On the 15 year anniversary that we all lost you, the very last table I waited on paid me with a credit card. The last name was Reardon! THIS NEVER HAPPENS!!! I teared up and smiled because were the chances that this would happen on that day of all days. I see it as it being your subtle way of saying your still with us. I asked the guests if they had any relation knowing well enough they didnt but missing u kid. Just know that. I went to see you yesterday with sarah.. she had never been there and was pleased she finally was able to go. We all still love u...

February 22, 2019

You were and are still so special to me . You will always hold a piece of my heart . You brought so much love into my life.

As I sit here at your resting place it's hard to imagine that it's already been 13 years. I think of all the good times and memories we all made and it hurts so much to know you aren't here with us. I wonder where or what you would be doing now if we never lost you. As I see all of our friends and families grow and new memories made with out you here it breaks my heart to know your not here to enjoy it all. I know that you are here with us and get the best view from heaven but what all of us would do to see that smile again and get that hug just one more time!!! We live you Shane always and forever

Shane~
I have been dreaming about Gram for a few weeks now every night and when I mentioned this to a friend she said... "did your Mom love Christmas?" my answer was OH yes." So I bet that is why, due to Gram loving the whole family back in the day of getting together at her house, I could see the Love in her eyes
How she loved to see her Family together at the same time of year and would always say I wish Jeff could be here too with his family but waited for his call on the day. Hushed us All
Now without the two of you we have to make New Memories with the Love of thinking of You and Gram.
Give her a Big Christmas Hug up there for us ALL and we will all hug both of you In Our Hearts
Missing You Both
Love, Aunt Joanne
