My little girls and I planted two of Rose's tomato plants in our little kitchen garden by the porch. In the past I've made a point to plant oregano, basil, peppers and tomatoes in this spot in honor of my little brother, Steve, who passed a away four years ago. It seems very fitting for my two little girls to plant these positive tomatoes here in honor of their crazy, kick-ass guardian angel, especially because he loved to cook Italian food. Steve was a positive spirit that, even at the very end of his life, left you with a smile. Maybe eating these tomatoes will make you smile, too. We can't wait for the tomato party!

Great pictures and a sweet story!
I love that two of the one hundred positives are part of the way you are honoring your brother and uncle. This is beautiful, Cheryl. I am smiling and crying at the same time. Thank you.
So did Steve have any favorite recipes, or special dishes he liked to make?
My Grandma Capezzuti handed down her home-made spaghetti sauce recipe to Steve, but I'm not sure I would have the technical skill to follow it, even if I could find it written down somewhere; maybe I'll do a little research this summer to find it and challenge myself.
