I am so very sorry for your loss. My name is Vito Garraffa, from Palermo, italy. I found this sad page casually, i’m italian, and my english is very, very poor.
But i’ve just read the story of Jacqueline, and… i was born in February 28, in 1970… ! Yes, i understand that is only a sad coincidence, but i will pray for her, also if i’m not cattolic, but be shure that i’ll do it !
Hope that you’ll undestand.-
