Aunt Ann sure did always have a great big smile on her face! And she sure did Love Da Bears!! I’m deeply sorry to hear that she passed away. My thoughts and prayers go out to her and her entire family. She will be greatly missed.
Thank you Johnny for your heartfelt words.
Thanks Little John. Big hugs from the Giovingo family.
I love you Mom. I’ll miss all the times we spent together listening to music, laughing and reminiscing. You taught me to find joy and happiness in simple things and you always saw beauty in everyone you met. I’m sorry you had to leave too soon.
Mom,
Heard Elvis in the car today! Will miss us dancing together… From the polka to the twist , from spinning to dipping and everything in between. I know how happy you were when the music came on. Keep on dancing .
Love you
I love and miss my beautiful Mom so much! She was the most kindhearted and patient person on the planet. I’m so thankful that I was able to learn so much from her and especially how to be a wonderful Mom. Keep smiling, dancing and give a BIG hug to Dad!
“Old Time Rock And Roll”
Just take those old records off the shelf
I’ll sit and listen to ’em by myself
Today’s music ain’t got the same soul
I like that old time rock ‘n’ roll
Don’t try to take me to a disco
You’ll never even get me out on the floor
In ten minutes I’ll be late for the door
I like that old time rock ‘n’ roll
Still like that old time rock ‘n’ roll
That kind of music just soothes the soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old time rock ‘n’ roll
Won’t go to hear ’em play a tango
I’d rather hear some blues or funky old soul
There’s only one sure way to get me to go
Start playing old time rock ‘n’ roll
Call me a relic, call me what you will
Say I’m old-fashioned, say I’m over the hill
Today’s music ain’t got the same soul
I like that old time rock ‘n’ roll
Still like that old time rock ‘n’ roll
That kind of music just soothes the soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old time rock ‘n’ roll
