Gram, I just found out about this guest book today. (not to mention, I just got online). You are still in my thoughts often. You were a wonderful person. I miss you very much. You passed away the day before my birthday, and the morning of my birthday, I was driving to work, and I saw a shooting star. All I thought when I saw it was that you were wishing me a happy birthday from Heaven. A big smile came over my face, and I said "thank you Gram."
I love you very much, Love, Kim

Legacy.com could not be a more appropriate site. You are definitely a legacy. Distance has kept us from seeing you as often as we would have liked, but I will always remember the phone calls. Your memories were always so lucid and your laugh infectious and contagious. I have always been amazed at how you still found laughter in life. You lived your life with very little wealth, but you have riches in life most of us will never see or appreciate as you did. You are a legacy and will be greatly...

Gramma,
I know that Grampa, Uncle Ray, and Aunt Catherine are as glad to see you as we are sorry not to.

I thought of a little poem for you:

Proudly I have inhereted your genes,
And, as I turned 50 this year,
With a smirk, Jason realized just what it means,
That I am only halfway there.

Love you,
Joanne, Jason, and Dakota

God bless you did more than your share for him. love Alice

Dear Mom, We did our best to give you happiness as you got older and became more dependent on us. It was an honor for me to have you in my home when you entered your reward of salvation. With humility I prepared for your funeral and watched in awe as your life was honored by so many. I have such a deep love and so much to be grateful for in being a part of the family that you and Dad brought into this world. You have run a good race, you have finished and not you have found your peace with...

Gramma,
I will always have some special memories of you and your time here on earth. I would like to share just a few with your family and friends.
Your Sweedish Meatballs YUM! YUM! they were the best.

The knitted slippers that you used to make. They were the warmest slippers I've ever had.

Spending the night at your house in Ashaway RI and having shake-n-bake pork chops for the first time.

Visiting you last summer and questioning you...
