GG,
We all love you and will miss you very much! We are all very blessed to have had you in our lives for as many years as we did. McKenna and Ariana were always proud to say they had a Great Grandma! We are happy your pain is gone and you are with your "hubby" Joe. We loved hearing your stories and watching you dance whenever you had a chance. You will be missed! We love you! Todd, Christie, McKenna and Ariana (romeo too-- you loved him the most!)

Sandy, my second mother, I love you and will miss you. You were always, always there for me and my family and you were most helpful during the growing-up years of our children, Joelle, Todd and Brad. How proud you were of our accomplishments and the Lord only knows how many times you watched over our kids while we traveled to far away places. Ellie and I always felt comfortable and safe when our kids were in your hands. Thank you for being an example of how beautiful one could be at age 98. And thank you for sharing your life with us. We will all miss you being around during all of our special occasions. Here is a photo of you opening a present on Christmas at Todd & Christies. How you loved presents, no matter how small. You did things right and I will always admire your sharp mind and independent living. And Mom don't worry, heaven will love you. Especially in your pink dress. Dance on! All my love, Joe

I will miss you and love you forever grandma and I’m very thankful for our family. I can’t believe how many wonderful lives exist because of you. I’m so happy that Jacob and Francesca got to know you. Thanks for taking such good care of yourself. Some of the things I’ll remember about you are, how your home always stayed the same, your love for music, the smell of your black fur coat when you gave me a hug, the candy and gum that tasted like your purse, the way you moved your leg when you enjoyed the song that was playing. The way you held my hand when we danced at wedding receptions, the fancy dresses you would wear, the tangy taste of your apple sauce, the bags and bags of Italian prunes, the McDonald's and Taco Time napkins, the familiar smell of your kitchen, the thanks I always received for the plants I gave to you, and the way you would say "oh..Go-on" and hit me with your cane. :) You’ll always have a special place in my heart. God bless you, Grandma; see you in heaven, xoxo, Brad.

My Grandma~

I probably didnt tell you face to face all these years, but I am so thankful for having you in my life these past 42 years! I could always depend on seeing you at every birthday, holiday and activity/recital for myself, TJ and Brad! You were proud of us and we knew it! I also thank you for my mother, she is truly the BEST gift you could have ever given to us and I hope you know how much she loved you!! I know you are at peace now and sharing your life with your loved ones that passed before you and that makes me smile. I love you and will miss you....

So many years and so many memories Delores. Upon my few visits to you in high school she was always so enthusiastic and out going.
( remember Phil Bruno as well )
I assume you are still as pretty as you have always been, and I have never forgotten your beautiful voice.
My best to you and your sister during this difficult time.
Sincerely
Paul Loberg
