Sheila and Debbie,
I tried to write the perfect note, but figured out the truth is best. I'm so glad I took the frightening ride to CT. I wouldn't have had it any other way. As far as mothers, mother inlaws, and nanas; She was the best. She loved you guys so much, and you know it. She always had a smile, even when she didn't want to ( cake fight). Now with Jim, Uncle Joe and many others she is " smilin' while she's slidin' ". Smile when you think of her, you were her angels,, now she is yours. love you both.

Mom,
Please look over your family in this time of need. Send them signs that things are ok and will get better as time goes. Forgiving can be easy but forgetting is never easy and that is one thing that can never be done for you. I will never forget you neither will your family! Give my friends (Deb and Sheila) the strength to get through this tough time.

Love your "adopted" daughter-Marian

I first met Joan at PreHab Sports as a patient there. She was always so nice to me and I was lucky enough to spend some time with her outside of her work. I know her and Mary Morgan were very close too as these worked closely together for years.
I consider myself honored to have touched lives with her and her presence will be missed by all who knew and loved her.

We laughed, we cried, we shared special moments. I will ALWAYS remember every day together with you. You will forever be missed but will always be in my heart. I know you are not alone...it doesn't make it less painful. The angels will hold you under their wings as you fly away from us. I love you very much and I thank God for bringing you to us. Forever your daughter, Deb
