six months of not hearing you curse or yell at us- six months since any of us could turn to you for help. we all think of you all the time and really miss you. Easter was hard but please be with us with next month! I think that we could all use it.
I Love you Big Nan...

Big Nan, we all miss you and love you very much. The holidays were hard but we all managed to get through them- it was different. We all missed you so much. I don't think that will ever fade.. everyone says that it will get easier with time- but they didn't have you to get over- you were so much more than a grandmother- you were BIG NAN...
I love you and miss you with all my heart!

Big-nan , I just want to let you know, we all miss you and Love you dearly

Dear Mom,
It is three days after Christmas and I survived but not without my heart breaking because you are so very missed. Every time someone would open the door,I would think here she comes and I would hear you cursing at someone or something. But you never did come through the door and that night it me that we will no longer spend christmas with and how I miss you. so now that I love and that my life will never be tha same

It's Christmas Eve as I write this and I think back to all the years spending with Mrs. McClain or to me- Mom. From the start of the season hearing her say "I'm not going all out this year with the decorations I've had enough" to pulling up at the house on Clayton Street and the house being lit up like it was every year and it looking beautiful with the reindeer that she loved and the wreaths in her windows that she was so proud of making and doing the christmas shopping for all her...

Dear Joanne and Family.
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your grandmom. my deepest sympathy and condolences go out to you- I only met her a few times with you in the infusion room, but from what I could tell, she was a phenominal person with a great sense of humor and a strong will. She will be missed. If you need anything please call.

your nan used to call me and my brother the south philly boys....

Dear "Jo-Jo" and family.
Your Big Nan was always a very nice person. Although I only knew her for a short time- the time i was able to spend with her every morning was delightful. She was so energetic and all she talked about was going back to cleaning houses. She was a remarkable woman and someone I will miss and cherish always.
Jo-Jo:: you did so much for your Big Nan- I know that she really appreciated and loved you for that. You are a great granddaughter. If you or your family...

Dear Betty and Family,
My sympathy and prayers are with you all, as you deal with the loss of your Sister Joan. I am sorry that I could not attend the services. I will be in touch with you in a few days.
Love

Steph, I remember coming over your "Big Nan's" house all the time when we were in high school. Her house was absolutely beautiful!! Carol told me she had a good talk with your Grandmom right before she moved.
I'm sorry this all happened so fast, but I know she's in a better place. If you guys need anything, let me know!! Please extend my gratitute to your mom and the rest of your family.
Love
