As the years pass by, I know you are still watching over our family. I only wish my lil girl could've met you, she would've given you so many smiles and laughs. She has so much spunk and a lot of personality. I do tell her all the time about how special my Gram was. The kindest soul she would've ever known. Although I do look back when she was an infant and I would be holding her late at night and she would be staring at the wall and then just start smiling, and I do believe it was you she was looking at and it just melted my heart. I did tell you "Hi Gram" and then said "ok now your scaring me" (lol) after she did it a few times. I do wish you would come back so I could see her zoning off and just smiling at the wall again and I could say "Hi" and let her know, that's you and to just know that you are still there. You kept us all grounded in this family and god do I miss our talks and hugs! I love you to the moon and back Gram. Please keep watch over my lil girl for me when I am not around her. I know you are her guardian angel and it puts my mind at ease! I Love you and miss you

These have been the hardest 3 years of my life without you. I know you are watching over me, and you are my guardian angel but selfishly that's not enough. People use to tell me it gets better as time goes by. But I still hurt the same as I did the day you left me. I love you so much and miss you tremendously.

In Loving Memory of my Gram!! You are the most loving, caring, giving and strongest woman I'll ever know. You have made me into the person that I am today and I want to say "Thank You". Thank you for all the lessons you have taught me and the unconditional love you gave me. And Thank You for all the memories that I cherish everyday. "Thank You for everything" I miss so much and you will always have a piece of my heart. I'm not going to say good bye because I still talk to you everyday, and I know you are still around and watching all of us (you are our angel)... I Love You Gram and I'll be talking with you..

In loving memory of my mother, my best friend. You are the most loving and caring person I have ever known. You always thought of others before yourself. You have influenced my life in so many ways. I have been truly blessed to have you for my mother. Not a day will go by without me missing you and remembering another memory of you. I know you are surrounded by your angels now and brighting their lives as much as did ours. I miss you mom, you will be in my heart forever. I love you.

In loving memory of my dearest friend, Irene. The whole Rispoli family extends their deepest condolences to the Reed Family on their profound loss. She was truly one of the kindest, most caring and generous souls God ever created and will be missed by so many people.
We had such a close and wonderful friendship that will personally leave a big void in my life for she was more than just a friend, she was family. She will forever live on in my heart, thoughts and prayers for she was deeply loved. Our love and prayers are with the entire family at this very difficult time.
