Announcement of Jay and Laura’s wedding
Enjoy this note from Laura about the wedding ring she wears today:
“I do not know if you know this, but my wedding ring is Nana Betty’s wedding ring. It is a simple white gold band with little flowers stamped on it. Jada gave it to Betty at their wedding in 1942. My mom saved it, although I never knew. She showed it to me when I was shopping for a wedding band. Of course, I prefered Betty’s ring to anything I could buy! and it just happened to complement my engagement ring. So, 60 years after Jada and Betty wed, Jay gave me Betty’s ring during our ceremony in New Jersey. I remember showing the ring to Uncle Ray in San Diego and he really loved that I wear it.”
Beautiful Photo of Laura
Awesome picture!
Albert “Jada” Ciccone obituary.
Here is the obituary for Jada that provides a good picture of who he was, what he accomplished and what was important to him. The note below is from Carol sharing a line from an editorial in the Nutley Sun:
Art, I found my copy of the June 21, 1984 editorial that Frank Orechio wrote in Jada’s honor for the Nutley Sun. It includes this line: His wife, Kathryn, has lost her best friend; his three daugthers a loving father and his three sisters a brother who cotributed to so much of their joy and happiness.
