Mom, There is nothing like a mother's love, and we are all so blessed to have had you in our lives. We'll miss your youthful zeal for life and the happiness you shared in every occasion. You truly lived "larger than life" and will be missed by many, but in our hearts forever til we meet again.

Grandma, you meant so much to me. I feel so lucky to have had you a part of my life for 26 years. Your optimism and enthusiasm for life showed me how to live life. I hope to embody all the wonderful things you were. I know you're with the Lord now, probably doing the same things you did here, and I pray for you everyday. I miss you already and I'll love you always and forever.

A message for Violet, Johnny and their family and for Dorothy's family. We are so saddened to learn that Dorothy has passed away. She was a sweet and lovely spirit who loved her family dearly and showed the great faith, optimist and kindness of her parents with whom, we pray, she is reunited. From your first cousin MaryGrace and her family from Jamestown, New York.

Jim, Nancy, Ed and All Family Members ~ Aunt Dot’s perpetual optimism and enthusiasm for life was an inspiration to all she touched. She was the “glue” that held the family together. I am confident she is with the Lord now doing the busy work of all good angels! Always in our hearts and forever in our memories, she will definitely be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you and yours at this time.
