Mum,
Happy Birthday. I miss you more than words can say. I always knew I'd never be the same after you had to go. And I still don't know where your Baby Girl is going to end up, but I am fighting the good fight. You always will be the best thing that ever happened to me. I love you with all my heart.

John, Beth, Timmy & Kim,
Your Mom was the GREATEST person I knew. When I was growing up I would always look at her and think how cool she was and that I wanted to be just like her when I grew up (mission accomplished). She was always there for me whenever I needed someone to talk to or just sit and hang out with her. I miss her so much. I know that my Dad made sure she got up there o.k. The neighborhood will not be the same without her.

Miss Beth, Tim, Kim, and John,

I always felt special when I walked through your front door and was greeted with a big "Hello Honey" and when I walked out there was a hug and an "I love you". Your mom had so much love in her that she would treat everyone like they were her own.

I will always remember her special dinners, the way she would decorate a table, her generosity and kindness, those beautiful blue eyes, how much she loved her family and the way she made me feel a part of it.

Thank you for sharing your mom with me. I miss her.

Love
W

Beth and family. I am so very sorry to hear about your mom's passing. She was sweet and kind and my mom and are enjoyed her company so very much when we went on the cruise 2 years ago. We were bleesed to have done that with her. The day on the beach when she got the red sox chant going when were surrounded by yankees fans will be one of my fondest memories. What a hot ticket. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. She will bw missed.

As time goes by I realize the importance of family and friends, caring and loving for one another. In part I owe this to your mom, no matter how she was feeling she would always sincerely ask me how I am; she always put me first, as she did everyone. I pray I can be half the person as she. Her smiling eyes would light up the darkest room while her contagious laugh would get everyone laughing. Just the thought of her smile makes me smile. Your mom has left such an everlasting impression in my life. She will be missed, never forgotten and always in my heart.

Sincerely with All My love,

Bob (Dirty Man)
