Tombstone Tuesday -- Masssara
This is the headstone of my step-great-grandparents Joseph and Adelina Massara.
Jospeh died long before I was born, but I was five years old when Adelina passed away one month after her 90th birthday.
I remember her being a very tiny women with little to no hair, who wore a bandanna on her head and didn't speak a word of English. Although my step-father said she did speak English when he was growing up, but as she aged she reverted to speaking only in Italian.
