Ma,
Like Lori said thanks for everything from holdingmy little hand when I was born to holding yours as you laid there in your last hours.

It's so very hard to believe that I haven't been able to hug you in a year.

Come Friday night we will celebrate your life and not mourn our loss.

Please know how hard this past year has been without you and know that you are always in my heart.

Thank you for making me your special "one" for all these years.

This will most likely be the last time I get to write to you in this book.

I remember that right after you passed away I heard the song, Silent Night and from then on, I have to told you to sleep in Heavenly peace.

Well we have come full circle and it's playing on the radio again. So, one more time I will tell you:

Sleep in Heavenly peace Mema. I miss you and love you more than ever.

Well Mema,

I can't believe that it's been just about a year that you have been gone. It's been a very long year and I am missing you so. I was feeling like you weren't close by anymore and then when you popped into my dream the other night, just for that split second, I knew it was a sign that you are still close by and looking over us.

I love you and miss you. Please watch over me during my surgery. I love you always and miss you still.

Sleep in heavenly peace,
Lori

Mema,

I can't believe that we are coming up on a year. I can't believe that you have been gone so long. I still miss you and think of you everyday.

I will be walking this weekend with you in my heart. I know Uncle Bob and Ari will miss you for their birthdays.

Know that I love you and I miss you so.

Sleep in Heavenly peace Mema

Love,
Lori

Hi Gram,
Well, the weather is changing and I know you are happy to not have to face another lonely winter on Earth.

Things are going well and I think of you often. I look at a picture of you every day and Dad always has "your" mints in his pockets.

Jeff, the kids and I miss you and love you lots.

Sleep in Heavenly peace mema.

I hope you are having a great time celebrating your first birthday in heaven with all of your friends and family. Is there a Tommy's Bar in heaven? I bet you have Alice's Bar up there.

I am thinking of you and missing you like crazy. You are in my heart always.

Hi Mema,

I've been missing you alot this week. I still can't believe that you are gone. I always knew the time would eventually come but I never thought it would be something I would make it through and now here I am without you.

Today is mom's anniversary, please give her a big kiss and hug for me.

I miss your smile and your stories of Johnny derieair. I miss hearing about the time dad made us shower up north by the 1000 Islands in really cold weather. I miss you doing your puzzles, and watching the news with the tv really loud.

I love you and miss you always!!!

Happy Easter!!

Boy it's been your kind of weather. I know you would be out in the pool and keeping Baby cool.

Thank you for the special hug, it really meant the world to me.

Here is a poem I wrote:

Sometimes, like today, I wonder how God could have taken you away.

Sometimes, like today, I wonder why the good people never stay.

Sometimes, like today, I wonder why those we love have to suffer.

Sometimes, like today, your family misses you more than words can say.

Sometimes, like today, I know your there to watch Jeff and Ari play.

Sometimes, like today, I need you to lead the way.

Sometimes, like today, I wonder why your family had to feel such pain.

Sometimes, like today, I don't feel strong like they all say.

Sometimes, like today, we can't forget you’re gone away.

All my love,
Sleep in heavenly peace Mema

Mema,

I am missing you so much today. I look at your pictures and I can't believe that you aren't here. Maybe it's the nicer weather, maybe it's Jeff and Jeffrey's birthday party. I don't know, but I know that I am having a tough day without you.

I was just looking at your boogie boarding picture and I thanked Jeff for bringing you home from the ocean that week. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have had those memories.

Well, your memorial stone I bought you wasn't in a week before the kids broke it with a softball. I was heartbroken. I will have to get another one. It really meant alot to me.

There is still this void I feel every once in awhile and I know it's me missing you.

I love you gram.
Sleep in heavenly peace.
All my love,
Lori

Hi mema,

It's me. I hope you are happy with all of your friends up there. Please tell mommy I love her.

This past weekend we lost a beloved nun at church. Sr. Mary Coons passed away on Friday, tomorrow will be her funeral. Please tell her what an amazing life she led by bringing God into every person she touched in life. Maybe you and she can get together and chat. I think she would like that and I know how you love to talk to new people and make new friends. She would be a great friend for you to have up there.

Your tree is doing well and I just found out that your memorial stone is on back order until August. I will have to find it somewhere else. I can't wait that long to put it under your tree.

I love you and miss you still.

Sleep in heavenly peace Mema.

Well, isn't it a beautiful day? You must be sending them my way. I bought your tree over the weekend and got it planted in the yard. I am just waiting for the memorial stone I bought to come in. I can't wait to sit near it and talk to you. I know you were looking down on me and the kids while we planted it.

It's so hard this time of year. I can see you sitting under your trees and pulling weeds, digging and planting new flowers. I love you and miss you more than you can ever imagine.

Sleep in heavenly peace and I will see you out at your tree.

Lori Young

April 11, 2008

Hi Gram,

Well yesterday was just an amazing day. The weather was just the way you like and I know you would have been out there getting the garden ready. I am going to get your tree this weekend. Spring has finally sprung and I know if you could have made it till now, you would be good till the fall again. I am so glad that you went with me to the ocean. We had such a great time. I don't care what anyone says, I would let you boogie board again. I will always have those memories.

I was thinking the other night about how you used to come and play pac-man on our atari when I was a kid. You loved to play that game. I remember all the times I got to go to work with you on a saturday morning. I used to love to help you out.

All my love,
Lori

Hey Gram,

Well, spring is finally here. Happy Easter to you. Or should I say, "Happy fourth of July". I missed you yesterday. I wish so much for you to be here, but I am glad you are no longer in pain.

You were so strong right up until the end. I am sorry that I didn't listen to you when you told me it was going to be your time. I didn't want to believe it. I just wanted to get you through the winter. I also knew if you got through the winter, you would feel good again. Winter was such a hard time for you.

I am going to start shopping for your tree. I am just waiting for it to get a tad warmer out.

Uncle Bobby has someone who needs a hutch. I hope you don't mind my giving him the top. I know you wanted me to have it and that meant a lot to me. But I really have no where to put it and if someone else is in need, I hope you won't mind too much.

Today is my fourth anniversary as a "survivor". I have been thinking how that made you so happy. I wish you were here to go with us to celebrate at dinner. I will be thinking of you and if I drank Genny, I would order one just for you.

All my love mema,
Lori

Hi Gram,

I am doing a little better since I last wrote.
I am so looking forward to spring as I am sure you would be if you were here. I can't wait to plant that tree.
Arianna and I went to the park on Saturday and we made you two snow angels. I could almost you feel you looking down over us.

I have finally decided that you are right and that I take on too much. I have decided that this will be my last year doing girl scouts. I cannot be everything to everyone and it's about time I realize that.

I miss you so much. I wish you were here to talk to me. Know that I love you and miss you so.

All my love,
Lori
Sleep in Heavenly peace!!

Gram,

Just wanted to check in and see how things were going up there in heaven. I am trying so hard to fill the void in my life that I am feeling without you. I miss that smile and happy face. It's almost time to plant your tree. I bought a wonderful light up memorial stone. It's will look so nice this summer. I will get the campfires roaring close by, so you can enjoy them. Give mom a kiss for me. I hope you are having fun with Gloria and John up there. Sleep in heavenly peace!!

Gram,

It's me again. Well I am having a rough time this week with Jeffrey. He is in another one of those "stages". When ever I went through this with him, I would call you and you always made me feel better about it.
Every time I needed advice about parenting you were there for me. I really missed that this morning when I was at my wits end. I know, I know, it's just another stage. But it's not the same not being able to hear you say it. I love you and miss you so much. I was talking to a friend and she was going through a milestone with her daughter and wanted her mom there to talk to but she is up in heaven with you. I realized then that when things like that happened to me, I always had you to talk to. And then I realized that I don't have mom or you now. No one could have taken my mom's place, but darn if you didn't do an amazing job of filling in.

I love you mema!!
Sleep in Heavenly Peace!!

Hi mema,

Well today was the family christmas party and I couldn't help but miss you there. Everyone was there and in good spirits. Aunt Connie seems to be doing well. We all missed you. Even Baby, as she ran around eating from everyone's hands. Uncle Bob is taking good care of her. Cousin Barbara raffled off the singing santa that you wanted from the grab bag a few years ago. Remember the one she took from you??

Jeff gave her a hard time about bringing stuff for me to bring home. I told him, someone has to send me home with stuff now that you are gone. That was always are big joke. Jeff would always pick on me when I brought bags of stuff home from your house. I loved it.

Just wanted to know that I am thinking of you tonight. Sleep in heavenly peace.

I love you!!

Lori,
This seems to be more and more difficult to write into someone's guestbook. I remember you always talking about your grandmother. You could feel the bond that you had with her, just by you talking about her. Your expressions showed the love you had for her. She may not be here phyically but she will always be with you. You have a ton of memories and they last forever! My prayers are with you.

Happy New Year Gram,

Yesterday was a tough day. I didn't want to let go of 2007, knowing you were in it. I was very bluesy and down. I feel like I am moving in a daze. Alot of days are good, yesterday wasn't. I miss you so much. I was looking at your picture and I couldn't imagine not seeing your face smiling at me anymore. You always made me feel special. I don't feel that way anymore and I miss it. I miss making someone proud. I love you Mema!!

Gram,

Merry Christmas to you. I am sure that the beauty you can see there on Christmas must be huge compared to down here on earth. I miss you and I am always thinking about you. Uncle Bob and Baby came for Christmas dinner. They are both doing well. Aunt Zel, Ona and dad were there too. It was so nice us all being together but I couldn't help but miss you with your Genny. Uncle Bob brought a thirty pack with him, so you were there in spirit. I love you and I miss you so much. All my love.

Gram,

Well, I am sure you already know but my scans and tests all came out good. No sign of reoccurence. I know how much that meant to you. You always cried when I gave you the good news and then you said, "I knew you'd be okay. I just knew."

I am doing okay today. But know that i still miss you. I know you want me to be okay and I am trying really hard. Your Christmas present will have to wait until spring. I told Jeff that I am going to buy a little tree to plant in the yard. I am going to get a bench with your name on it and then I will have a place to go and talk to you. We can meet under YOUR Christmas tree.

I love you mema
All my love,

When I first started working at Siena, Alice was one of the first people that I worked with. She made me feel comfortable, and on the hardest days always brought a smile to my face along with many others. She will be missed by everyone that she came in contact with. My condolences go out to all her family and friends...Vince Natale

Gram,

I know you are at peace, and that it was your time. I hope that you know that I wouldn't be the mom I am today without you in my life. You guided me when I was unsure and told me "It's just another stage", when I was at my wits end.
I know that I was your grandchild but you were a mom to me. Not an hour goes by that I don't think of you and miss you. I am so grateful for what you said to me that last night. I feel so blessed to have heard those last few words. I know they were your special gift to me.

I am having such a hard time without you here. I know that with time it will get easier, but I just can't imagine not seeing you on Christmas. It is going to be such a hard holiday season.

I love you mema!!!

Uncle Bob,

You have been in my thoughts across the miles since I heard the news from John the other day.

I have many fond memories of Miss Alice. Her love of her dogs. Have you ever seen such lovely gardens? She was always tan, even in March. And always smiling.

Those that we have loved and lost are never far away. They're just in a place where we cannot see them.

She's still smiling now, from her new address in heaven.

Life was not always easy even from the very beginning but you always moved forward with your life with a sense of pride and a GREAT sense of humor. Thank you for the lessons you taught me about life and especially the gift of humor you gave me and the ability to laugh at myself. We have probably laughted at things we shouldn't have but we had alot of fun. Love Cris

Bob,

Having lost my mother as well, I know what you are going through right now.

I met you and your Mom back in 1999 at one of your summer parties. From the first time I met Alice she just made me feel so welcomed and at home.

She took pride in her gardening and it showed as she took me all around the property describing each and everyone of her beautiful flowers, and before I left your house she gave me some plants to take back to my home, and a big hug, and said stop over anytime. That was the kind of person she was and I will always remember that.

May she rest in peace.

From the very first time I meet Alice she put a smile on my face everytime I saw her. She is a special lady who embraced life and the people around her. She was never to busy to talk to people and to help them. Iam so glad she touched my life and I know she is laughing and having a good time with her family and friends that have gone before her.
