As a grade 5 student at James MacDonald School, Emily was an over achiever that was well liked by all. She had many friends who she loved dearly and opened her arms to the one’s that were less fortunate. Emily’s smiling face always lit up the room, and the warmth of her embrace made anyone who she surrounded feel loved. Emily had the voice of an angel.

Azzadine Anna Porto
September 27, 1995 - December 22, 2005
It is with immense sadness that the Porto and Spallacci family announce the sudden loss of Vivian, 43, Francesco, l3, and Azzadine, l0, as a result of a tragic car accident in icy conditions while returning home from a hockey game. Unfortunately also perished in the accident is their niece and cousin, Emily Porto. Vivian graduated with her B. A. in Humanities at McMaster University and had her teaching certificate from Brock University. After a short stint in teaching and some part time work in real estate Vivian went on to establish her business with her sister Diane at Ottawa Gift Centre and continued to build the family business at Discount Fabric Mart. Vivian was a special human being, beautiful outside and in, with a caring and sensitive nature; always ready to assist in any situation and to put others above herself. She had a fun loving, positive spirit and adventurous side and loved spending time with her family and friends. She was a loving and supportive wife and a dedicated mother, extremely devoted to her children and encouraged them to do their best with her outmost support. She was a passionate hockey mom, constantly attending all her children's games and extremely committed to Francesco and the pursuit of his dream. Her vitality, strength and generosity will truly be missed. Francesco was a bright, accomplished grade 8 student at Hillfield Strathallan College with an affinity for math. He was a talented athlete playing strong defensively in triple A hockey with the Hamilton Junior Bulldogs. He also played soccer at school and at Glanbrook. He was always smiling and ready to help. He made his parents proud on a daily basis in a humble manner. Azzadine had a quiet unassuming strength that helped her to survive as the youngest with three older brothers. A Grade 5 Student at Hillfield Strathallan College, she was caring, kind and cheerful and loved spending time with her cousins and friends. She was creative and artistic but at the same time a powerhouse on the ice and on the soccer fields playing house league hockey and soccer in Glanbrook. The spitting image of her mother she also had her easy going nature and generous heart. Left behind is their devoted husband and father, Sam and their loving children and brothers Riccardo and Amadeo. Also grieving are parents and grandparents, Anna and Adriano Spallacci, Mother in law and grandmother Elena Porto and predeceased grandfather Riccardo Porto. Siblings, aunts and uncles, Diane and Louis Scattolon, Frank and Luisa Spallacci, Rudi and Anna Spallacci, and Loren and Sandra Spallacci, and sisters and brothers in law and aunts and uncles Emilia and Leo Cascioli and Rocco and Laurie Porto.
