My Parents

By Mary Angela Lopetrone Andali Spinnato

.

This is my mother and father. My mother is Rosa Lopetrone 1931, born of Angela Maria Ciodo and Guiseppe Lopetrone di Penzera. This is a photo when my mother first came to Canada to join her husband who had left her two years prior to make a better life for them. My father first met my eldest brother Gaetano when he was two years old.

This second photo is from last November 2006. They are still healthy and very much active with their family and friends. My parents had five children, Gaetano (Guy), Joseph, Mary (that's me), Laura and John.

Our last name is Andali and my father was from San Giovanni in Fiore, (pedraro).
