Dear Rita and Eddie, and extended family, What a gem Gemma was! What a gift to everyone who knew her. We became neighbors more than a decade ago, and friends shortly after that. Gemma and Rita loved on our little Nia as we brought our first baby home from the hospital - we had to insist to Gemma that 4 freezer meals were truly enough! I think of Gemma sitting out on the porch on summer evenings, rarely alone. There was always a friend or neighbor who stopped and sat for a while to shoot the breeze, greet everyone who walked by, and share a laugh. We've stayed in touch since then, and even though we moved halfway round the world to Istanbul, Turkey, Gemma and Rita have kept in touch with encouraging notes and gifts. 2 little kids in Istanbul still walk around proudly sporting Cape Cod sweatshirts! We send our love and share thankfulness with you for this life well lived.
