One day in September after a chemo treatment at Dr Barth’s, Cristina was feeling a bit hungry. Her son Steven suggested stopping off at a quaint breakfast place called “Haute Cakes” near her condo. As you can see, she had a great appetite despite the chemotherapy.

On April 26th, 2013, the three month anniversary of her passing away, her son Steven went back to the same café to enjoy the fond memory and some delicious Orange-Ricotta pancakes with a (small?) side order of the “American Scramble”.

The day after her 70th birthday on May 10th, 2013, her son Steven and her nieces Paola and Michelle returned for the pancakes and good memories of “Tia Gigi”
