Thinking of you mama during this holiday season. The holidays will never be the same without you. When I hear Christmas music, all I can think of is you humming songs, especially when you were cleaning!!! I smile when I think of your little tree in the livingroom. You made it look so festive.
Always thinking of you and Dad. I miss you both very much.
You're always in my prayers.

Mummy, we always had lots of fun together....whether at work or play.
I'll see you in my DREAMS and in MY Children.

My dearest beautiful mama.

Thank you for being the person you were.
For always being there when I needed you the most (which was probably always). For having my dinner ready every night after I got home from work. For taking care of my children when I couldn't be there.
I love you more than life and I thank you from the bottom of my sad heart for being you.
You can dance away now without your feet hurting.
with all my love
Sandra

To Ma,
I watched you being the perfect patient at MGH. I watched you suffer each day. I prayed that you would make it home to watch your Soaps, do the crytoquote, and to cook Sandra supper, again. When the end was near, I struggled to tell the family to say "Good-by".
Now, I picture you dancing with Dad in Heaven.
It was privilege being your daughter.
I will miss you dearly. Love, Ann Marie

Dear Ma,
I will miss you very much but I will always have you in my heart right next to Dad. You were the tower of strength for me when I was diagnosed with cancer in 1993. I could see how much it hurt you that this happened to me but you smiled at me when I needed it & that gave me the spiritual medicine to get through the next year of therapies. Now you are with Dad & watching over me every day. I feel your presence and am comforted by that feeling. The ordeal is over, Ma. Dad will show you around & your new life in Heaven will be the best. Enjoy it Ma, you earned it.

Love you,
Domenic

To my beautiful mother...Watching you drift away from us and knowing the pain you were suffering was one of the hardest things I ever had to do. But I believe that when it was time to cross over daddy was waiting for God to say: "go get her Vinny she's all yours" and daddy took your hand and danced you into heaven. I know you will never suffer pain again. May you rest in peace .
Love you and miss you
Agatha

Dear Sandra,

I will really miss Lena. I have known her since a baby and I am terribly sorry for her death. Just remember how much she loved you and that should help with the pain.

Agatha, Domenic, Patricia, Anna, Sandra, and Bobby .. Words don't help the pain, the sorrow, the emptyness you feel, but time only numbs the pain. I have heard Lena call every one of you and speak of everyone with such love and adoring comments. Bobby, since you have moved there, I always felt like you were Lena's son. She spoke of you with such love and I saw it all through her eyes.

My thoughts are with the entire family during this sad time, and Lena may you rest in peace.. I will forever remember your voice and smile.

Love Jackie
