I really miss my Grammy. Whenever I saw her it was really special to me. I really liked her stuffing for Turkey. And she made me a truck in arts and crafts class in her nursing home. I love it very much and I will always keep it.

Grammy, I love you and I miss you.
your grandson,
Brenden

Sorry about your loss. Dorothy was my dad's first cousin and he visited his Uncle Russell whenever possible. Dad always enjoyed your mom's family.

Hi Everyone,
I know we are all feeling the loss of Dotty, but I wanted to just share a fun story about Dot and me that I always keep close to my heart.

It was the first time I introduced Dot to my family at a cookout. We went to my sisters house and during the day my brother inlaw decided to play bocce. Well Dot was talking to my dad and my dad asked her if she wanted to play. Well as we all know, Dotty was a champian bocce player, but my dad thought he was going to have take it easy on Dot who he thought didn't know how to play, so I told my dad and brother inlaw that I would play with Dot and that I would help Dot learn the game.

As the game went on Dotty proceeded to kick some Italian B_ _ _! and I was in tears laughing as I watched both my dad and brother inlaw go crazy trying to beat Dot.

By the end of the day we told them that Dot was a champian bocce player and we all got a kick out of it.

This is just one of the memories that I will carry with me always.

I will Miss you Dot!
Oscar

My mother was a very sweet, open and innocent soul. I would call her a saint in this world. She kept her childlike innocence throughout her entire life. Her outlook on others and her ability to look beyond the surface seeing good in all, will always stay with me and be a part of who I have become as well. For all those who did know her, you knew that she was a uniquely special person who had great empathy for others and always had a gleam in her eyes – where if you saw it you instantly loved her.

There is no whole in my heart tonight for you have always overflowed it with the love you have given me.
~ your baby forever, Love Sheila
