Hi Mom,

Miss you more than you know. Remember the song about "the guy with the umbrella" that you sang the day before you died? I always told you that you had extra clout with God so say extra prayers for us. Miss you and see you on the other side. XXXOOOO-Terry

Ma,

As we approach the second anniversary of your death, I want you to know you are still the center of our universe--you surround the entire Page Family in spirit. We miss you so much. You would be proud of Michael and how far he's come. He is now ready for a new independent living structure outside of Brunswick and we could not have come this far without you. We miss you and your funny ways and sense of humor, but we know you are right there with us. Thank you for the signs from heaven, we know they are your doing. Please continue to guide us through prayer. Some day, we'll be with
you on the other side Ma.

Love you always --

Raymond Page

Mom, We close out this guest book soon, and with this I'll say, that I have peace because I truly feel your presence very day. My biggest fear at your passing was not having you to comfort me in times of fear and anguish. The funny part is I feel your presence as much today as I did all my life. Rest in peace, I pray I am worthy to be with you again some day. Pray for us. Sandy

Mary Ann , Sending our sympathy to you and your family. Your mom was a great lady, my prayers are with you at this time.

February 5, 2014

Dear Mom,

I love you. You were my best friend. You were part of my soul. When your soul was freed, a part of my soul went with you. I hope they reconnect again when I am ready to go home too. My soul would never be the same without you.

I miss you so much and so does Abigail. But don't worry, the family is taking care of me and Abigail is making me happy.
You were my greatest companion that I could ever have.

Mom don't worry, I am finally on my own thanks to the family. I love you so much and I miss you and I'll be on my way to see you again.

Love,
Michael

A day does not go by that I don't think of you! What an inspiration you have been and continue to be. I remember the stories you read to us such as "Little Orphan Annie" and the prayers you taught us and said with us daily. How lucky we all were to have you for a mother. As I told you just before you died, "you are the best mother in the world." You did everything right and more. They say that before we are born we are angels that pick our parents. We surely picked the perfect mother. You were so selfless; always thinking of others and praying for everyone. What gifts of love and selflessness you gave us. You were truly a gift from heaven. Although I wish you were still with us, I celebrate with you this new journey with God. May God continue to use you as an instrument of peace and love to help all of us here on this earth. I bet you are taking care of all the babies in heaven. It's hard to believe, that you left us a year ago, but I know you are walking with us daily! I miss talking to you mom and sharing. Say hello to dad for me and St. Theresa. I look forward to seeing you again someday.

Raymond Page

February 3, 2014

Mom, I never had the words when you passed to expressed how I felt. Your death was so peaceful it reflected the way you lived. I will say today that not a day passes that you are not in my thoughts. My loss at your passing is beyond words so I ask you continue your prayers we have a way to go yet. Now please rest in peace you have done your work well. All will be taken care here. I miss and love you every day. Sandy

February 2, 2014

Dear Mom,
How I miss you! As Michael is always saying...you were my best friend.
I found a note that you had left in one of your books. You wrote, "Go out with humility and a servant's heart working to heal a bruised world."
Mom, this bruised world will always miss you and I will always love you. - Patty

February 2, 2014

Hello my mother in heaven....as we approach the one year anniversary of your death and I am able to think more clearly, I am reflecting on the awesome person you were. Your loving and kind ways; your selflessness, and your compassion for everyone you came in contact with, especially the underdog. You had the best sense of humor - always making us laugh, even in the midst of the suffering you endured from your fall. I love you with all my heart and soul and will keep you in my heart forever. You made us all better people and I thank you. I miss you so much but I find comfort in talking to you through prayer. Rest in peace my dear sweet mother. Until we meet again.

Doreen

Page Family,
We will miss Florence greatly. She always had a bright convesation to share, a few questions to ask and a few answers to give. She always asked how Corchran was doing, and prayed for him regularly, and helped us pray for any of our family or friends who were in need of it.
We will miss the summer afternoon quiet times under the maple tree, and know that we cared for her as much as she cared for us.
She will be missed.

She was truly a wonderful person and neighbor! She will be missed by all, sitting outside in her chair in the nice weather. We will miss the smile, waves, phone calls, and all the prayers she sent every day for our family. I'm sure as an angel now, she is still watching over all of us. Sadness for us, but peace for her.

Love and prayers.

A wife, a mother, a grandma too,
This is the legacy we have from you.
You taught us love and how to fight,
You gave us strength, you gave us might.
A stronger person would be hard to find,
And in your heart, you were always kind.
You fought for us all in one way or another,
Not just as a wife not just as a mother.
For all of us you gave your best,
Now the time has come for you to rest.
So go in peace, you've earned your sleep,
Your love in our hearts, we'll eternally keep.
