To my dear cousin's Janet, Elaine and Vince,
I send to you my expression of deepest sympathies on the news of the passing of your loving mother, Eva. It is my sincere hope that your bereavement will soon be replaced with the joy of the memories so rich in the traditions and celebration of the Italian family. Allow me also to offer my sincere regrets that due to prior commitments, I cannot attend funeral services in person. Dawn, Philip and I will be with you in spirit, but will share together a celebration of her life from our home in Arizona.
My dear Aunt Eva touched my life in so many ways. The first memories that come to mind are based on the visits to your home on Isaac Street. I recall my father saying "come on Jimmy, I'm going to visit my sister, do you want to come with me"? You bet I did! I wouldn't miss all the treats, coffee royals, and early sampling of Sunday supper for the world. My father always commented it was only Aunt Eva's cooking that tasted like his mother's. The experience escalated to unattainable heights during the holidays. The antipasto, salad, pasta & meatballs, the fish and seafood were so lovingly brought to the table in the way she was taught by her mother, The only way, the Italian Way.
She celebrated the events in my life with love and kindness including my marriage to Dawn and the birth of our son, Philip. She loved them both as her own daughter and grandson. Later in life, she always welcomed our visits and was so happy to visit with us. Although I must confess, I took great joy in raising her blood pressure in the same manner that my father would. That was the Faceti-Masciangelo family at it finest...engaged in a heated discussion over the world's problems that had no good resolution. I shall miss that more than anything as she was the last of the 1st generation of Masciangelo's to come to this country from Italy.
My family will especially cherish her visit to our home at the time in Napa Valley, California. On that visit, Dawn took her and my mother to spend a day at a Spa in Calistoga, CA. Dawn recalls how eager Aunt Eva was to wade into the mineral waters even though she didn't pack a bathing suit for the trip. Clad only in a T-shirt and under garments, she enthusiastically joined the fun. After the ladies all had massages, Dawn said she could hear her and my mother snoring in the private adjacent rooms. Can memories of a cherished loved one get any better than that!
On the same trip, I drove her to the coast where she waded out into the Pacific Ocean. Once again, no bathing suit! With each rolling wave her look of joy and happiness grew exponentially. I'll cherish those memories for the rest of my life.
Finally, on the same trip I took her to the Culinary Institute of America where after touring we enrolled in a cooking class. The menu item for that day was a frittata. I once again found my Dear Aunt Eva asleep in class. Go figure. However, I didn't bat an eye as I knew there was no chef in America that could hold a candle to Aunt Eva in the kitchen. None, period!
In closing, know that Aunt Eva was dear to our hearts. My family will miss her always and a day shall not pass that we wish we could visit with her just one more time. Her laughter, and joy of life will be gone forever. But we shall cling to the cherished memories forever.
Allow me to say one last, heartfelt goodbye to my dear Aunt Eva, my Angel on earth. She gave so much more than she ever sought, The care she gave GrandPa, GrandMa, Aunt Josephine and husband Dante are examples to all Christians of how to live a life enriched with caring, giving and most off all loving.
Sincerely,
Jim, Dawn and Philip Masciangelo
