Obituary

Antoinette Lombardi-Trask ("Amy"), our kind-hearted angel of a mother passed very bravely due to complications of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder (COPD) and dementia on December 7, 2008. Amy was born on June 14, 1931 in Piermont, NY to Louis and Carmella Lombardi. Holding her hands while she passed were her three sons, Martin of Bloomington, IN, Walter of San Francisco, CA and Paul of Columbus, OH. Sleeping at her side was her dog, Nicholina. Amy graduated from Tappan Zee High School in 1949. After a divorce late in life, she blossomed by becoming qualified to work as a Certified Nursing Assistant, learned to drive, bought herself a car and acquired a bevy of dear friends she so fondly cherished in San Diego and San Francisco. Her sons are extremely honored and feel so privileged to have had a mother who set the finest example of kindness, honesty and uncommon inner strength, even in the face of death. In addition to her sons she is survived by her sisters Julia Flotard of Pearl River, NY, Eleanor Kline of Piermont, NY, six grand children and nine great-grand children. Her former husband, Walter Trask, resides in Bloomington, IN. Her dear daughter Amy Marie pre-deceased her in 1985. A celebratory Mass will be held at 9 AM Friday December 12 at the Mission Basilica San Diego de Alcala. Interment to follow at Holy Cross Cemetery, San Diego.
