SHE HAD ALZEIMERS DISEASE, PARKISONS, BREATHING AND HEART PROBLEMS, HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE AND LONELYNESS.SHE SUFFERED A FALL IN THE HALLWAY AT HER HOME AND HIT HER HEAD AND UNFORTUNATLY DIED.SHE WASNT ABLE TO GET A PRIEST TO BLESS HER, WAS SENT TO BE CREMATED BY HER HUSBAND AND SON, HAD NO CATHOLIC MEMORIAL SERVICE AFTER HER DEATH AND HASNT BEEN BURIED AT ALL UP TO NOW.SHE WAS CREMATED WITH THE SAME CLOTHERS THAY FOUND HER WITH AT NIGHT.HER HUSBAND, MY FATHER JULIO CARATTINI ll, HASNT HAD AN OBITUARY PLACED IN THE NEWSPAPER AT ALL OR HER SON JULIO ( BUTCH) CARATTINI lll, AS OF TODAY NOV. 15, 2003.IN DEDICATION TO MY BEAUTIFUL, RELIGIOUS, WONDERFUL MOTHER AND FRIEND........I CALLED AND HAD PLACED AN OBITUARY IN HER NAME FOR THE FAMILY THAT TRULY LOVED, ADORED,LAUGHED, CRIED AND COULDNT GET ENOUGH OF MY MOTHER AND GRANDCHILDREN. I SPENT 3 HOURS WITH HER IN THE FUNERAL HOME WHERE SHE WAS BEING SENT BY HER SON, JULIO CARATTINI lll TO HAVE HER CREMATED. I SAW THAT SHE STILL HAD THE SAME OLD CLOTHES, NO SHOES, LONG TOENAILS, HAIR WAS DIRTY, BLOOD WAS STILL STUCK TO HER BODY AND HEAD. sHE HAD A CUT IN HER HEAD THAT WAS AN INCH LONG BEHIND HER EAR AND IT WAS STILL BLEEDING. I PRAYED THE ROSARY WITH HER, LAYED AND TALKED WITH HER, HUGGED AND KISSED EVERY PART OF HER BODY AND JUST LAYED TO TALK TO HER. SHE WAS MY MOTHER, FRIEND, GRANDMOTHER TO MY CHILDREN WHOM ARE THE OLDEST GRANDCHILDREN. WE MISS HER SO MUCH YOU CANT IMAGINE.SHE ADORED MY CHILDREN MORE THAN ALL THE OTHERS. THESE WERE LIKE HER BABIES.SHE ADORED THEM MORE THAN HER LIFE !!!! MOTHER SAT OFTEN WITH ME TO DO GENEALOGY AND TELL ME THE STORIES OF THE PAST.......1905-1930. SHE GAVE ME IN LIFE MANYYYYYYYYYY PICTURES OF HERSELF IN HIGH SCHOOL, ALBUMS,PICTURES OF HER FAMILY, ECT. WHICH I TREASURE AND LOVE MORE THAN ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD.THE VULTURES AS I CALL THEM............HER SON AND HIS KIDS WENT TO THE HOUSE AFTER HER DEATH TO STRIP THE HOUSE OF ALL AND STAY WITH ALL 0OF OUR REMEMBERANCES FROM YEARS OF TRAVEL AND PRESENT THAT ME AND MY CHILDREN GAVE HER IN LIFE. WITHING 2-3 DAYS OF HER DEATH ALMOST ALL IS GONE SOOOOOOO FAST. HE TOOK OVER MY FATHERS BOAT, JEEP ( THAT MY SISTER AND HER HUSBAND BOUGHT DAD), MONEY, TITLES, THE HOUSE, ALL BELONGINGS. I CALL THAT A REAL VULTURE IN THE HOUR OF DEATH OF MY MOTHER AND CANT DO ANYTHING BECAUSE IN THE MOMENTS OF ILLNESS, HE SOMEHOW CONVINCED THEM, BEING OLD AND HANDICAPPED TO GIVE HIM THEIR POWER OF ATTORNEY. HOW? DONT KNOW CAIUSE HE HAS A MENTAL HISTORY, DROPPED OUT OF THE ARMY, AND NEVER REALLY WORKED AFTER THAT. DIVORCED 4 TIMES AND REMARRIED FOR THE FIFTH TIME. MY DAD HAS HAD TO PAY HIS TRUCK $550-6600 A MONTH FOR YEARS ALREADY CAUSE HE NEVER WORKED UNTIL SOMEHOWWWWWWWWWW WAS ABLE TO COLLECT A CHECK FROM VETERANS WHICH STATES THAT HE IS MENTAL AND CANT WALK, PAIN. ECT. AND I AND MY SISTER AND MY CHILDREN HAVE NEVER EVER EVER SEEN HIM UNABLE TO WALK OR COMPLAIN OF ANY PAIN AT ALL. WE GUESS HE JUST DID A SHOWWWWWW TO FOOL THE VETERANS ADM. INTO HAVING THEM THINK HES SICK AND ISNT. HE CARRIED FURNITURE, LIFTS HEAVE WEIGHTS, GOES TO GYM, TRAVELS AND GETS 100% DISABILITY. EASY HUH? WHATS THE MYSTERY IN THIS?? HES A MONEY HOG AND SPEAKS ONLY TO PEOPLE WHOM ARE $$$$$.WE CALL THAT MAN A LOSER IN LIFE AND VULTURE WHO HAS TO WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO DIE TO INFLATE HIMSELF.

I HAVE SPOKEN TO MY MOTHER 3 HOURS DECEASED, BY HER SIDE AND THERE WILL BE JUSTICE IN THIS CASE CAUSE WHAT YOU DO ON THIS EARTH..........ONE PAYS IN LIFE. NOT DEATH.

Nanny, as we all called her, will be missed forever and in our hearts and prayers until the one day we will be reunited forever. Then no one can separate us ever again because she believed in the words "family forever." "Mother, please remember the promise you made to me if you were to leave with God and your ancestors one day. I will pray the rosary for you every night until the day I die and we are together again." We Love You So Very Much !!!!! Your Family.
