Happy birthday Nana, we love and miss you terribly. Know that every day (today especially) you are on our minds and in our hearts. I would not be the person I am without your love and guidance. Thank you for everything, I love you so much.

My heart goes out to all of you. I have fond memories of Aunt Honey and I'm so happy that I was able to see her last summer. Always happy and loved being around family. Hang on tight to your memories of her as they will comfort and remind you of the love she had for all of you.

To all of the Aunt Honey's family, I will always treasure your vacation to California. We had so much fun. I was always happy to be one of the "family". Her humor and love for everyone will stay with me forever. May you all hold tight to the wonderful memories you each have. My prayers and thoughts are with all. Much love, Janette DeLorme Parrish

Uncle Skip, Nancy, Tom, Eileen, and the rest of the gang
I can't even begin to think of my life without Aunt Honey. I do know she is way better off and she is where she should be.
As a child Aunt Honey and Uncle Skip took me when my mother worked, during the summer and school vacations, so I could be with their kids. I spent so much time with you that I considered you as my family.
I went on so many family vacations with you guys from the time I was a little girl until only a few years ago going to Disney I loved being with Aunt Honey she always made me laugh. Recently Eileen, Aunt Honey, Aunt Addie and I went on an unexpected trip to New York. It will be considered one of my best trips ever. It really makes me like rain now because of those memories.
Aunt Honey understood me. She had a sense of when I was feeling down I would get a phone call and she would cheer me up. Sometimes, I could talk to her easier than my own mother. (Sorry mom but you always told me I should have been her daughter.) She was my other Mom. This is a huge loss for our whole family. I will miss her twice a week phone calls, her love, and all her support. Aunt Honey was always the first one there when you were facing a crisis. She has been my go to person since my Dad died.
My goal is to try to be more like her. I hope that when I die I have impacted a persons life as much she did mine. Give my Dad a hug from me and save me a spot in Heaven

I am so sorry. I lost my Godmother and my second Mom. I just have to believe that she is watching us from above. Always make the extra effort for people like she always did. It will be remembered forever.

Dear Skip and Family:
There are no words to express the sadness in our hearts over your great loss. But, Aunt Honey's sense of humor will live on forever. Was there anyone that was quite so funny and didn't know it?
That would be Aunt Honey. The funny stories and times that were spent together are unforgetable. I can remember Aunt Honey making us laugh out loud and it brought tears to your eyes. Of course, she never understood why we were laughing. Aunt Honey was a special lady and character to us all.
We love you and will keep your spirit in our hearts always.
Love, Uncle Richard,
Noreen and Sam Smith
