Dear Grammy,
I miss you very much. You were always so kind, sweet, and very generous. You did so much for me. I could never thank you enough for taking care of me. Our whole family went to the church in honor of you. Everybody was crying because we miss you so much. I'm happy that you weren't in pain when you passed away. I have some pictures of you on my bedside table. I always pray to you. When we see a bright star or flowers it will probably be you. I will miss your awesome cooking, but that isn't the reason I'm writing this. The reason is that I want you to know how much I love you and miss you.

My Dear Grandmother:
Thank you for 31 years of being my Grandmother and my best friend, for the long late night conversations, laughs, and so much time spent together. I thank you the most for being so involved with my daughters, and for sharing your life story with me over our years together, the greatest gift someone could ever give.
Heaven must have needed another Angel...

I love you forever,
Your Granddaughter,
Amy

We will always remember Addy waiting for us at the Casino and meeting everyday for cheese, cheese and wine. And giving each other updates on our children. We had a lot of laughs together and we will miss her, but will never forget her.
Love, Tony and Lola (CA)

To my friend Addy,
I have known you for over 30 years. You were the first neighbor I met. You brought me a wonderful plant and left it on the door step. Through the many years we have known each other, and with all my health problems you have been like a mother to me.
We had so much history I do not know where to start. You were not only a neighbor but my best friend. You saw through hard time and good times. You never judged me you only pushed me in the right direction.
I will miss you and the sound of the rumbling wheel barrel going by the house. I will miss our talks and the phone calls. I will miss my friend.
Love
Jack

My Dear Addy,
God has a new angel. I am so thankful for having you in my life. You have opened up your heart to me and my family so many times. You have had my grandchildren at the pool on hot summer days. You have sat by my side when Jack was sick and told me everything would be alright. You have been there for me with love and kindness. I sat next to you at the pool just watching the water the day I buried my mother. You have been a wonderful neighbor and a wonderful friend.
I look out my back door and can not imagine you not working in the garden. How many times did you knock on the door with fresh tomatoes and when I invited in you would say no I am dirty working the garden. How many times would I hear the wheels of the wheel barrel go down the side of the house.
I am going to miss you so very much. You always made sure you gave me a big hug. I wish I could have just one more
Love
Maureen
