As most of you are aware, we lost the backbone of our village, Joann Garofolo-Vitola, on December 21, 2024.

Thankfully, Joann had a life insurance policy that covered the funeral expenses. However, there was not enough to cover the cost of a headstone.

Following the sad loss of our loving wife, mother, yia-yia, sister, and aunt, I have been asked to set up this page in response to many people kindly expressing wanting to support our family to help pay for a meaningful headstone, something beautiful and lasting that reflects who she was and the love she gave.

Any and all donations will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
