Hello Mother of mine,
Reliving those beautiful memories we made so very long ago, gives me great pleasure and comfort. It is nice to step back in time, when life was simple and uncomplicated. You and Dad were at the helm, always leading us by your faith, your strength and your example. Jim and my beloved Frank have now gained their wings and join you and Dad in Heaven. I miss Frank terribly and it is difficult not having him by my side. With God´s help, I will be "right as rain". As always, when you and I are far apart, whisper my name to the Sacred Heart.
Lovingly,
Your Maura

Hello Mother of mine,
So hard to believe 13 years have passed since you left us to be with Dad. I miss you both terribly and I keep your memories alive through your children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and yes, your great great grandchildren. There are now 4 of them and all little Irish beauties. Please continue watching over us. When you and I are far apart, whisper my name to the Sacred Heart.
Lovingly,
Your Maura

Happy Birthday Mom! I can still vividly recall all the happy memories we shared. I am now carrying on the legacy by repeating, recalling and sharing all your delightful little poems and stories with the family. Although they are big shoes to fill, I think I've become my mother. Give Dad a big hug and kiss from me. Miss and love you both so much! Please watch over me and my family. We need your prayers... always remember "when you and I are far apart, whisper my name to the Sacred Heart"

It is almost a year since Our Lord called you home to Heaven. I know you are with Daddy now and the both of you wouldn't trade places with any of us. The both of you were great parents and set a very high standard for us to follow. You led by example and be assured we will always try to nourish the seeds you planted in us. You will never be forgotten. Please pray for our intentions and always remember "when you and I are far apart, whisper my name to the Sacred Heart."

Dear GG,
You were an awesome great grandmother and I'm so lucky to have had you for 13 years. And everytime I dance, I will dance for you!

Nanny,
Thank you for being you. You will be missed very much. You will always be with us in spirit. Nanny, you were always a lady of class, grace and dignity. Thank you for all the love and happiness you shared with us.

Dearst Josie:
You are, were and will always be a true inspiration to me. You always greeted me with the warmest smile (and a kiss and a hug!), and your dedication to the Blessed Mother and to the Rosary was known and revered by all. Now She has taken you to Herself--and to Her Son--in all their glory. Sing and dance always, for the Promise has been kept and the inheritance is indeed yours. Can't wait to see you again soon...until then say a prayer for me and for your wonderful family. And don't forget: we still expect you every Wednesday at 3:30PM Rosary at Our Lady of Consolation, for you will always be our leader!
I love you very much, Tony

My dearest Nanny,
It was a gift and honor to be your grand daughter. I will miss your sweet kisses and your beautiful words. You have and will continue to be an inspiration to many. You were a special gift to me that I will cherish forever. I want you to know that you were "right as rain". You are now my guardian angel up in heaven.
Love and kiss forever,
Maureen
