My Grandmother was a kind and generous woman. She will always be in my heart. I have very special memories of her. As kids, she always made sure we were comfortable, whether that meant home-cooked food, an extra blanket, a listening ear, or her prayers. Her voice always picked up when I called or visited, signaling a happy tone and delight to hear from her oldest grandchild. When we had to move, we always stayed in touch. Whether by phone or letter or visit, we knew what was our "going-ons". I always looked forward to my visits to Buffalo. Later in life, when I got married, she embraced my beautiful wife as her own granddaughter. When my daughter was born, she was the among the happiest well-wishers. She will always be remembered, always felt, always cherished. She was a woman of excellence. Although gone, she will be forever in my heart. Godspeed.

I asked the Lord today as I prayed, to keep the Angels around you and guide you threw this time of sorrow.
I am sure our Lord will keep you safe and help you at this time and I am here to lend an ear at any given time.I want to say I am sorry for not being there and paying my respects, but Aunt Jennie knows that without a doubt I love her and I know that she has made it safely past the pearly gates. I want to remember my Aunt in the way she was, a good mother and a special wife. She was a woman who never held a grudge and she cared about everyone. She was a special woman with a heart of gold. I just want to remember her as the best baker and of all the holiday parties you and she threw, just to see us, when we were all lil' kids, laughing, screaming so full of joy. What she did for one you both did alike for the others, never showing favorites. I know there were many times you both made my saddests days brighter and I love you both for that. A special note to my Aunt.....say hello and give my Mom and Pops and Johnny too, all the hugs and kisses you possibly could. I'll catch up to all of you when my Higher Power calls, but for now I just want to say that I love you most of all.
As for my Uncle Mike, I will be calling you soon, but for now its time for peace and quiet as you have been threw so much. Now please do take care, rest and relax and remember I am here. Love, niece Jane.
God Bless You and may He keep you in his care. Until.....
