A Sister I Never Knew

Today is the day my sister, Ingrid Sonia, was born.  Sadly, she had Down's and a bad heart, and in those days they didn't have the sophisticated surgeries they do today.  The doctors said it was a matter of time before her heart would give out.  My mother took her to Sicily, to her family, for a few months.  Ingrid died in Catania, Sicily, and is at the Cemetery of Catania.
