Joyce,
We always had so much fun during "nailtime" for all those years! It was great watching your kids grow and getting to know the relatives and the fun nights outs and parties, too many to list! Even the 4am nail fixes, haha. You are on to bigger and better world and I hope you and Don are having a ball! Love,
Dawn

Ma, where would I be without you...you were my rock. Thank you for all that you did for me and my girls. Between helping get out on my own, taking care of the girls while I went to school to get a job, and you and dad taking me downtown for my first interview...and of course for drinks afterwords. The girls and I are going to miss you, you were a one of a kind. The love that you had for us was unconditional and never ending. I can't believe that you are gone, but I know you are with Pa now and not in any pain. Please keep watch over us our dear angel until we meet again....I love you Ma Scanlan with all my heart!! Love you, Diana, Kelly and Meghan...
