Connie & Johnny - Recollections

Over the years, people have kept in touch with family and friends via visits, phone calls, cards, letters and more recently e-mails or text messages. We don't intend to abandon these ways of keeping in touch, However, we have come to the conclusion if we want to be on the same page as those close to us, i.e. our seven children, their spouses and the twelve grandchildren, we should launch a personal Internet blog where family and friends can see what we are up to. Enjoy! Connie and John

Roccanova Cousins' Reunion

We girls had not all been together since a Roccanova Family Reunion at Edie's in 1987. So from April 9th to the 12th, 2010, we gathered at Connie's in Palm Beach Gardens Florida. John was kind enough to leave us girls and stay with friends.

Mary Roccanova Catello, Joan Roccanova Nova, Connie Roccanova Kerwick-Kearns, Mary Margaret Lena Gerbes, Edie Talmadge Irwin, Maryann Roccanova Ferdinando and Marylyn Talmadge Carey.

We sat around and caught up with each others lives and families. Three of us live in Florida, one in Georgia and three in New York.

There were walks in the preserve, around PGA National and through a Green Market

We ate a lot, and had a few glasses of wine. Dinner at home the first night, out to eat the second and on the last night, Aunt Jo Roccanova...... (Joan and Mary's Mom), her sister and Mary, Maryann and Connie's husbands joined us for a wonderful dinner of paella and sangria.
