Aida Callegari

I am sorry to hear of your Mother’s passing. She and my Mother (Catherine Tchinnis) have known each other all their lives. They were born within a month of each other and spent many hours in the carriages in front of the apartments while their Mothers talked together on the sidewalk. I believe they also continued their relationship at Hartley House. A settlement house in Manhattan. I have known Aida all of my life and actually called her Thea Aida, Greek for Aunt. She gave me my first bath! While we didn’t see each other a whole lot as I got older, she was always part of the family. My Mother and her would talk on the phone also. 2005 she and my Mother visited my husband and I in Cupertino, CA. They were so funny together, like sisters. We played Miniature Golf. They were so competitive. We also went to Yosemite. It was a wonderful visit. My husband had never met her before. He had so much fun serving them breakfast and listening to their reminiscences. The last few years after my Mother died we wrote to each other. I still have those letter and will keep them. My condolences to all the family. She had a wonderful full life. Love, Angel
