Not sure what to say?

Nana, I miss you so much. I had a dream about you the other night. My kids ran up to you like they had known you forever. It makes me believe that you´ve visited them. You passed when I was 17 and now I´m 34. I´ve lived half my life without you now and I wish I had all the years we spent together back. You were and always will be one of the greatest things in my life. I just wish I could hug you one more time and say I love you, because I do. I love you Nana. You´re "favorite"...

Dear Mom,

Its been over a year and I still have yet to come to terms with the fact that there isn't "anymore". No more hugs, no more phone calls, no more visits, no more JoAnn Fabric trips and no more "just a minute". Sometimes what we care about the most gets all used up and goes away, never to return except in our dreams. No last chance to say good-bye or "I love you".

I miss you Mom. We all do, especially Dad. Sometimes I just feel lost. I don't think you ever knew...

Mike, Pat and Family: I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your Mom. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Mike & Pat,

Sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. My prayers are with you and your family.

Dear Denise, Margie and Family...
We're so sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. We hope your memories of your Mom help heal the pain.
Thinking of you all...
Joe and Colleen Bona

Mary,

My heartfelt sympathy goes out to you and your family at this very tough time. I know first-hand what it is like to lose your parents.

In the event you or any of your family needs anything, please feel free to call on me.

Mary, your Mom and Dad can be proud to have raised a wonderful daughter like you and, from what I have heard, a great family.

Draw strength from each other now and always.

Dear Sue,

I am very sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. I noticed the Obit this morning and immediately thought of you. It is always hard to lose a parent and you have my deepest sympathies. I konw we haven't talked since the Courier Express, but I always have asked about what you and your family. I work with Marcy Lombardo (Walker) at the Buffalo News. I have been here since the Courier went down, 24 years now!

Take Care,
Bob Sinclair

To the Pettys family,
Not sure if you remember me, my parents owned the 7/11 Store around the corner many years ago. I just heard of the passing of your beloved mother/wife/grandma and had to pass along the fact that no matter how long it's been I always remember what a loving family you were. I have always hoped to have the same, and I do. Even when Patrick and Michael muddied up their first Communion suits (WHITE!) I remember your mom smiling through gritted teeth! What a woman!
