Not sure what to say?

How much I already miss Grandma. She poured out so much love upon her family, and made us all feel so special! I thank God for all the precious memories that were built over the years! We'll miss you, Grandma!

I will always remember the many stories Grandma shared with me. She was very proud of her entire family. She will always remain close in my heart. I love you Grandma, see you later.

I have so many precious memories of my Great-Grandma. She (tried!) to teach me how to crochet, loved to bake with me, took me swimming, and I enjoyed overnighters at her apartment when we'd talk for hours. ...And she was always reminding me that not even the fact that she was my Grandma could make her let me win at bingo. :-) I feel so blessed to not only have known her, but to have loved her and been close with her. I hope I can live my life with half of the vavacity with which she lived hers.

Dear sweet Aunt Jo, a wonderful cook and a gracious hostess among alot of other attributes. Her legacy lives on in all of us. She will be missed.

Memories abound, but one not mentioned prominently was her ability to play poker. She always did more than hold her own in any holiday card game, even with all of the astute male gamblers in the Vanario/Oriti family. Just one of the wonderful things we'll always remember about her.

BILL & MARLENE, SO SADDEN TO LEARN OF MOM'S PASSING. FROM WHAT YOU HAVE TOLD ME, SHE HAD A GOOD AND LASTING LIFE. MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU.

My thoughts and Prayers are with you at this time of sorrow Grandma was one of the sweetest women I've ever met! She will be missed greatly.

Just as you shared the stories of your life and family, we will continue to pass these on through the generations. Grandma, you will always live on in my heart and memories. You will be missed.

Dear Rosie and Family,
John and I were saddened to read of your mother's passing. She certainly had a great and long life. John's father just passed at 89 years, and we are very proud of how strong and vibrant he was to the end. We have all been blessed by strong parents and their legacy is for us to do our very best at all times. We are praying for your family and have asked God to give you all peace.
