Dedication

To my
maternal grandparents,
Domenicoantonio Veneziale
and
Pasqua Dilonardo Veneziale
whom I never met in person
but whom I knew and learned to love
through their children
Thomas, Anna, Michael,
Joseph, Susan, Theresa, Mary,
Albert, John, Francis, George, Louis,
Esther, my mother,
Isabelle, and Philomena.

All taught me a love and respect
for
tradition and our legacy
