Not sure what to say?

It's almost been a year and I miss you more and more each day. I miss my Grammy and Grandpa both. I love you always. I hope you and Grandpa are taking care of Bernie up there; making him "plump" with lots of pig ears! Wear your seatblet!

My thoughts and prayers are with the Salontai family. Treasure your memories.

Mom, it's so hard to write this. You weren't supposed to be taken from us so soon. There are many things I'll never forget about you. Like making kiffles, telling the waitresses to "fill it to the top" when you got your coffee, not getting angry when you discovered the pet mice I had hidden in my room, knocking out the living room wall when dad was taking too long to decide whether it needed insulation or not (obviously you thought it needed it) and filling my room with "stuff" as I was...

There are few words to express the grief one feels when a special family member passes on, but the Lord calls we all must answer. Aunt Mary was a special Aunt to me and my brother. I am thankful for having been a small part of the family that included Aunt mary, her sisters Kathryn, aunt Pat and her brothers Joeseph and John.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

It's been 11 years since we were last together at the 50th Wedding Anniversary of Elmer & Brigitte, and both Aunt Mary and Uncle Andy were still at the top of their game. 10 years before that we were treated to their company when the Legion brought them to Alaska. The visit was short, but we had a great time.

Even though physically we are spread far and wide, spiritually...

My Auntie Mary...I will remember her most for her sense of humor. She could cheer you up and make you smile anytime. She was big in every way...heart, smile, laugh, generosity, and fun! She was fun!!!

As I would say to her..."I'm your favorite niece". (I don't know that to be true, but I said it anyway.)
