Some know by now that the Sciandri family experienced a tragic and unexpected loss this week, still feeling like it hasn’t really all sunk in yet. Pia Sciandri was Gino’s Godmother and Gino grew up with their family (Dave, Pia, Dino, Julie, and Tony) across the street from their South San Francisco home. PIa was fun-loving, energetic, always warm and smiling and brought an infectious laugh with her wherever she went. Words really aren’t enough at this time. She will truly be missed by many, but I know her family will do all they can to help her memory live on. I love you Pia, we love you. Godspeed.
