Not sure what to say?

Aunt Theresa, I will always remember your beautiful smile. You are a wonderful lady and you continue to be in my prayers.

Ma - you were the best Mother-in-law a person could possibably ever have. Having you in my life for over 40 years is second only to marrying one of your daughters and having two beautiful daughters of my own.

Always there, always supportive. Never a cross word.

It is truly an honor to have you as a roll model for our two daughters who adored you.

Mrs. Smolko was always busy doing something. Her work is now finished and it is time for her to rest. My prayers are with all of her family and friends.

I miss you and love you.
