Merry Christmas Nana...

I miss you so much. I'm really confused as to where you are. I guess I wont really know until I'm there myself. I hope, somehow you know that I think about you everyday.

Today is Christmas, and its not the same without you. I will be at the cemetery today, with some flowers. If there is a such thing as a spirit.. please be with me today.

I will miss you and love you forever..

Love,

Dear Grandma,
We have shared so many wonderful memories together and we were truly blessed that you were in our lives.
It's so sad and unfortunate that this past year, you had to endure so much suffering. You have proven to me how you don't have to be blood related to love someone like they were your own family.
Everything you predicted came true in the end, just like you said it would. I wish Tommy and I could have respected your last wishes, but some of those wishes were beyond our control. Please forgive us... I know you are resting peacefully now, and someday we will be reunited again in heaven. Until then, please watch over us.
We feel your love everyday Grandma.

With love,

Dear Nana,

Over the three years that I knew you, you made an everlasting impression on me. Good vibes were always in the air when you were around and you made me smile every time I saw you. You meant so much to all of us and it won't be the same without you. I especially know that Sam looked up to you so much and I believe that you played a big part in shaping her into the person she is. You lived a very long life, and although you're no longer with us you'll always be in our hearts. Rest in peace Nana.

With love,

Don

I was always so much taller than her!

Dear Nana,
It's hard for me to imagine life without you. You have been such an inspiration to me and an amazing role model to all of your children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.

I will never forget my last memory with you in the hospital. It was one of your better days and I am so grateful that I had gotten to visit. I came with my mother and Aunt Pam and you were asking me about college and I will never forget when you were reading Aunt Pam's t-shirt, which was for the Brain Injury Association. You were thanking Aunt Pam for everything she had done for you and telling her how much she truly meant to you. This was such a wonderful memory and I am so happy I was able to share it with you.

I'll never forget the advice you gave me about drinking orange juice and eating bananas every day to live a healthy life!

You are loved so much and everyone will miss you so much. Rest in peace. I love you!

Dearest Grandma,

I love you and will miss you forever. The memories that I have of you will always remain in my heart. You were always there for me when I was young and as I have grown older. I am so grateful that you spent your last Thanksgiving with me and my family; it was a day I will never forget. It comforts me to know that you and Grandpa are finally together and looking down on us. I am glad that you are now at peace. I will always love you and will never forget you.

I love you

Dearest Nana,
Although it is extremely hard to come to terms with the fact that I will never see you again, I know that you will always be in my heart. I want to thank you for always being there for me, for showing your love unconditionally.
My sister and I will cherish the memories we had with you forever. You truly were a big impact on our lives. I feel that you were the only person in the family that held everyone together, and it's sad that you're gone.
You lived a wonderful 95 years, and I know that you're in a better place now, with your husband and siblings.
You always told me that I will be re-paid for everything I did for you. Nana, I just wish that you look down upon me and stay with me in spirit. I will miss you so much.

I love you with all my heart Nana Banana..

Love always,
Samantha

Although I hardly got to know Frances...I know what a great woman she was by knowing her family...although it is always sad to lose a great person in life...it is always wonderful to know that they are in a far greater place now!

I Love You Nana

Nana,

You meant more to me than words could ever express. Although my heart is broken you have left us, I take comfort in knowing you are in a beautiful place, with God and your Husband.

I believe that every person, in their own unique way, creates a legacy in their lifetime by which others can live by, long after that person has left us. My Great-Grandmother has truly created a legacy to uphold...family comes first and LOVE is unconditional.

I was lucky enough to be loved, nurtured and mentored by her. I will forever cherish my memories of her and be grateful for every moment we shared.

Nana, you can look down upon me from heaven and know that I personally accept the incredible honor and responsibility of carrying on your traditions and love in all that I do. You have created your own dynamic legacy of love, faith, family, integrity, and joy.

It is now your time to rest and know that the world is a better place for the legacy you've created and the love you have given us.

I Love You,
Jamie Lee

Dearest Mom,
You will be in our hearts forever.
We know how much you loved each and every member of the family with all your heart and soul. Family was the center of your very being; and for this we will be eternally grateful.

We are at peace knowing that you are
reunited with Daddy after 40 long years. Oh what a wonderful reunion that must have been!!

We will miss you terribly until we are all reunited again.

Thank you for everything from the bottom of our very grateful hearts.

My Grandmother was an extradionary woman. Our Family was fortunate and blessed to have had her in our lives. She is now at peace and reunited with my Grandfather, Alphonse Barone, the love of her life. I will miss her terribly.
