Dear Old Friends,

Our family shares in your sorrow, but we remember those happy days on Winona Street when we lived next door, and all of us played in our big yard. Your good memories will sustain you during this time and in the years to come.

Sincerely,

Dear Yia Yia,

I have so many fond memories of you as I was growing up. You were always there for my birthdays and holidays. When my parents would go on vacation, you would watch me sometimes and let me put sugar on my Cheerios. I remember you always having a box of Cracker Jacks for me when I came to visit and sitting at your kitchen table eating cereal with that silly little spoon with the loop on the end. I always thought your kitchen was so cool because you had a blue bench built into the wall like at a 50's diner. I remember Easters at your house when we would crack the red eggs and eat your fabulous cooking! You will forever be in my heart and undoubtedly in the hearts of all who knew you. I hope you know how much you touched my life over the years and that you are now at peace.

Love,

Your Granddaughter, Melissa
