Eulogy for Giovanna Busacca Randone - by David Fanslau:
Giovanna, most affectionately known to her husband of 50 years, Domenico, as "Joannie" - Mom to Fran, Lucia & Gianmario - Nonna to Matthew, Joshua, Dylan, & Ashley. Although I was the son-in-law, Mom always treated me like a son, and part of her family.
Giovanna was extremely proud of her three children - Fran, Lucia, & Gianmario, and their accomplishments. And, of course, none of her grandchildren were ever "fresh" in her view. Matthew, Joshua, Dylan, & Ashley could do nothing wrong. "Nonna" personified the role of "grandmother", from the day that Matthew and Joshua were born, Mom arrived at the hospital in Voorhees, and immediately took over - giving the boys their bottles, holding them, cradling them. Next, Dylan arrived, three week later. Mom went from anxiously wanting a grandchild, to becoming a Nonna times three in just three weeks. The following year, Ashley arrived, becoming the princess of the family. Nonna was extraordinarily proud of each of her four grandchildren, whether it was Matthew and Joshua earning Cho Dan rank (black belt) in karate, or sports or academic awards; Dylan earning his black belt in karate; or Ashley in dance. Nonna was always their biggest supporter.
Recently, Nonna was Joshua's sponsor for Confirmation, with special help, supporting Joshua and Matthew in their growth in their faith in the Roman Catholic Church. Now, Nonna will be the special Angel protecting Matthew and Joshua, and will be a bright light at Dylan's upcoming Confirmation this spring. Giovanna will be the Angel protecting Dad, Fran, Lucy, Gianmario, Matthew, Joshua, Dylan, and Ashley, as she earned her wings immediately!
Mom was very close to her sister, Antoinette, both living in Brooklyn, raising their children together for decades. I've enjoyed hearing many stories of the fun times that the Randone's and Piscitello's had, whether it was a beach trip to Coney Island, or celebrating holidays together. And, with the advent of technology FaceTime, Mom was able to see and speak with her sister, Maria and her husband, Sam Casabene; and her sister Enza and her husband, Carmelo Divita, regularly. No longer would the distance between New Jersey and Melbourne Australia seem so large! Mom was especially happy last October, welcoming her first nephew, Tony Casabene to America, for his first visit. Although the Casabene and Divita families are in Australia, and the Randone and Piscitello familes are in America, all four families regularly communicate via Facebook.
Mom enjoyed many beach vacations with us, and especially her grandchildren. Mom, of course, was always quick to buy souvenirs, rides & games, miniature golf, and ice cream on the boardwalk in Ocean City. We enjoyed cruises with Mom to the Bahamas, and to Bermuda. We are grateful to have had a fun trip to Costa Rica with Nonna in August of 2018, where Nonna was delighted to see monkeys on the beach of the Pacific Ocean.
Now, we are left with memories to cherish. Although we would rather have Joannie - Mom - Nonna here with us for many more years and life milestones, we know that she is enjoying eternal life in heaven with Mary, Mother of God, with her Lord and Savior - Jesus Christ, and all the Saints and her loved ones. To us, Giovanna was our Saint here on earth. Mom did so much for us, so much for her grandchildren, and so much for her beloved Domenico.
Giovanna - la Madre di tutte...
We all will always fondly hear her say - Boh - non lo so - mi Madre.
We will forever Love Giovanna, and we will cherish her spirit and feel her protection with us each day forward.

Giovanna will be remembered in our prayers every day at Mass as we smile and thank God for the memories we share of your beautiful and loving Mom and Nonna. Giovanna lit up the room with her generous heart every time we had the honor of being in her company. David, Fran, Matthew, Joshua, please know that you are very loved. Giovanna will be remembered with Masses said for her with our love. Nancy, Bruce, and family. Eternal rest, grant unto Giovanna O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon her. May her soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
