Mom
I´m almost your age!
I think of you every day.
Especially when I go to bingo or rinse out a glass of milk

At this time of year I'll always remember you, Cheryl, April and me in the picture of four generations of strong women at my wedding shower today, 1992. And the memory of Resorts International in 1978,. when we went to Atlantic City for 4 days during the time of only one casino to drive to. Wishing you and Kenny could've seen Encore.
Love and miss my Mom. (Betty). Aka Liz

By hook or by crook, I'll be the last to write in your book (that's what you always wrote in mine, Ma). I will love you and miss you always; but I know we will all be together again some day, and what a celebration it will be. Thank you for being my mother and my friend. You were the best ... Love, Mary

To my dear Aunt and Godmother,

I have so many wonderful memories of growing up with you and my cousins around. Visiting all of you was always fun for me and one of my favorite thing to do. I remember sleding down Crane's Hill, listening to you play the piano, and going to the park in the summer with my cousins. It feels so sad to have all the Glennon brothers and sisters gone. I miss you already. Love Donna

Nana-banana, thanks for your easy way of being; your great sense of humor and above all, your kindness. I'll never forget walking to church, going to bingo ... and playing cards. Thanks for letting me eat whatever I wanted. I'll miss you.
