    • Found Camilla's son, Salvatore, in the gravesite that the office at St. Lawrence Cemetery gave me for her gravesite sect.C Ave.6 Lot 83. Never found her gravesite even with help from the maintenance supervisor at the cemetery.Gerri Goodwin, Rose Parente's granddaughter, said Giovanni & Camille are buried at St. Lawrence about 2-3 rows back from the tall black fence that you can see from the Parente's plot at St. Lawrence (this must be the fence that separates the cemetery from Yale Bowl). Walked the whole area & could not find their gravesite; will continue to search for them.
