Georgia, from all of the stories Carmen has told me you sounded like an AMAZING person! I will always remember and be thankful for the breast cancer pins you helped sell for my walk. Your generosity speaks volumes! You will be missed by many.

Grandma,
You were far away geographically but still close to my heart. You are what help keep the core of our extended families together and showed us how to enjoy life.
You will be dearly missed by us all. Thankyou for the wondrous memories you have given me. Thankyou for lighting the world with your free spirit and loving ways.

Dear Grandma: Thanks for believeing in me when no one else would. You were a second mother to me. You took me under your wing numerous times when I was alone and afraid. You counceled me. You taught me. You cherished me. You told others that I was worth loveing and you loved me unconditionally. When others said I was not right you told them I was. You will always be in my heart and your wisdom will always walk beside me. I love you "MOM"-Grandma

Grandma was one of the strongest women I have ever known. I love her and miss her so much. One of my best memories was when I was little, she used take me down to DeRosa's and buy me banana popsicles.
I am sad that I won't be able to be there with the rest of the family. I love you grandma, you were my hero.
