Hi Nana,

Today is Halloween and I am really thinking of you - this is my first time in years not requesting off from HD to come help you hand out candy. Last year, we had Uncle Bobby with us and it was fun. You know I never meant anything when you would want me to shut off the light by 7 and I would insist on keeping it on longer - you were a great person and I miss you very much. I went to your house last Thursday to mail stuff out to Uncle Bobby and all I did was cried. RIP and love you always, Sandy

October 19, 2011

Nana you have been gone for a little over a couple weeks and I am missing you more and more each day. I know you were getting tired and lonely and I feel so bad - but I just wish you hadn't given up so soon. Tonight I went to the grocery store and I could do is think about the stuff I would go and get for you. I will come and visit you sometime soon, RIP and love always, Sandy

October 15, 2011

Ma, you are missed very much. Now you are with Dad,Willy,Billy,Danny,Ricky.We miss not seeing you any more or calling your house to check on you. I love you and will never forget you. Rest in peace,Love Always,Mary-Ann

Nana,

I still can not believe you are gone. That Saturday you went to the hospital seemed no different than any other time, who would have thought you would have to go to the nursing home and then never come back :-( I already miss you so much and don't know what I'm going to do without you. You were the best grandmother anyone could ask for - and I was so lucky to have you for this long. You are forever in my heart. I love you always, Sandy
