How do you want to be remembered when you are gone? What kind of legacy will you leave behind? Gloria Talarico is the epitome of what love means and to be loved by so many for the their hard work and dedication to the community. The legacy that her father left: work hard, learn and be the best student you can be and don't forget family has been the ethos of her very being. I can't even put into words what this lady means to me. Her hug is the hug of so many women that came before me. Her love is the love of my ancestors. Her example is the example of her father. I just wish I had more time to talk to her for this episode. I thank her and love her so much more....

This episode is dedicated to the memory of Gloria's father Archangelo Marchione, Gloria's father!

“When you lose someone, they take a bigger place in your heart, not a smaller one. Every day it grows, because you don't stop loving them. You wish you could talk to them. You need their advice. But life doesn't always give us what we need, and it's difficult.”
