She is a kind loving person and i miss her very much. I still cant beleive when i wake up in the morning i cant call her and hear her voice or jump in car and go over to see her. She has been the rock of our family and what is keeping us going is hearing all the kind words that people have to say about my mother. On Tuesday when she passed away my life was changed forever. We were all sitting around her when she passed away and we all got to say good bye. That is the way she wanted it. She told me when she came home from the hospital that she wanted everyone in the house so me and my girlfriend stayed there for the last 3 weeks and somebody was up with her 24 hours a day making sure she was comfortable and never in pain. That was our goal for her not to suffer. And we succeeded. She is an amazing person, wife and mother. She always put herself last. Even when she was laying in bed she called me over to ask if threr was enough toilet paper in the house. That is what she was worried about. She was not worried about herself she was worried about us. I cant express how much my mother means to me and my family all i can say is that I LOVE HER AND I WILL MISS HER VERY MUCH. I know she is in heaven looking down at us still taking care of her family and friends. Even though she is no longer on this earth she is still with me. She is in my heart, in my life and in my prayers. Thank you again for all the kind words I know she appreciates it also.

On investigation, it turns out to be one of the many variants of the Italian surname <I>Tedesco</I>, meaning of course 'German', and borne by both Italians of actual German extraction and by Italian Jews -- the latter a fascinating group in themselves, many of them the direct descendants of Jewish settlers from Imperial days, and as such technically neither Ashkenazim nor Sephardim.<BR/><BR/>There is a Palais Todesco, on the Ringstrasse in Vienna, formerly occupied by an aristocratic family of that name, and until 1995 the headquarters of the Austrian People's Party, the Christian Democratic party of Austria.<BR/><BR/>Do you know anything about Marilyn's family history?John Cowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11452247999156925669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3571309.post-72446325867351999232007-06-21T00:10:00.000-04:002007-06-21T00:10:00.000-04:00May she rest peacefully, and may what was good in ...May she rest peacefully, and may what was good in her live on in those she touched. <BR/><BR/>I'm so sorry.meredith arwenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12609381191469025082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3571309.post-19527105433779806932007-06-20T15:31:00.000-04:002007-06-20T15:31:00.000-04:00I am so very sorry to hear this.
