Not sure what to say?

I am truly blessed to call you my mom! My dream was to go to Canada with you to see your childhood home,where you and dad met/married. You made that dream come true...Thank you!!! My love for you is endless...Missing you more than words can say...I will be okay..Always your little girl..Mary...

I feel like there's a crater in my heart left by the loss of beloved aunt Greta. Her front door was always wide open whenever my family went to Tempe to visit. May God cradle her family in the palm of His hand at this time. Neil, Bonnie, Bruce, Anne, Mary, and Rita, I love all of you.

We love Aunt Greta very much. Your loving smile and gentle touch will forever be in our hearts. Our love is sent to all of her family.

I just got back from the service, many thoughts of your MOM came to me. She was always smiling, had a nice word for you when I would visit your home. It was like a second home to my sister Connie and me. Our prayers are with you Neil,Bonnie,Bruce,Anne,Mary and Rita. Michael and Christine McBlane and Family.

I speak for the entire Defer Family and our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. We have such wonderful memories growing up with all of you. Our families were so close and your Mom was near and dear to us. I read the following thought somewhere and believe it to be applicable in this situation: "I like to believe that when we lose someone close to us they still live through us and give us strength. The time we have spent with those we've lost makes them part of us."
Love,...

Neil,Bonnie,Bruce,Anne,Mary&Rita.I have a million memories flashing through my head right now! The path between 5th St. and Beck Ave was traveled quite frequently! Even though it was many yrs ago, seems like yesterday. I know your mom's warm smile and especially her laugh (so cute)will be truly missed.I remember it well. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.Lots of Love! (Bonnie my email:[email protected] would love to hear from you)

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.

She was the sweetest grandma that any grandchild could ask for. She will be deeply missed. I love you grandma!
