Zia Ciccina was a loving, caring, hospitable woman. She will be sadly missed. She opened her home to our family and our extended family. Never ever did she not show us her love for her kids, grandchildren and our families. Zia you are now with Zio. Gone but not forgotten Honey Bunch. Xx

One of the most beautiful woman I have ever met. Her beauty was inside as well as outside. She loved with all her heart and made you feel so special. She will truly be missed! As she always use to say to me "I love you with all my heart".
