Leontina M Bernard Holly A Villella Dolores J Chiappazzi on Mother's Day in the 1980s
On Mother's Day sometime in the 1980s, my Grandmother and Mother and I drove to Northeast, PA and had dinner at Bova's Italian Restaurant. On the way back to town, we visited Erie Cemetery to see the azalea and rhododendron garden. Lucky us, a friendly gray-striped kitty cat joined our picture taking group. A passerby took this picture of three generations. Each of us had different spaghetti sauce recipes and it could be a bit difficult sometimes navigating generational and personality differences. Nevertheless, love always triumphs and among the three here was love aplenty!

John (Jack) was married to Louisa Leontine Rolland in Guernsey, Channel Islands in 1918 and they had one daughter. (Violet Augustine Louisa Bernard - born Jersey 1920). Jack and Violet and his parents emigrated to Melbourne in 1927 without Louisa - it is not known why or what happened to her. John and family initially lived in Irymple, with his younger brother Joseph who had emigrated a couple of years earlier. After one family dispute in the late 1930s, Violet ran away and it is unlikely she saw her father again more than once (after her first child was born), if at all. After a further family dispute in 1938/39 John and his brother never saw each other again. John (Jack) and Virginia apparently married in 1944, and lived in Footscray until his death. They had no children. His father John (Jean) lived with them until he died in 1954. Last census records for Virginia indicate that she still lived in the same place until 1980. No further records yet found. I am very keen to find photos of Jack, John or Virginia and any further information.
