1. Where and when were you born?

I was born December 12th 1961 in New York City.

2. Do you have siblings? If yes, tell us more.

My only brother Joey passed away at age 26 in February, 1990. We looked just a like, though he was 13″ taller. Our voices were very similar; grandma could never tell us apart on the phone. We were very close when we were little, and then again in our twenties. My daughter is named for him.

The only time I can remember being taller than Joey

3. What are your parents’ names?

Nickie & Annie

4. Did you (or do you) know all four of your grandparents?

I only knew my father’s mother who raised us after we lost our mother.<

My grandmother Josephine (1910 - 1993), my grandfather Joseph (1888-1961) & my favorite Uncle Peter (1943-1993) at his first communion.

5. Do have children? If yes, tell us about them. If no, do you want them?
I have one amazing daughter who just turned 25 this past week. She has been happily married for four years.

I have lived on Manhattan’s Upper West Side all my life.

7. Do you have cousins? If yes, are you or have you been close?

I know I have a few scattered about the country. My side of the family tended to be loners, so we were never close.

My husband was very close to my family. Unfortunately everyone is gone now, but we have great memories.
