To Sunny Girl:
Our love for each other was very deep. Your final destination is in heaven with Tony and all of your beloved family. I can see the smile back on your face again. I am thankful for the year we had with each other sharing our memories and deepest secrets. I little knew that morning that God was going to call your name. In life I loved you dearly, in death I do the same. It broke my heart to lose you, you did not go alone; for part of me went with you, the day God called you home. You left me peaceful memories, and though I cannot see you, you are always by my side. Our family chain in broken, and nothing seems the same; but as God calls us one by one, the Chain will link again. Loving you always, your sister Lucille

Mom, where do I even begin? I still keep thinking I'm going to wake up and this is all a bad dream. I watched as you lost the love of your life and saw your life forever changed. You did what you thought was best and moved back to New York. You always told me it didn't matter where you lived, you weren't going to be the same. You had just made the decision to move back to Las Vegas, you knew I needed you here. I was supposed to be picking you up on Tuesday for your trip out here. I never imagined this was how you were going to come home. Mom, my heart tells me you saw Daddy with Katelyn and you didn't look back, you knew you were going to be whole again because you were with Daddy. You always called me your rock, Mom right now your rock is shattered into pieces. I don't know how to do this without you, I'm lost. I know you want me move forward with my new normal, whatever that may be. I'm trying, I promise you.. I promise to try everyday. I can hear you say to me "big hug, big hug, can you feel it?" I would give anything mom to feel your arms around me one more time. Now I get the last word and can finally say, I love you more... Mommy, I love you more....

To my Aunt, Godmother, Friend and only person that could ever get away with calling me Kelley Ann. One thing both my parents have instilled in me is that family always comes first. They taught me to love and cherish the people in my life when they are alive so that when their body leaves this earth, you can truly celebrate their life and have no regrets. I have no regrets and have so many memories of you. Most importantly, I wouldn't be with the love of my life without your influence. "You need to come down to my house and meet Steven's friend Anthony." So, I guess you can add match maker to your list of credentials. I can make a pretty mean pot roast thanks to you and let's not forget all the weekends (dirty laundry and all, thank you Uncle Tony)spent at your house where I'd wake up in the morning and reheat some cappellini. I am so thankful for our talks, your guidance, advice or sometimes it may have been a look passed between us, but you picked up what I was laying down and vice versa. I love the relationship you had with Nicholas, he adored you, he loved your chicken divan and I know he really had a great time when you stayed at my house in November. You will always be in my heart and I will always have a part of you here, because I have your dining room set and Christmas tree that you gave me. I know you are in a better place and I know you are at peace and I know that you know I loved you. Love always, Kelley Ann aka, your favorite niece in the whole wide world PS, I got to pick out the picture for your obituary, and if I do say so myself----you look marvelous

To my Aunt/God Mother/Woman not afraid to discipline me when I was bad as a little boy.....I will truly miss seeing your face and talking to you every day. I can say that I have been very lucky and fortunate to have had you so close living with your sister this past year. You have been a sounding board and a great source of guidance and advice to me through the years. I promise from this point forward I will respect your wishes and stop buying you birthday and Christmas presents.
Love Always,
Jeffery
