Words cannot describe how much you mean to me. I know that you are by my side guiding me in the right direction. I will never forget how you taught me to eat black olives off of all ten of my fingers. I will always carry the memory of you telling my famous story of flushing the tomato paste down the toilet, I promise it will be mentioned at my wedding:) I miss you to pieces. You have certainly made the sky more beautiful to gaze upon these days...love you always<3

Ed, I want to thank you for allowing me to be a part of your life, the McManus clan and especially your duaghter, Lyn. I wish we had the chance to spend more time together over the past few years, but the times we did are memorable. You are a good man and a prime example of Proud to be an American. You are a good Husband, Father & Grandfather. We will miss you and we will meet again. God Bless you and the Family. Your Son In-law, Phil.

Grampy, You were the best grandfather ever. I loved coming to florida to visit you especially when you let me help clean the garage and help with all the recycling. Also i loved when we fixed the lamp. You talk to me alot about electricity and plumbing. I will miss all the fun we had together.

Our beloved husband, father, grampy and brother
The one who was loved by all more than any other
Remember me with a smile; please wipe away your tears
Hold close to your heart our many happy memories over the years
Love your family and cherish your friends
The way that I loved mine, until the very end
Be loyal, kind, honest and true
Just as I have always been to you
Live for the moment and don't wait until tomorrow
Remember me with pride and joy, and not with sorrow
Please let me continue to live within your heart
And know that you will always be loved by me at each day’s start

Daddy,
I will always be daddy's little girl even though I will no longer see your warm smile or hear your calming voice. You will live forever in my heart. Thank you for making my world a better place. I don't know how I will get by without you, so please watch over me, and your little princess and prince, from Heaven. I am everything that I am because you loved me and encouraged me and I hope to be as perfect of a mother to Brini and Ryan as you were the perfect daddy to me. I will keep all of the promises that I made to you during your last week. I just wish that I could have held onto your hand forever. I love you daddy, forever and ever....

Grampy,
Thank you for making the first 3 months of my life so special. I will miss your kisses to my piggy toes. Thank you for my very first laugh when you were being silly about the animal noises. I am honored that your last words were "Bring me Ryan, I want a hug". I loved how you would always say "This is my grandson, he looks just like me....isn't he handsome". I will love you forever, Grampy. Please watch over me from Heaven.
