This is such a difficult holiday weekend because the memory is so difficult to reconcile, so we try to put that aside and focus only on the beautiful little girl who was our granddaughter. We never stop thinking about you, Kylie Beth, our horse and dog loving little one always excited about new adventures, especially if they involved a dog or a horse. We love you so very much

Our dear angel, Kylie. Today you are 21 years old....that hardly seems possible. 21 is a magical number ... hope you are having a special celebration with your Mom, our dear Holly. I gave Miss Edie a hug for you ... she is now 31 years old. Wish you were here to brush her and give her some carrots.
We love and miss you so much, you are in our hearts with us every day. Love Grandma and PopPop.

Today is one of the saddest days in history. We remember all the people that died on 9-11 and their families.
Sadder still because one year ago today we said goodbye to you and mommy. I miss your hugs and kisses always so generous, I miss your phone calls about everything, I miss “I love you grandma”, I miss that great smile,
I miss spooning in the morning cuddling & giggling , I miss the little voice from your bedroom in the middle of the night when you slept over. I miss blow drying your hair, I miss making you special eggs, I miss your laughter, I could write volumes of what I miss they are treasured memories now and I go to that “treasure store” often. I love you and miss you every minute of every day.
Love, Grandma

Dear Tommy,Ricky and Flo-
We know that this last year has been a very tough one for all...we think about you and pray for you everyday!

Just Remember:
"If you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know
Will melt away
And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So When you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you........."

Love Always-Rhonda,Mike,Kimberly and Mikey

Missing you more and more everyday. We love you so much, Denise
