Teri, Diane, JoAnn and Eddie,

I will miss not getting to see your mom again as she is one of the Aunts I remember most. I loved playing at your house and being with your mom and dad. For some reason the thing I remember most about your mom is her spaghetti. I don't remember if I liked it but I do remember having it for dinner at your house a lot. It is strage what we hang on to as memories. I hope all your memories are as hapy as mine and always will be. Your mom was a great woman and will be missed by all. God be with all of you and your families. Lots of love, Michelle, Ron and Ronald, Jr Eck and Jessica and Michael Ivey.

Into paradise may the angels lead you
On the tops of their wings may they carry you
I’ll find a way to carry on
As long as you promise you’ll never be gone
Into paradise may the angels lead you.

Our hearts go out to your family,

Darlene (Daoust) White and family

Dear Terri, Diane, Joanne, and Ed:
There are so many fun memories growing up on Second Ave. Terri I remember your Mom bringing you home from the hospital and all of us kids surrounding the car to see you. She was so happy. I remember babysitting all you guys and your Mom and Dad coming home and telling them how good all of your were. Many summer nights we'd get together on the front porch. Every time I came home, I'd go over to see your Mom and bring the girls for her to see. She was loved and will be missed by us.

Dear Family of Annette,
My fondest memories of Annette, was growing up with her, and going to school together. We only lived a few blocks from each other, and we played together as small children. We graduated from Fort Crailo together, along with Ernest.
Then our lives separated as she went to Van Rensselaer, and I went to St. John's.
She was a beautiful person both in appearance and in Spirit. I know she will be missed.
