    To the Bastone Family: We want to express our deepest sympathy to all of you. We have heard so many great stories about your mom and grandmother Rita. The first time I met her ,at your home , she was fixing her hair in the mirror making sure she looked great❤️ she had such a great personality and was so full of life. May she rest in peace and may God give you the strength to keep her memory strong❤️
