Dear Helen and Teresa,

I just read in Sunday's paper that your Mother and Grandmother had passed away. I'm so sorry for your loss and that I was unable to attend the viewing. I've thought about all of you so often. Irene was a good neighbor, she always had the 411 on everything and everybody in the neighborhood without even leaving the house. If you needed to know something you would call her. She kept an eye out for all of us..I still get a good laugh just thinking about all the...

Dear Helen, What an extra ordinary day today was. God was at his best with the sun blazing and ducks flying high above the gravesite. What a glorious homecoming. And I am sure that Kenny was there to greet her along with all our loved family. Please remember that you and your girls are very loved and very needed. We shall be there for one another ....With much love,

Dear Cousin Helen and Family -
Your Mom/Grandma/Great Grandma left footprints on the hearts of all who knew her. You were so blessed to have her as long as you did - and I feel blessed that as my aunt, she was always there to celebrate a special occasion. As a child I remember that speaking of Uncle Tony and Aunt Irene was as if you said one name - they were so close.
I believe in my heart that my parents were among the first to greet Aunt Irene as she entered the gates of...

Please forgive me Grandma for not being there. My heart has been in pieces knowing that I cannot be there. I never thought that I would be feeling so much pain, but it has broken my heart that I wasn't able to be there to see you just one last time. There has not been a day now that I don't think of the things that I should have done more of. I will forever cherish the last phone call we shared.

Your great-granddaughters, Skyler and Sydney, were very fortunate to have known their...

May you find comfort in the memories that are yours to cherish always, strength in the companionship of those who share your loss, and peace in the promise that life is everlasting. Your Mother's journey was a long one ..... and she is finally at peace. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Cousin Helen and Family,

I regret that I will not be able to make it back to pay my final respects to Aunt Irene. I am glad that my son was able to visit with her. He was amazed at how smart she was "for someone her age'" My wife also enjoyed the time she had to visit with her.

I will always remember our visits to Uncle Tony's and Aunt Irene's home when I was a young boy.

Our prayers are with all of you.

Dear Irene:
NO MORE PAIN . . . NO MORE SUFFERING. MAY YOU NOW BE AT REST, AND ENJOY EVERLASTING PEACE AND HAPPINESS WITH OUR RISEN LORD.
REQUIEM AETERNAM DONA EIS DOMINE; ET LUX PERPETUA LUCEAT EIS.

Dear Cousin Helen and Family,

We would like to express our deepest sympathy to you. We so enjoyed visiting with Aunt Irene at the Holy Family Cancer Home. Aunt Irene was so in touch with everything around her and seemed very happy.

I will always cheerish my childhood memories of Aunt Irene and the most recent ones visiting with my mother and daughter. Jacque was so taken with her Great Aunt, and her puzzles, newspaper articles and TV trivia.

She was truly a blessing...

Dear Sister and Aunt Irene,

Our hearts were torn in two for the one we loved. No goodbyes were exchanged, but you are at peace with the Lord and will always be in our hearts.

We will miss visiting you at the Holy Family home. When I (John) do the puzzles in the paper I will always think of you.

Love you always,
