The day was bright and I had to wait until the sun moved to get the image I came to see again:
This is one of the most unique monuments I’ve ever seen.
On the side (with the photo) it says:
1915 Palmina Cotroni 1997
.1928 Michel Cotroni 1986
.........Expoux de ..................(husband of)
....Mariette Rondeau
When I looked the names up on the Internet, I found Cotroni was Canada’s largest Mafia family. Palmina being the sister to the Godfather (Vincenzo) and Michel her younger brother (who stayed out of the Mafia business). Now I wish I had read the surrounding stones. Even tried to capture it in black & white.

Without repeating the stones I showed you before (TravelsWithAuntieM Jan 2009) here are more images from Canada:
I've also seen this one in New York City, which isn't that far away and could be the same stone cutter. And there was a similar one in Colma, CA.
He looks like someone from Disneyland's Haunted House.
This one looks like one of the images from 2000, only with the photo missing from the frame. I had to study them both closely to notice the hand placement was different.








This one also looks similar to a 2000 image, only this one still has it's forefinger.To view more of my cemetery images: EnfocusGallery.com
