Dear Jeannie,

My family and I are so sorry for your loss. Your Mother, although I never met her, must have been one of the special people we hold most dear. I can't think of a better tribute to her grace, warmth, and style than to recognize the same gifts flow from you, without end, to all around you.

I wish you the best of her memories and the happiest and healthiest times for you and your family.

With love,

Jeff, Rhonda, Leah and Adam Rosenbaum

Dearest Mom,
Knowing you and having you in my life is a gift that I will always keep.
You will live in my heart forever. When I look at my daughters and my grandchildren I see you. When I hear the bagpipes I will feel your spirit. Your jokes and tricks are legendary, your winks and nudges would draw us in close making each of us feel really special.
TO YOU MOM,
to a job very well done as a mother, grandmother and great grandmother, an absolute wonderful woman going through life with an open mind and open heart.
CHEERS
Peace and Love Forever,
Arleen

Auntie Margaret was such a special part of my childhood! I will always remember the time she came over to swim in my (baby)pool, when I was about four years old, suited up in her bathing cap, old fashioned bathing suit, and flippers; Or the time she dressed up backwards and sat in my rocking chair to scare me (she did)! She was such a character! I still have and tresure the kilt, the blue purse and doll she brought me back from Scotland many years ago! I can still here her voice telling me in that Scottish brouge to "kiss me quick, nothing makes me sick" or talking about my "moosey brun hair".
I will keep many loving memories of her and Uncle Frankie in my heart always! Much love to Jeannie and Jimmy, and all the kids! Our thoughts and prayers are with you! I'm sure she's up there playing Pokeno with "the aunts" and they're all happy to be together! She will be missed!
Much love!

I will always remember Auntie Margaret for her amazing wit and sense of unending humor. I will always keep a china cup in my home to remember her by. My thoughts and prayers are with Jeannie, Jim and the family.
