Mom, I love you forever. Thank you for the chance to bring you flowers for which you named me "The flower girl", the trips to Emmitsburg to pray and most of all the faith which carries me through each and every day. You will be forever in our hearts.

Thank you, Aunt Bernie, for taking care of Grandma these past several years.
Grandma, I hope you can now look down on Bernie, and all your children, grandchildren and loved ones, and pray for us all until the day when we see you again.

Aunt Lorraine, Best friend to my mother and your sister,May and my Godmother. You and your family were our best friends growing up. If all of you weren't at our house we were at your house. Though your children were our cousins we felt we were siblings. Since the days in D.C. we haven't had as much time together but our roots and our love for each other never wavers. We celebrate your life and pray that that closeness will always be a part of our lives.
