New Jersey. Mama Gili. as she was affectionately known. was being honored on Saturday October 22. 2005 for her faithful devotion to God. her community and humankind. She was the proud mother of five children. Helen. Florida. Claudia. Caesar and Joseph Jr.. and the "adoptive" mother to many people in the Orange community. She emigrated from Atripalda.
