Nanni….
You left us this morning on Nov 12th, 2009 my amazing grandmother, and I will miss all the love and care you gave us for 88 years.  Your husband left you 20 years ago, yet you stayed true to him, and fought to find acceptance, living alone through your pain.  I have learned much from you, and will miss you so much.   I will dedicate these two Blackhawk  Technical College shows to you today,  and keep my commitment to this school, as you would want me to.  I will then fly to tell you in person how much I loved and learned from you.  You will forever be a part of my soul, and someone I love and look up to.

    Bernie,
    Your Nanni was an amazing woman and I know how much you loved her and will deeply miss her. I’m glad I got the chance to meet her; the woman who helped shape so much in your life! I’m sure she would have loved to see you on stage today and would have loved reading your words. I am deeply touched by your tribute. xoxo Mel
