About Alongi Protano Clan
2021 has been showing signs of life returning to a "new normal'"  We were able to gather for a memorial service for our beloved Annette Camilleri in August.  It was nice to be with family again, albeit under guarded conditions.
Aurora and David sold their Pocono house in early August.

October saw the passing of Irene Alongi on October 17, 2021.  She will be sorely missed, though her roaring laugh, big smile and loving ways will keep her alive in our hearts and minds.

On October 21, 2021 Alisa, Jerry and Rylie Romano welcomed the arrival of twin boys, Jake Robert and David Kane into their family.

On Novemeber 15, 2021 Frank Protano passed away.  Surrounded by family and friends, the celebration of his life recalled his love of family and friends, hosting festive dinners and fishing.  He will be missed, but his spirit and love will always be with us.  


2020 has been the year that wasn't!
