Hey Grandma, I just wanted you to know the granddaughter you never got to meet likes the same songs as you. We've been singing the 12 Days of Christmas and yesterday I brought out THE bracelet. We went through every charm for everyday of Christmas. You used to save the newspaper clippings to tell me how much it would cost every year. I google it and tell everyone that will listen.

Mom, it's hard to believe that 6 years have past. You and dad are missed terribly. You wouldn't have liked this past year. I can't imagine you wearing one of these masks and staying away from family and friends.
Put in a good word for us and keep an eye out especially for all your grandchildren.

Grandma thank you for being here as long as you did. I'm lucky to have known you all my life life.
In your honor I always set the table according to Emily Post.
In you honor I will teach my daughter to sew, so that she can learn your patience.
In your honor I will teach her to embroider, so that she too can know the beauty you created.
If ever I am lonely for you I will take the time for a sweet treat. And as always, I will eat the cherry first because you taught me there are no guarantees that it will be there at the end of the ice cream sunday.
Love always,
Katie

Mom, Sorry to keep you waiting at the Gate of Heaven last Tuesday. We got stuck at a red light... Claudia, the family and I will miss you but we take comfort in now knowing that you are watching over us from above.
If it is not too much to ask, can you somehow let me know if we have the family genealogy correct?

To Jack, children, grandchildren, and great-grands
Louise and I first connected in 1998 after I made contact with our mutual Barrett cousins online.
As I wrote to Louise just over a year ago, I cannot thank her enough for helping me to identify and learn so much about my father's Washington DC relations. I will always remember the wonderful hospitality that she & Jack extended to me, along with all of our adventures at lunch, visiting libraries, cemeteries, very distant cousins, and our favorite alley locationthe DC Archives on Naylor Court NW.
God bless you, Louiseyou were one of a kind!

Thoughts and prayers go out to Mr. Lynch "Jack" my Father-In-Law. Praying for Mike and his siblings as well - I realize just how hard it is to lose a parent. Let the "loving memories" keep you going strong. Grandma Weeze wouldn't have it any other way.....
