Weep not for me though I am gone into that gentle night.Grieve if you will, but not for long upon my soul's sweet flight.I am at peace, my soul's at restThere is no need for tears.For with your love I was so blessed.For all those many years.There is no pain, I suffer not,The fear now all is gone.Put now these things out of your thoughts,In your memory I live on.Remember not my fight for breathRemember not the strife.Please do not dwell upon my death,But celebrate my life.
With deepest sympathy ~ The Garrity's

Dear Lisa,
I worked for Peoples in Monroe and had the chance to see what a great family you all were. The stories your grandparents told of the family and also their trips to Australia were wonderful. May you always hold dear the memories and know she will continue to be with you as the angel of family love. God bless all of you.

Grandma,
Words cannot describe how much I miss you. It doesn't seem real to me that you are gone, but knowing that you aren't in pain anymore brings peace to my heart. You were such a fighter and you NEVER gave up. I know it was hard for you to smile sometimes and I am sorry if I pushed you too hard when I went to therapy with you at Cambridge. I just wanted you to get stronger so you could come home and be with Grandpa and your family. You were the best role model to me, Allie and Alyssa. I pray one day I will emulate you and be a role model to my grandchildren and great-grandchildren just like you. Every time I give my grandkids ice-cream at 5:00 before dinner, I will laugh and think of you! Thank you for all the unconditional love you gave to me for over 39 years and for teaching me what's important in life; love, respect, values and family traditions. I hope you are proud of the beautiful legacy you and Grandpa created. Please watch over Grandpa and give him the strength to move on. He loves you and misses you more than you can imagine. I know you will be his guardian angel and will watch over him. Please send him a sign that you are ok and that you are with him. That would make him so happy. My mom, Aunt Roseann and all the family will never let him be alone. I know I will see you again one day. Go eat your Nips, all the corn and watermelon you want, clip your coupons and chat with family and friends in Heaven- a beautiful place where you are needle free! I love you more than anything! xoxoxoxoxox Lynora
