Ellie’s Journal is a delightful read. Her caregiving skills were driven by her strong faith, her deep love and commitment to her mom. Our Italian heritage shines through with stories of her upbringing in a family rich in culture and humor. Not only will you learn from her journey but we are reminded to pause and cherish each stage along the way.
