Dear Mom,
I wrote here a week ago and it never appeared so I waited I figured you heard me anyways.
It's been 3 weeks since you suddenly left us and our lives dramatically changed in so many ways. I want you to know that Pattie and I hear you everytime you speak to Steven and GiGi and it is comforting to us and sometimes even a little humorous.
I hope that from Heaven you can see the changes taking place and that you appreciate the efforts I have been doing everything I can to make sure that everything gets done the way it needs to although some things I could have used a few more lessons on.
Watch over all of your Grandchildren please I know that each one of them has been the greatest gift in your life,I know that some were a surprise and some were such a miracle and you loved each and every one in your Grandma way!! Keep them safe.
Maybe I haven't cried as much as some but I am feeling broken none the less,I remember you telling me when Nanny died it didn't hit you until two years later and I think I may be the same way,there is so much to do and I don't want to let things fall through the cracks because I am breaking down.
We miss you and we are all doing the best we can to stick together and find a way to make you proud.
Love,
Doreen

Dear Barbara, I have know since a little girl, and boy could you scare someone for a little person and have the biggest heart all in one. We had a lot of good times, and I want to thank you for a lot of the rides to the movies, dances and other activities. But most of all I want to thank you for having such a wonderful daughter! She has been my best friend since sixth grade, and I wouldn't know what to do without her, so please look over her and her family and also Doreen and her children. God Bless you. Also do me a favor and give my Mom a big hug!!!!!

Dearest Mom,
First let me thank you for being the smallest mom who could pack a powerful look in her eye that made me never want to step out of line. I thank you for being so tough on me growing up, you made me who I am now!! I can not tell you how many times I am doing something and I think wow I feel like my mother. I want you to know I am so glad I am like you. I want you to know I saw you wave good bye to me Sunday Feb 24, approx 6:00 It woke me from my sleep I just didn't realize it was you until later that evening. If I knew I would have went back to sleep and wished for it to be a bad dream that was going to be over. I will never be the same person I was before you passed away. I am hurting more than any pain I have ever felt. I am so sorry that I couldn't save your life. I know I told you a few weeks ago that you would be the oldest living person on the planet..I long to give you the biggest hug and one last phone call. My friends and family wish they could do something for me but I am so devastated!!! My little girls cry everyday for me wanting me to get better. I need help please if there is anything you can do for me from up above!!!!!!! I Love you, mom
IZZY & GIGI love you so much!!!!

Barbara (Grandma)
From the time I started dating your granddaughter Jackie you have shared some of your most amazing life memories with me, and some lessons that I will keep with me. Though I didn't really know you that long for the time I did you treated me like part of your family and I thank you ever so much for welcoming my daughter and I into your home. I will forever be thankful that you were kind enough to except me in when I didn't have anything left. You will forever be in my heart. Rest easy Grandma He's got a lot to handle with you up there with your fighting spirit.

Grandma,
I love you so much. This has been so surreal... Even seeing your obituary hasn't even made it click that you're really gone... You always told me to be strong... I guess your wise words are sticking in my head. I miss you every single day. I have my moments, whether it be at home or at work.... You seriously made the biggest impact in my life. Thank you
for the memories I have... I will cherish them forever. I love you so much. Please watch over all of us! Love always, Your Jackie <3

Aunt Barb, I dont have to tell you how much I love you, you always knew. You were always my 2nd mother from birth, and the one person I could talk to about anything without judging me. I will miss you more than words can say, and will always treasure the memories we shared. Please give my Mom a great big hug and kiss for me. Until we meet again remember I Love You!!!XXXXOOO

Dear Mom,
I know that you did not expect to be leaving all of us so suddenly and it has been a shock for all of us left here that love you. I want you to know that I love you and Miss you everyday and that even if I didn't say it or show it enough I appreciate every sacrifice you ever made for me and my children who I know you loved more then life itself.
I realize that we had our moments and I would like to believe it is because we both had such stubborn opinionated qualities and always had to debate everything which in the end taught me some valuable lessons.
My children have been blessed to have spent there entire lives with you enjoying your words of wisdom,vacations and listening to you tell them facts they will carry with them through life.
You Loved your work and I know that is when you were happiest and felt most valued in life. I know there are people that loved you and I hope that they see this and reach out.
Somehow we all have to carry on and get to where you would want us to be safe and secure and comfortable. I hope that you are watching over all of your Grand kids Young and old keep them safe.
We love you RIP My Beutiful Mother and remind them all Dynamite Comes in Small Packages!!
Love your Daughter
