It has been a while now since you've passed.alot of people say these things get better with time, but for me it has not. i miss you so, so much. there isnt a day that goes by that i dont think about you, and wish so badly that i could just pick up the phone to call you. somedays, like today, its almost like i can feel your presence around me, and every thing just constantly reminds me of you. you cant imagine how badly i wish i just had a few more minutes with you, to hold your hand and tell you how much you mean to me and how very much i love you. i know that your in a better place now and your watching over all of us, so that gives me a little comfort knowing that, that even though i cant see you, i know your there, and i can still talk to you, and grandma too! i just cant believe that the two most important people in my life are gone. the two people that were always there for me. i love the both of you so very much and i miss you every day of my life, the only thing to look forward to is no matter how long it takes, we'll all be together again someday.

I have alot of memories of gramma, the cookouts, the time she made us pizza and we eat it under the big tree, the little jellies she brought from working at the hosp. making uncle Tommy breakfast, lunch and dinner. the green rung in the livingroom you weren't suppose to sit in. The time she was eating a hamburger on the front steps and ate a bee, it just flew in her mouth... how she would sit on the ladder in the deep end of the pool and push off to the dead mans float and then roll over. lol putting on her red lipstick her soft skin and most of all her personality, nothing PHONY about it, that's what I love and miss most about gramma. I hope that if I got or learned anything from her, it was to be yourself and to be proud it. I hope I make her proud!!!

My favorite times with you, and most memorable, will always be the nights that I slept over your house-which to me it seemed like every night! I'll never forget the nights when you would make me hot chocolate with just the right amount of ice cream in it. Then we would lay in bed together and watch nick at night, shows like Mr.Ed and Bewitched. But my favortie show to watch with you was the Golden Girls, and after you would always rub my back until I fell asleep. And in the morning we would watch the Mickey Mouse Club and the Price is Right. I loved those times with you and I wish with all my heart that I could get them back. I miss you everyday, and I Will Love You Always.

I remember when I was little she would walk me uptown and we would go to this little store that had and Ice Cream Bar and also sold cards and niknaks and stuff It is such fond memory and also I remember setting up my bed on the floor next to her bed and just wait for all the snacks that she would give me/us thru out the night . but I will always remember her telling me stories when I would go to sleep and they always took place at the beach ..she really loved the Beach I remember going down the cape with grandma ,uncle bob and auntie dolly for a week what an awesome time we had ,, grandma would walk down the beach and pick up these Razor clams and just open them up and eat em she was just that way
Grandma I will never forget you I miss you so much
Love Gina

Your gone now, but I can still see your face
Your loving smile, and your warm embrace
Your loving eyes, and your comforting touch
All these things, I will miss so much
I never thought this day would come, this day to say goodbye
But now that it's here, I can't help but cry
I know you lived a life, that was long and full of love
And I know that your in Heaven now, so high up above
I will never forget you, or the times we had together
I will cherish all my memories, for in my heart they will last forever.
-you will always be my meme-

Gramma was one of a kind... I am so very thankful that I was a part of her long and full life. She taught me so many life lessons that when you look back now you can only say Thank you. I will always miss and love her and hope that she has found the peace and serinty that she was looking for. I can see her up there gossping with Bardy, and playing pitch or poker with everyone... love always Judy (Her son Joey's daughter).

Dearest Aunt Rose. Some of the very few pleasant memories I have from adolescence always involved a holiday, and your fun-loving, easy going, mellow, relaxed way, and your easy smile. The best times were when you visited. You had no time, or patience for doom & gloom. I will hold onto those memories as I always have, and keep you in my prayers. My only regret is that I never told you. Perhaps I can when we meet again.
