Colella Family Party 23 March 2021

On March 23, 2021 family members gathered in Florida to celebrate the visitation of my great aunt Phyl who was visiting from New York. We gathered at the beautiful home of JoAnne and Yankee for dinner, stories, laughter, and love. Be sure to scroll to the bottom for a lively video.

This is who was present and how we are related to one another:
