Dearest Boni,

I am keeping you and your family in my heart during this time of sorrow. I miss getting to see Marco, Aemilia and Nico during their Sunday visits to Durham Private.

I mourn the loss of Mariella with you. I will always remember how incredibly kind she was to me and how welcomed she made me feel when I moved across the hall from you.

With much love,
Pam

My sincerest condolences to Boni Penna and family on the passing of Mariella Penna.
I shall remember her for the wonderful person she was. She was always joyfully in her greetings.
Mariella was always comming up with idiomatic expressions in English such as: My boss is a nice person but she is a brick short of a load.
Mariella will be missed by all who knew her.

Special Regards
Bill Shurben

To Maria’s family,

I met Maria two summers ago when my daughter moved into Durham private. I remember her kindness right away. She did not hesitate to inform us of all we should need to know to make us feel comfortable and confident of our new surroundings. Her warmth and enthusiasm were memorable
I will never forget. I hope I will do the same for others.
She was a very special person. The world has lost a treasure, heaven has gained one.

To all the family I send my deepest condolences.

Nicky
