Grandmas are special people and your gentle and kind ways will live in my memory. You spent your life caring for others and I always knew by your unspoken words that you understood. I miss our tea time and our heart-to-heart conversations especially the stories of your childhood. You were a source of joy to everyone and now the world is a lonelier place without you. Much Love, Theresa

Mom,
Just wanted to say you are in our hearts & prayers. I know that you are with Dad who has been waiting over thirty years for you. I remember how he suffered & you were by his side 24/7. I always prayed that no one should have to go through that much pain. It seemed to work as you peacefully closed your eyes & went to sleep. I love & miss you.

Grandma(Mom's mom's mom!),
I remember growing up and our Sunday visits. Oh how I was afraid to let my ice pop drip on the patio! You always loved cleaning and taking care of your family. I remember the time I spent with you after grandpa died. It brought us closer together and that memory will remain with me always. I'm happy my boys had the opportunity to meet their great-grandmother. I know you and Louis had quite a few laughs. He still hates to lose!! Well rest peacefully grandma your life was full.
Love, Miss America #1-Frances Ann

Mom,
You were the inspiration in my life. You taught me right from wrong, good from bad,to be honest with myself and to others. You taught me to treat others, the way I wanted to be treated.
You and Dad raised 6 good children, each different in their own ways,but alike in so many ways. You always protected us and cared for us, no matter what the situation. You were and still are my heart, and soul. You put your kids above all else. We were your life and you ours.
You will live within me all my life, even in death I will see your love and warmth.
Some of me died with you, but when the sun broke thru on that snowy day after the church service, I knew the way to heaven was open to you- it is true God only takes the best!
I will always love you Mom, you are with me in all I do.
Thanks for being my Mom!
Love is forever & so are you,
Donald

My Dearest Mom: It's Patsy again. Just thinking about you again and just wanted to tell you that you had touched so many lives in so many ways. You truly touched mine. You were the most caring and giving person that I know. You truly will be missed but never forgotten. Remember you will always live in my heart forever! Rest with the angels. All my love always!

My Dear Gram~ I was so lucky to have you there throughout so many phases of my life and am so thankful for the many years you blessed my world. We had an unspoken understanding of each other and a rare connection. I remember during a particularly rough time in your life you wrote to me about that connection. We shared a lot during that time, and those moments will always stand among my proudest achievements—moments that my Grandmother felt I was worthy of her trust and confidence. You know that I returned the same feelings for you, Gram, and always held our special bond close to my heart. We all have a lot of healing to do, and we are counting on you to help us through. And we know you will because that's what you do. We all owe you Gram—we are all better people because you touched our lives so deeply. You listened, never judged, and everyone always felt they could tell you anything. You have our secrets and stories that we know are safe with you forever. I’ll never forget that last laugh you gave me in the hospital. That is what I’ll remember—the infectious energy and spirit that was uniquely yours, and that lives on in each and every one of us. You are with me always. “Jo-sef-o”.

My Dearest Mom, how do I begin to tell you how much you meant to me. I hope you knew I loved you not only as your daughter in law but I thought of you as my Mom. Your unfaltering love, caring and kindness went beyond any mother's expectations. I will miss and cherish every waking minute we spent together. I also want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for being the greatest Grandmother any child could ever have. You were an angel sent from heaven and Dominick was so lucky to have you. It is so hard to let you go and say goodbye but in my heart I know you were so tired and you are now at peace with the angels in heaven. You will always live in my heart. Remember our promise to each other. I will be waiting for a sign. Until we meet again, goodnight sweet angel, you have earned your wings. Love always and forever, Patti.

Hi, Aunt Ann; it's me again!
Please say "hello" to my grandparents (your mom and dad), whom I never met. Also, please say "hello" to "Fat Cheeks" the squirrel! Miss you terribly! If only we could've danced one last polka.
I will see you again and we'll both fly on the wings of an angel and will dance that polka.

Dear Gram,
Thank you for being there for me when I needed you most. I will miss all our chats. You were able to make me laugh with your stories. Dunkin Donuts will never be the same for me.
Rest well, sleeping princess.
Your will remain in my heart.
Love always,
