Dear Bruno and family
Mrs. Toppi will always be remembered in our family. She was so kind and gentle to our family for the last 44 years. One could not ask for a better neighbor. Our kids grew up knowing a lovely woman who made them cookies, made them laugh and mutually loved one another. We will miss you dearly and your smile and wit will live and love with the capobianco family for ever !
Love Matt and michela
