I remember from the times i was young having sleep overs at grams till the recent times we visited gram was always smiling and just cared for everyone. I will miss you gram! i know youll be watching and guiding all of us till the day we meet again! We love you always and forever! and will miss you deerly. ~Jay

Nancy: it sure has been a while and I haven't seen you in such a long time. It's funny how life takes us in different directions, but the memories of my childhood will always remain in my mind of the whole family and those special times on Christmas playing video games and my parents always trying to get me to sing to Bocie.. Hang in there, you are all part of such a special person that will never be forgotten.

It sure has been a long time since I've seen Bocie but my memories of living next door and of course having a great father in law introduced me to Bocie. She was always so giving, would give you anything she could. I remember running to the store for her, she was the master at cooking and expecially making sausage. Bocie will always be in my memory and won't be forgotten.
