Great Nana:
I remember when I was little, you were my babysitter before Betty and John were. I remember you left for almost a month, and I cried each night that entire month because I wanted to see you. Nana Jean found an old picture of you holding me. There was a note on the back written from my mom saying it was from me. It said: "I'm crying because you went away for a month. But now you're back, and soon I'll be smiling again. Love Molly." You always used to make me smile. Even though you're gone, whenever I think about you, I'll be smiling. I wish you were here with us. we miss you and Brady cries every night, knowing that you're gone. As I get older, I anticipate seeing you again with the whole family. I miss you so much Great Nana.
Love Your Great Grandaughter Molly

Nana,
We will miss you more then these words can say.... You are the best, most loving, and caring grandmother a grandson could ask for... It hurts me so much that I will not be able to see you, hug you, kiss you, laugh with you, and cry with you... but it gives me great pleasure to know that you are with Gramps & Uncle Georgie doing those things.. I also know from the bottom of my heart, that when you were sick, you were still aware that we were all there loving you and praying for you. Don't forget to let Gramps know I still don't like the taste of his denture water... I love you so much Nana and one last thing... Top of the morning to you Nana and the rest of the day to meself...

Lots of times I read to her
Lots of times I slept in her bed
Lots of times she helped me pray
Lots of times I heard her say
"Grandmothers are to love"
Lots of times she tucked me in
Lots of times she spelled to me
Lots of times she helped me out
Lots of times I heard her say
"Grandmothers are to love"
Lots of times we got a tan
Lots of times we did some puzzles
Lots of times we lauged, played, learned together
So now even though her voice, doesn't shine through mine we both say together
"Grandmothers are to love"
And even though she won't say it again everytime we think of her,
We'll hear a happy ring in our ear
Saying, with many voices
"Grandmothers are to Love!"
Nana I love you so much and I wish I could be there to see you. But you'll always be in my heart. -Kerrie

I have known this family since I was a little girl when Donna and I became friends. My brother Vinny and Michael were best friends. During the years you were always someone very special to me. All the fun times I had at you house. Who would ever think I would marry your great-nephew and we would become family. That made me so happy to be part of your family. During the years you would always get mad at me for calling you Mrs. Brown and not Helen but you will always be Mrs. Brown to me because you were a big part of my childhood. I know that Jack is going to miss you because you held a very special place in his heart.
Remember all the good times. Jean. Kathy, Bobby, Donna & Mike you are so lucky to have this wonderful loving Mother, Nana and Friend that touched all our lives.

To my aunts children, and grand-and great-grand children, you have had the love of a great lady.
I have very happy memories of her, most at the time when I was a young girl babysitting for some of you older ones.
Time does go by so fast, but memories stay a life time.
With sadness,
Love,
Audrey

She alway made me feel welcome and loved. She gave me strength that came from her own experiences. It was that strength that carried me through one of the most difficult years of my life. I loved her deeply and will miss her dearly...
