Grandma, Words cannot express what I feel right now. I know that you are not in pain and in the most beautiful place you could ever be, and although that is comforting, it also brings great sadness to me. I miss you so much and was so thankful I got to visit and spend time with you in your last days! I have so many great things to tell Connor, as he grows up, about you! About your beautiful smile especially! I love you so much Grandma! ....Until we meet again! -Lindsey

I want to express my sorrow at the passing of your Mother, and so sorry we lost touch. I am your Mother's first cousin, Marilyn Johnston Speedy of Youngtown, AZ, formerly of Bradford, PA. Your Grandfather Kenneth, and my Mother Vivian were brother and sister.I can remember your grandparents visiting us and after your Grandmother died, Uncle Kenneth would visit my Mother when she lived in Falconer, N.Y.
I saw this obituary this morning in the Arizona Republic, and was so surprised when I recognized my Family names!
Again , please accept my sympathy in the passing of your Mother.
