Dear Grammie,
I just wanted to tell you how so very thankful and blessed I am to have gotten to be apart of your family and share so many good times and memories with you Grandpops and the rest of your beautiful family. Some of my best times in my life was being with You, Justin and Grandpops while I lived at your house. You would get me in the kitchen every night teaching me how to cook while you sipped on your wine(an occasionally allowed me a few sips) and we would sit up talking about all the things you did in your lifetime and how you and Grandpops met. I may not of been your blood or grandchild but for that short period I was with Jay you made me feel like family. I miss you so much I miss your cooking, miss all our talks we had about life and love, I miss the way you would tell people what your were thinking even if it wasn't always nice LOL. I miss the way you would yell MARK ANTHONY an I swear I can still hear you yelling that to this day. I love how you were the GLUE that held your family together. You were such a beautiful, independent and strong women, Mother and Grandmother. I now have a son an if I'm 1/2 the mother and have 1/2 the strength that you had then I think I will be just fine.
I loved you so much and cried so much when things ended between me and Jay BC I knew I wouldn't be able to see or talk to you or grandpops as much as I needed and wanted too.
You and GrandPops had taught me so much about life, love and being happy an Ill never forget that.
Anyways Grammie I wish I could of told you how much you meant to me and the impact your wisdom, love and words had on me in my life I wish I could of said that face to face but I wasn't able too. So I hope you hear my prayers and my words that I speak to you an I hope you know that I'm such a better person BC of the things you have taught me and told me, im a better person bc of you but I'm mainly a better Mother BC of you an all the things you taught me about family, love and always putting your children before anything. So Thanks for making me a better person, better mother and better all around woman for just knowing YOU. I can only hope that I'll have a love like you and grandpops did and be even more in love after so many years together then y'all were the first day y'all met.
Grammie you touched my heart as well as so many others you knew I'm so blessed to have shared so many good times with you an Ill continue to keep you alive in pictures, memories and stories. I never got a chance to say goodbye or go to your funeral so let this be my goodbye to you.
May you R.I.P and may you continue to look over your beautiful family (And help them through their hard times that they are going through) and love ones each and everyday but mostly may you be hand in hand with your love Grandpops and enjoy yalls heaven and Paradise everyday.
Thank You for everything you taught or did for me.
I love and miss you sooo much!! And Tell Grandpops Hello and I love him too I know in my heart I'll see you and Grandpops one day again! Love you

Dear Mom, By now you have your wonderful husband by your side. He put up a huge fight to stay with us but God had other plans for him. He only chose this surgery to survive because he said that you were so courageous through all your illnesses and that if you could do it so could he. We really thought he would make it and it was a HUGE gamble on his part. His body was too tired and worn out. He loved life and wanted to continue to be here with us and see his upcoming great grandchild. He was the best father and husband there ever was. We haven't gotten over losing you and now we will struggle with losing him. But now he will be happy in heaven with his beloved. He was a gentle soul and so smart. He tried to teach us what he knew all of his life. Hope you guys are dancing an Irish jig and I know you both will always be looking down on your brood. Our hearts are broken but we know we will be reunited later. I love you both with all my heart! Cathie

I love both of you beyond words can say.As I held Dylan tonight and Maci I can only Imagine how badly the two of you want to hold me and comfort me. I know your arms are reaching out from heaven and I want to be in your arms. Please give me the strength to go on. Dad I am so sorry. Im so sorry about what happened this morning.Godspeed Dad. Mom take care of him please. Love John

Dear Mom, All I think about over the last few weeks is you. Its like im re living it all over again. I cry every day and my heart weighs heavy with the thought of what happened. I wish so badly I could turn back the clock, and had gone back to the hospital that night to be with you, so you didnt have to face this alone. I hate myself!!! I am so sorry for not going back. No one knows how much I blame myself for not going back up there. I am in such agony over this.Why did this have to happen? My heart is ripped open over loosing you. I miss you beyond words can explain. love John

I still cant believe that is has been a year all ready since you have left us for heaven. I miss you soooo much and I look at your picture everyday when I wake up and think about you all the time, as I'm sure you are watching over me all the time. I think about how proud you would be of me for starting nursing school and graduating top of my class, I wish you could be there to see me as I continue my education. I know that you will be there in my heart and watching over me. I love you Grammie and miss you! Love Jessica

Dear Mom, We sent you off in the ocean in Boston the day before your 77th birthday. It was the hardest thing I have ever had to do. It was an absolutely beautiful day, even with the threat of hurricane Bill. It was sunny and very warm. We had a wonderful time on the boat with great food and loving family. We let you swim at Castle Island, one of your and Nana's favorite places.There were lots of boats on the harbor, especially beautiful sail boats. We will miss you forever! Love, Cathie

Dear Mom, Your white orchid has bloomed after waiting 7 months now, and it is buetiful.As you probably know were all falling apart down here and Im not sure why.Between Dad,Mark jr.,Teresa, and me,we have given the hospital's over a million dollars in the last 7 months.It's too much to handle.By the way Dylan's Christening is Sat. July 25th At St. Ann's 5PM. I know you will be there.Words cannot begin to explain how badly I miss you mom.I want to so badly pick up a phone and call you.Please ask God and Jesus to pray for us.I love you so much and miss you so dearly.It's like a part of my soul has been ripped from my heart.God bless you.Thank you for all the penny's.Oh my God I miss you so so much!!!! Love your baby boy John

Binky,
I had an urge to call you yesterday and talk to you and get you to laugh to make me laugh. Still can't believe that your gone from this life and on to another. Sometimes I feel your presence around me.Mom is getting to be so much like Nana its not funny. I worry about her so much as all she has left is David and Mark. I hear that your now watching over Alycia as you came to her in a message. Thats so kind of you and I believe in signs from the other side. I miss you oh so much. Wish that it wasn't your time yet and you are still here with us. You were always a HAPPY person and so loved life and your family. Til we meet again. Love Mosie

Dear Mom, Words can't describe how awful I feel on this first Mother's Day without you. I know you are with us all the time, but I miss your smile and laugh so much. It's like there is a gaping hole in my heart and it seems like it will never get better. We will be together at Dad's today to honor your memory. Love always, Cathie

Mark and Family, I also miss Geri ,I have very fond memories. She was my first American friend,and she drank TEA! most days in Southboro we had tea together.How she loved to host the family parties that we were invited to.Laugh and laugh so much.We were just talking to friends this weekend and we said how we sat at the dinning room table from breakfast,morning coffee and lunch and afternoon tea, and we ate the famous chocolate rum cake, and made another. I still make Gerri's chocolate rum cake, and have passed the recipe on to many, many folks.
I have one regret ,that I did not get to see you, Gerri before you passed on to a better world.We were planning on stopping by when we went to Virginia, but it never worked out.I am so sorry. Love you and miss you .Anita

BINKY>>> Almost a year ago you were fighting for your life in the Hospital and the doctors were saying "Anytime". I knew then that it wasn't your time to go just yet. God didn't want you to leave until your newest great grandchild came into this world. They say for every Birth ones life is taken. Not so in your case. You fought and fought so hard til the last gun fire. I can't believe that your not here anymore and neither is Dolores and Nana. I want so much to go back in time and re-live those times that we all had. I will never ever forget your "Belly of Laughter" that you always had. You were always such a positive person. You so loved life and your family. I will miss you always. But someday we will meet again with the others that have gone on to the other side. Til we meet again I love you and miss you BUNCHES... I heart you.. your youngest adopted goddaughter ..Mosie Posie

Dear Mom, I gave the kids a picture of you in a limo at Christmas years ago and you were giving us the thumbs up sign like you were saying everything is OK. I thought this would help us feel like you were telling us everything is Ok, but it's NOT and we are all heart broken and miss you so much! Christmas was absolutely horrible without you. We are all having a really hard time with missing you and we hope you are happy in heaven with Nana, Dolly and Christopher and Heide too. We will always love you and cherish your memory. You were the best mother ever!!!! And we miss your laughter so much. Pray our pain will lessen in time. Your loving daughter Cathie

My Dearest Aunt Binky,
I love you so much and will miss you very much. You have been the best aunt that anyone could ever have. I will always cherish the times that we shared. Things will never be the same anymore without you around.Your in a better place and someday we will meet again. I will miss your laugh and your smile.
You so loved life and your family.
I believe you are now with Nana and Dolly Pops having tea in a china cup looking down upon us. Can't believe that your gone from this life. You have always been a fighter up until the last minute. Your at peace now. Thank you for being my adopted god mother for the past few years. I love you dearly Binky. You are free from pain now. Go now and be with others whom have left us. Let them guide you. Don't be afraid to walk with them. Go towards the light.
Love you, Mosie
