I remember Aunt Jean always called me "Denny". She was probably one of the fewest people that ever called me that. And that always brought a smile to my face.

I had the pleasure of working with Jean at the railroad. She was a sweet and lovely woman who I loved a great deal. My prayers are with all her family at this time.

Mom - Although it was difficult to let you go, I feel honored to have been there with you in your final days to witness your transition. Knowing that you are no longer in pain brings relief to all who witnessed your pain. You are now at peace with Dad, Joey and all those who went before you. We shall all meet again sometime in the future. Until that time I shall keep you close to my heart through years of memories. Love and miss you.

Mom

I am so grateful that God grant me such a wonderful mother. My life will never be the same now that your gone. You made me the person I am today. It was a honor for me to have taken care of you. I am going to miss the little things - your smile, your laugh, our rides to the Battlefield, coming in from work and saying hi Mom and you always asking me how my day was, our cups of tea, just sitting quietly side by side and our enjoying our sundaes. You are free now and out of pain and that makes me feel at peace. Tell Dad I love him. Till we see each other again,

I love you and miss you,
Priscilla
