Hi Donna
Sorry to hear about your mom's passing. She was such a nice lady. I remember her and your father cooking breakfast for us. I hope her memory brings you peace and comfort in the days and years ahead.

My thoughts and love are with you at this very sad time.
Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.

I dont really know what else to say except-What a wonderful person with a beautiful family. You have a family that is so close, filled with so much love and you should be so proud that you and your husband were the ones that made it all happen. You are an unforgetable soul mate, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, friend and much more, but now you are a guardian angel. I wish I could have gotten to know you better, but from what I could see with all those that surrounded you today, at the funeral, it wasn't hard to see that you will be missed more than you could possibly imagine. R.I.P<3
Always smiling!

My Mom,
Funny, warm, loving, caring and giving. I am so blessed to have had such a wonderful Mother, not just to me and my family, but to all of my friends, who she gave her love and support through their hard and rough times. She will be missed clearly by all who knew her and loved her. I love you Mom and I will miss you dearly.
Love,
Donna

There aren't many words to express how much your mom and wife meant to me. She was my other "mom." How many times did Patty and I run back and forth from each other's homes. I have known Ellie since Kindergarten where I met Pat. Ellie has been an inspiration to me my entire life and I'm a better person for having known her. She had such a sense of humor (not always clean, but FUNNY!). I'll always love her and will always smile when I think of her! Deb
PS Of course, Gene will always remember her visits to Brooks in Allston! Both of us will miss her dearly! All our love and prayers are with all of you during this difficult time!

Aunt Nora will surely be missed by many. But it certain that she's laughing with her sisters, playing cards with her brothers or maybe even doing the jitterbug with Ted. I'm sure she's also remembering giggles with nieces and nephews as well as the tremendous love she has for all her own children and Uncle Connie. YFN. Pat

Sometimes you have to wait for the door to open. There is no time frame; you don’t know when it will be there to be opened, but once it opens, the death of a loved one returns like a butterfly.
Suddenly you are capable of remembering all the moments in the good things you tried to think of, but couldn’t quite fully reach in such a disturbingly upset state. It’s hard to truly remember the actual moments you had when initially, all you can think of is how wonderful the person was, why it couldn't have ended differently, perhaps how you didn't get to say good-bye in the way you wanted to, how nothing will ever be the same, and what made them who they were and no one else.
It’s a beautiful thing when this door opens. Once the door is opened, you can really remember the moments. These moments are so precious and ultimately lead to acceptance of what seems to be such a great, great loss. Suddenly you are capable of forgetting about the how, why, and when and begin feeling the moments you remember along with the wonderful spirit of the person who made those moments what they are, in the deepest of your heart. It will make your insides smile.
It snowed lightly on her day. It was beautiful for her. She has a wonderful family, (and friends, even acquaintances), who love her and will keep her spirit alive. She will never leave any of your sides. I’m sure she will be there to give you a push if you need it and hold you up when there’s no one there.
I put no rush on it because we all have our own timing and our own ways, but I wish you quickness in finding that magnificent door to peace, an inner smile, and forgiveness.
My sincerest Condolences
Rest in Peace

Rick and Family,
I know that Heaven is having a lot more fun now that your Nana is there. Every time I met her she always had a smile, or a witty comment, or she was telling Eric to sing the Ricky Dicky Doo song.
I also have great memories of your Nana on your wedding day.
From having the honor of walking your Nana down the aisle.
To having her look at me funny when I was so excited to make the biggest PB&J sandwich at the hotel
To her partying it up with us late into the night and not even caring that she almost got pushed into the tub by a bunch of crazy animals.
I know you have many great memories so remember those times.
Our sincere condolences to you and all your family at this time.
Love
