Frank Fassi Postcard from Sicily Translation Requested

Hoping someone might be able to help translate the attached postcard. Frank Fassi was my maternal grandmother's half brother who passed in 1940, 21 years before I was born so I never met him. In fact, I have little information about his life and to have found a post card written to him from someone ...

Re: Christmas card translation help requested...

Thank you mmogno!!!

I fear the years are going by too quickly and the window to return to Italy and be with Vittorio and his family is closing, so these letters are very meaningful and helps stay connected. Thank you again.

Translation needed from San Giuseppe

Over a dozen years ago, I was able to see where my paternal Grandfather was born and met countless relatives that until that visit to Italy, I didn't know existed. Since then, several letters are exchanged between myself and a distant cousin, Vittorio each year. Unfortunately, I don't speak/read ...

PippoM...

Thank You!!!! I was born after my Grandmother's brother, Angelo, passed and I don't recall him ever being discussed when I was a child as....probably because most conversations occurred in Italian. Thanks a gain for your help.

Handwritten Italian letters to English needed

Hi,
