We often lay awake at night when the world is fast asleep, and take a walk down memory lane, with tears upon our cheeks.

We hold you tightly in our hearts, and there you will remain, you see, life has gone on without you, but will never be the same! ~ Love, Giulia and her sons Mike, Tony, (Donna), Walt, and Rob (Vicki) and grandchildren, Sean, Andrew, Chris, Derek, Jeff and Rebecca FLETCHER, Paul Roy Peacefully at Niagara Falls General Hospital, on Friday, September 26, 2014, at the age of 69.
