Happy Birthday
Donna Dechiaro
I love opening the Bronx Times week after week and seeing my fabulous Aunt Jeanne, the smiling ‘Cover Girl’ in the advertisement for Providence Rest where she resides.
My Aunt Jeanne is celebrating her 97th Birthday on Wednesday, May 17.
A loving family, laughter, great conversation and lots of books to discuss and crossword puzzles to solve most surely are a good recipe for longevity.
How blessed we are to have such a wonderful aunt, mother, grandmother and sister.
Much like her siblings–Uncle Stan, Aunt Marie, my mother, Jo Jo, Uncle Teddy, Aunt Dotti, and Uncle Nealie, she also possessed the ‘gift of gab.’
She had perfect comedic timing and entertained us time and again with stories that made us laugh until we cried.
God Bless You and Happy Birthday, Aunt Jeanne. On your special day, here’s tons of love coming your way!
From your loving niece and nephew, Donna D, Alan, and all the family.
