...and here is what we came home to last night. Luca is like a little puppy at Grandpa's feet :)
Lucy Theresa Cavezza, 90, passed gently into the arms of the Lord on November 16, 2008 in Glendora, California. Her passing came just one week after the death of her husband Carmen. After 67 years of marriage, they truly could not live, or die, without each other. Lucy was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on November 7, 1918, one of eleven children born to Attilio and Gaetana Angelini, Italian immigrants who ran a grocery store. In 1941, she married Carmen Cavezza, the son of fellow store owners. They moved to California in 1946, where they built a beautiful life together. Lucy was an active parishioner and school parent at St. Joseph's in La Puente and she was the very first Parent Club Vice President at Bishop Amat High School. She was a devoted wife, a true "soccer mom" of her time, and most importantly, a beautiful and pure model of her Christian faith. She is survived by her loving children Fran (Cherie) and Mary Grace (Joe); her grandchildren Carole, Billy, Carly, Paul, Catherine, and Gregory; and her great-grandchildren Nicole and Brandon. Funeral Services will be held on Friday November 21st at Queen of Heaven Cemetery, 2161 Fullerton Road, Rowland Heights, CA 91748 (626) 964-1291 Viewing 8a-12p, Rosary 12:15p, Mass 12:30p, Reception to follow. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Bishop Amat Memorial High School, contact the Development Office 626.962.2495 Ext. 1-7456
