Dear Vivi, Jimmy, & Holly,
Looking back, I always appreciated Arima's calm, patient demeanor. I'm sure she was a gifted teacher. I know you will all miss her greatly. Though I haven't seen you in a while, my heart goes out to you. It is times like these that it is difficult being in Florida. May God bless you. Love, Sean Murphy (& family)
Vivi, Jimmy, and Holly...so sorry to hear of cousin Arima's passing. I had such a nice visit with her three years ago when I came to Stafford. She was a great influence in all of our lives. My thoughts are with you. Cynthia (Panciera) Kroeger
DEAR VIVI AND FAMILY--IT WAS WITH GREAT SADNESS THAT I LEARNED OF ARIMA'S PASSING. MY MEMORIES OF HER ARE MANY AND RICH. PERHAPS MOST IMPORTANT, SHE WAS A VERY STRONG SUPPORTER OF EDUCATION AND SHE WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN MY OWN ENDEAVORS IN THAT REGARD. SHE TOOK ME AROUND TO COLLEGES AND ARRANGED FOR INTERVIEWS, THUS OPENING UP POSSIBILITIES FOR THE FUTURE. I WILL ALWAYS BE GRATEFUL FOR THAT.
SECONDLY, I REMEMBER HER GENEROUS HOSPITALITY AT HER "COTTAGE" ON CAPE COD. MANY A DELIGHTFUL SUMMER DAY WAS SPENT THERE WITH HER AND HER DAD, KNOWN TO ME AS "UNCLE JAMES".
FINALLY, THERE ARE SO MANY FOND MEMORIES STEMMING FROM JUST BEING A MEMBER OF THIS LARGE AND COLORFUL FAMILY OF NORTHERN ITALIAN DESCENT. ARIMA'S MOM, "AUNT ANNIE" TO ME, WAS THE SENIOR MEMBER OF THE CLAN, AND MY OWN GRANDMOTHER'S OLDEST SISTER. ARIMA WAS ESPECIALLY RESPECTED BECAUSE SHE WAS THE BENEFICIARY OF A HIGHER EDUCATION AND KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT FINANCIAL MATTERS.
VIVI, MY THOUGHTS ARE WITH YOU, JIMMY AND HOLLY, AND I WISH YOU COMFORT IN THIS TIME OF LOSS.
SINCERELY, JOANNE (PANCIERA) MITCHELL
