Not sure what to say?

Mom-
You were truly our "Angel on Earth." You taught me so much about how to care and love for others. You were such a special lady! Kevin and Keith have so many wonderful memories of you and Papa and all our summer vacations. Makenzie and Madison will miss their "Gigi." I wish Cody and Chase would have had the opportunity to know and love "Grammy" as the girls did. Ken and I will miss you and all the love and support you have always given us. I am sure God has a very "special"...

My condolances to Eve's family, also known as "Sassy" to those of us who took care of her at Manorcare. The world is a less brighter place without her. She always looked out for others above herself. I miss her but am very glad to have gotten to know her and her family.

Grandma,

I have so many good memories of you. You were so generous and always interested in me and everyone else you met.

We will keep your memory in our hearts.

Love,
Kelly

My condolences to the Franks Family on the loss of their Mother. I remember her as a very kind person to my sister Joyce and I when ever we went there after school with Claudia and Cindy. I also remember the great time I had with the family at the cottage (the 4 C's) one summer. I am sure she is enjoying her reunion with your DAD.

To the Franks family -

Your Mom was wonderful. The warmth she honored us with is something I will always remember. I can't quite put it into words, but you know that your dad is glad they're together.

From an unknown author:
"Perhaps they are not the stars, but rather openings in Heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy."

To the Family of Eve Franks:
Your mom was one special lady. When I worked for your Dad about 18 years ago on 71st Street, your mom always made me feel like part of the family. She was always doing for everyone else. She was remarkable. I will miss her personal Christmas cards that kept me updated on her family. My Deepest Sympathy to all of you.

Dear Cyndi and family,
I think she'd would have said something like this:

If I should go tomorrow
It would never be goodbye,
For I have left my heart with you,
So don't you ever cry.
The love that's deep within me
Shall reach you from the stars,
You'll feel it from the heavens,
And it will heal the scars.

All of you daughters should be proud to have had a mom like "Eve". My mom was fairly new to Manorcare Parma and when your mom spotted her sitting in the dining area alone, she took it upon herself to invite my mom to her table and join her and the rest of her friends. Though many residents of Manorcare were devestated on your mom's departure, they remembered fond memories of their time spent with her. She expressed her fondness of her home on Montello to me and I was fortunate to meet...

Dear Mom,
It was a bittersweet birthday for me. You brought me into the world on this date and you exited the world on this date. I'm happy that you are at peace. I miss you already.
love, Claudia Eve
