My Darling, I can't begin to tell you how much I will miss you. Only to say it's the way you would miss me if I were gone. How do I go on without you? It hurts so bad to know you're not coming home to me again or feel your arms, your touch, your kiss. I will always be your loving wife till I die. Everyone knew we were truly in love and soul mates from the time we met. One day I'll be with you again on Heaven's shores. Dear, I love you more!!

Joe,I am going to miss you so much.It was a sad day when I heard you were gone. So many good times on both the old and new peds unit. You were so funny to be around and so much loved by me and all the staff at RMC. The kids loved you because you were so kind to them, giving them the little "rhino" masks for their breathing treatments. This made it special for them. I love you and miss you forever. My prayers are for Donna and those you left behind.

To my stepdad Joe,
To say this is a very unexpected thing is a very big understatement!! I know there were times that we did not see eye to eye and when I was younger I was a rebellious teenager, but you accepted me and loved me no matter what!! When mom introduced me to you and said that yall were dating, I really didn't know what to think, but as time went on I grew to love you and accept you in our family!! You have been in my life for 22 plus years and you made mom very happy and she loves you very very much!!! You will definitely be missed by all of your friends, previous coworkers, and all of your/our family but especially mom!! You very frequently said your job was to take care of mom and that you were going to take care of her but know that Frankie and I will always be here to take care of her and always be here for her no matter what!! She will never be alone and we will take extra special care of her!!! I love you and will miss you!!!! Rest in Peace and Semper Fi
