We all knew she was a fighter, and she blew us all away...

But as of around 9:48PM on Tuesday February 19th, my grandmother has passed away.

We knew this was going to happen ever since that first night in the hospital, and I think it has softened the blow for everyone, but it by no means makes it easy. It happened after she kicked everyone out of her hospital room for the night, we think she wanted to wait until no one was around.

We all loved my grandmother, and she lived a full 86 years of life, but now it's time for her to be with her husband again.

At the request of my mother, I will be playing in my hockey game Thursday night. She will be there with my father, along with my brother and sister and their spouses, and maybe my aunt and uncle.

For the first time this year I play a game, not for myself or my team, but for my family.. for my grandmother.



We love you and will miss you Connie, but we've kept you to ourselves long enough. Be at peace, and we know you don't want us to make a fuss, just know that you are loved.. and give grandpa a hug and kiss for us.



R. I. P. Mrs. Concetta Marone-Francavilla



EDIT: Edited to note that we won this game 5-2. Not happy about it oddly enough, but I won't rant about this bullshit game here.
