I´m so very sorry for the families loss. I´ll always remember Armella as the fun, upbeat, bubbly, smiley, full of life person that she always was!! Even though she was my cousin, I considered her more of an Aunt. I have a lot of great memories with her, especially from my childhood. She will be greatly missed and never forgotten!
