Not sure what to say?

To this day I think of Fanny with a sense of loss, a loss of a friend. It isn't every day that you meet a sincere, kind person such as Fanny, they are few and far between. Thank you Fanny for the time you gave to me with your uplifting chats.

Fanny was an amazing women . She would brighten up the world with her smile. She was very kind. She became very close to my grandparents. She eventually became part of the family. From going to doctor appointments together to going out for lunch. She was very caring with my grandparents. We loved her dearly. Miss you so much Fanny

I would like to say that I miss Fanny's bright light. Fanny was kind and understanding and always made herself available for a little uplifting chat. I also would like to say that I think of the loss her family feels everyday, it breaks my heart. Fanny is in my thoughts and prayers.

No puedo creerlo, ya me parecía raro que mi querida Fanny no me comentaba nada en Facebook. Una hermosa y gran persona. Querida Famny Gelpieryn tienes un lugar en mi corazón por siempre!

I can still hear Fannys laugh and hear the song in her voice that warmed me. She treated me like family from the first time I met her, 23 years ago. Two of Fannys granddaughters are my daughters and her son is my ex-husband. Till the day she passed, I could call Fanny anytime and talk. I visited her last summer with my daughter. Fanny commented on my girls Facebook pages with positive remarks that were cherished and made them feel loved. Fanny always knew what to say and how to say things...

I have so many fond memories of Fanny and James, since going to school with Sandy since 3rd grade. Sandy and I would take turns having sleepovers at each other's house. It was then where I first experienced what a truly loving, kind and generous family they were. Even Fanny's father, who lived nearby, always had a smile and would immediately offer you anything he had during even the shortest of visits. Today, I light this candle in honor of Fanny. Her bright light and kindness has...

I met Fanny many years ago when I applied for a pharmacy Tech job at Rite Aid I turned out we new each other by site because she lived in the building next to mine. She was the one who taught me everything about the computer and we became fast friends from then on. I will miss her terribly.

So beautifully written. Fanny will now be known to millions more who read this and feel enriched and inspired by her remarkable - and it seems always glass-half-full - personality and life.
I never knew her, but sure wish I had, and am grateful to her family for sharing this perfect biography (though I'm sure there is much more!) of their beloved mother, grandmother and mother-in-law. She clearly lives on in all of you - even now she continues to make a difference in the world. Thank you.
