Dini and Frank sponsored my parents when they immigrated to America in 1955. The four of us lived with Dini, Frank and Lucy in a 2 bedroom apartment for a couple of years as my parents found jobs to reestablish themselves to become self- reliant. This was a trying time for all. Dini babysat 3 young kids, got me registered in school, while keeping the house in order and preparing lunch and dinner for the expanded family. For this, I’ll be forever grateful because later on it allowed me to find the love (Evie) of my life 53 years ago and still going strong, get married, have 3 great kids (Craig, Kevin and Cheryl) and 2 grandchildren (Connor and Chloe). As my family grew and job moved us away from the North Jersey area, the occasional visits to see Dini (and Frank) were heartfelt and welcoming. Always something cheerful to talk about and remembrances of earlier days. Dini loved family. She will be missed, but not forgotten. Dini is now reunited with the love of her life - Frank.
