I Thank God for making it happen and I know you had your hands all up in it. Thank for continuing to shine your light brightly over me and tell granddad Happy Birthday!

Nan, had a balloon memorial for you. It was really nice!! And your boys were tripping how high the balloons went. I think you liked it even though you rained on us for a few minutes.
Love and miss you Pam

Nan, missing you Birthday call so it mad me sad. Thoughts of you all weekend as Chandler Graduated from Marquette. She has your birthdate on her ring and a friend of hers got her a necklace with your name inscribed on it. It was a really nice day. Love and miss you much Pam

RIP Auntie. I'm so hurt that you're gone but find peace in the fact I know you're no longer in pain and that you've joined my mother. Tell her hi. Love you so much.

Hello Mom,
You were my shining star, and my turtle dove from the very first time God entrusted me to you. He couldn't have made a better choice. I just want you to know that I have enjoyed every minute, every second, every hour, and every day we have spent together, and I especially have enjoyed my Saturdays taking care of you, cooking for you, talking, laughing, and crying with you. I don't know how I can move forward not being able to call you, or come see you, or cook for you anymore. I do know that you have been given that peace that surpasses all understanding, so with that being said spread your wings up there in Heaven, and steal the hearts of all God's angel's just as you have done down here on earth.
I Love you My Turtle Dove,
Your Daughter Carol

Lee was the first child in our family, but she was truly #1 in so many other ways. I love her and will miss her.

Dear Nan, I will miss the fun we had watching tv and just enjoying our time together. You fought an amazing battle, and as always we aspire to be like you. I will miss your cooking and my goodies bags to take home. I LOVE YOU and will try to be more like you everyday. I have big shoes to fill. Love always your Lil Sis Pam

Lee will be missed by my whole family. She was a wonderful person, a great mother and a terrific friend to my own mother, Betty. I am hoping that she will be at peace, meet all of her family and friends in Heaven, and watch over all of us, always...with our deepest sympathies, Kathy Quiroz and family, and Bill Gaffney and family
