Your hands.
They steadied our first steps. Reassuring. Teaching.
Hesitant steps became confident and sure.
Along the way, there were stumbles, there were falls.
But never any doubt that your hands would be there, always.
Those hands have grown tired and frail.
Our turn to reach out and hold you, wrapped in love for a last, reluctant goodbye.
Forever loved and never ever to be forgotten.
