    Emma Nicolia was a close friend of my Grandmother, Lucia Argenzio. I often went with my grandmother to visit Emma. My aunt, Gloria Argenzio Ferramosca, was named after Gloria Nicolia (Woodward). Gloria was a lifelong friend of both my father and my aunt. I have fond memories of all of them. Paddy Argenzio West

    My Aunt Gloria was always my favorite, from the bacon sandwiches that Grandma made and she continued to ham biscuits, Thanksgiving dinners and weekend stops in Richmond to see Aunt G. Taught me piano, played "The Sting", always a cool lady and great Aunt. Robert, Steven and me had much fun in the "play room over the utility room" and Aunt G was always there with soda, pretzels, ice cream and fun. She embraced my four children and Nicolette, always was ready for us to "drop in" and always had something for everyone. She had the longest black hair I ever saw and the biggest, brightest smile. She was there for me when my father, her brother, passed with my Uncle John right by her side to make sure "nephew Michael" stayed on the straight and narrow: purple Schwinn bike, cool 63 Impala SS, singing in the choir at St Pauls... I miss you already. Love Michael Nicolia
