Dear Nana,
You are sadly missed yet I know how happy you are with Grandpa now!
Thank you for being the example of "How to Persevere" in life. 99% of the people I meet couldn't make it in life-like you did! Often I picture that I am like you, tough & tougher yet able to still see beauty in what is around me.
Thank you for sharing the little bit of sparkle with me when I was a young girl & tomboy and be an inspiration for me to enjoy being a girl, whatever you had you always knew how to wear it right and looked like a movie star to me.
Thank you for telling me that I deserve to be treated right by a man when I was older!
The small fascination with jewelry and all of your gifts from many years ago, has led me to have a wonderful hobby that helps me relieve stress and gives me a great outlet to help others by teaching them.
I remember you always giving-giving-giving to other people and now I see what great joy there is to giving to others, whether the medium is jewelry I have made, a kind word, some good advice and always as you have done-giving everyone you meet a smile:)
Thank you for everything Nana!
Love Always,
Christina

I will always remember the day when you cleared out the living room to practice the tango with your instructor. I stayed up all night listening to the music. I will miss you.
Love,
Your Brother Joe
We have many good times to remember.

Dear Mom, I will miss you every day till we're together again. You were always strong yet feminine, consistent and kind, loyal and true - a wonderful example of what a mother should be.
All your wonderful little sayings help me through the day: You can do anything you set your mind to, Don't cry over spilled milk, Forget about it, Tomorrow is a new day.
I'll always remember how you loved to dance and sing. When we were little you'd sing songs to us like - "Beautiful Baby" and "It's a Sin to Tell a Lie". You asked your great grandchildren to learn many songs for you like "Ave Maria" and "Crazy" and you loved to hear them sing.
I know you'll keep watching over us from heaven. We will all still sing for you. I love you. Angela
