Dear Mom, where do I start with the memories...the memories of you staying up late sewing Patty's dance costumes and staying up late and sewing deep purple for my swim club. And how on earth can I forget the memory of the danish dessert going all over the fridge in the trailer and trying to hide it from Dad. Boy, did he, and you, ever love Pedro's Pad! Those trips were the BEST! Who are we gonna check with when we can't figure out who's who in all those unmarked photos? There are so many wonderful memories that I'll never forget. I love you mom and I'll miss you. Love MJ

You were the best grandma! I'll always remember the summers I spent with you at Spanish Ranch and in Bieber. You got me a dozen cans of black olives to eat that summer. You taught me the finer points of baking cookies (and eating the dough) and Kaspers Hot Dogs. I had so much fun with you and I will always cherish the times we spent together. I know you are watching over all of us and remember how much we love you.

Our Auntie Jean, you will always have a special place in our hearts. You are a special lady and always have been. Thanks for the memories and for being an extension of my own mother these past years. We miss her and will miss you too, but we know that you are together again as you should be. Love Carol & Cal

Bless your beautiful heart and soul Auntie Jean. Thank you for being my precious Aunt and instilling in me your philosophy of life that "every day is a gift". I think of that every day; hence, I think of you every day. And, most of all, thanks for staying around for 16 years after Mother's passing and keeping our Mother (your dear Razie) alive with all of your twin quirkinesses. We love you both.

Love, Lillian and Bob
