When I drive down 6th st, which is not often, I always check 752 to see if Gracie is in--if so, I like to drop in and see her. Last time I was riding past, I saw a SOLD sign on the house and the front door was closed. I was afraid something had happened to her and I see I was right.

Gracie was my last solid link to the old days when I was a kid. I always felt that she would be there--the only person from the olden days left in the neighborhood. Can't believe she's not going to be there any more. I wish I had known she passed--I would have come to see her and the family.

Miss you, Grace! Miss our talks, catching up on the the latest news, laughing about when we were kids--or at least I was. Remeber when Tommy fell through the kitchen ceiling? When Georgie described his ideal marriage as when he would have potatoes and eggs all over his house? When I gave Marie a really bad home perm but you pretended it looked fine?

That's what I remember. You are the best. Say hi to my mom and dad for me.

May 16, 2009

Mom,

Last night Peggy and the family had a suprise retirement at Galdo's. If I would have know,I would have taken your picture with me as we all asked where Grace was when we took a family picture
with the family who came to be part of the celebration. I was very suprise and had no idea anything was planned. You were in our minds the whole evening and want you to know that I felt you on my shoulder with that smile.
We Love you Mom and miss you dearly.

Thomas,Peggy,Jennifer,Matthew,Jessica,
Chris,Fred,Christian,and Kaylyn Grace.

May 14, 2009

Mom-Mom,
Missing you more and more each day. Wishing you were here for the next couple weeks! Love You.
Love Always, Jessica

May 10, 2009

We little knew that morning that
God was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly
In death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
you did not go alone;
for part of us went with you,
the day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories,
your love is still our guide,
and though we cannot see you,
you are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken
and nothing seems the same,
but as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.

May 8, 2009

Dear Mom,

Hope you have a Happy Mother's Day. Our day will never be the same without you.
Love you,

Hi Mom-Mom,

So tonight really got me thinking about the holidays and how hard it's going to be without you here. I spoke with Carrie about some funny things tonight and all of a sudden our conversation turned to you. The thought of you not sitting at Uncle Mark's on Thursday makes me sick. This all still seems like a nightmare and we just haven't woke up. As much as I love the holidays I hate the fact that your not here with all of us, everyone in this family seemed so much happier when you were in our lifes. Thank God for the most part that majority of us still all talk. As much as everyone at one point or another someone gets on someone elses nerves, I must say im thankful to have family I can fall back on, that I can pick up a phone and call when I need them to talk to. It's crazy how much you have impacted my mom's life, everyday something that she says some how comes back to you..she loves the saying "like mom-mom always said if you can't go somewhere and be happy then stay home," or she will say something and then say Tom ya know your mother always said that didn't she. Shew I know you will never be forgotten. I hope you know how much we all miss you and would do anything to have you back with us because this feeling is the worst. I Love you today, tomorrow and always. Night xOxO!

Hi Mom,

The Phillies won the World Series on Wednesday, October 29th, 2008. I know you would have been happy for them. I really miss you alot.
Well it is getting close to my retirement and was hoping you would have been with me that day.
I know you will be on my shoulder with that smile and would be proud.
I Love You.

Hey Gram,

It's been awhile since I've written anything and today I just feel like I have to. You've been on my mind a lot lately. I miss you so much - everyone does - and I love you and I would give anything to be able to tell you that in person.


Love,
Kristen

September 11, 2008

Hi Mom-Mom, today I woke up and the first thing I thought about was you. Some days more then others im reminded how much of life you loved, and there are little things throughout the day that remind me of you. Next Tuesday I start school, I finally decided something to do with my life. You know how happy my parents are. The shore was very nice both weeks were gorgeous weather but of course it wasn't the same because you weren't with us. Everyone had something to say about you and a funny laugh to go along with it from our many trips to the shore. It doesn't seem to get easier without you here, people say it takes time but i don't think any of the time will ever ease all the pain. We miss you so much! Lots of Love always and forever.

Well Mom-mom 7 months have gonna by and not a day goes by that I don't think about you. Mommy,Daddy,Kaylyn,Jessie,and the boys are down Wildwood and let me tell you this vacation is not the same. The first thing I said when we checked in is mom-mom really loved sitting on that deck doing her puzzles. I miss you so much mom-mom. Kaylyn is getting bigger and bigger every day you would be so proud of her. I love you mom-mom.

July 23, 2008

GRACIE,
I MISS YOU SO VERY MUCH!
I THINK ABOUT YOU ALL THE TIME.
PLEASE WATCH OVER US ALL
I LOVE YOU.....

July 9, 2008

I need someone to talk to and I look at your picture every day and talk to you but all I see is that pretty happy face ....
I Love you and Miss you so much....

Jennifer Mayo

May 15, 2008

Mom-Mom, I miss you so much words can not even describe it. I wish you could see how big Kaylyn is getting and how active I know you see her but not in the way I would like for you to see her. I can not believe you are 4 months already. I love you and miss you so much

Happy Mother's Day.I miss you alot hope you are watching down on us. Love you

May 11, 2008

Mom, You were the best mom ever!

May 11, 2008

Well Mom-Mom today is Mothers Day, even tho its early a.m. and I am about to go to sleep then wake up and come see you. I wanted to write to you incase i wasn't on the rest of the day tomorrow. It's so weird not going to Louie's to get you a hair gift certificate and I was in Hallmark the other day picking out cards for Mommy and wanted to pick one up for you, but I remembered I wasn't going to be able to give it to you and trust me it broke my heart. These holidays stink when you don't have the ones you love around anymore. I often think about you and wait for the phone to ring during the day and for you to ask if mommy's home and if she is if she isn't busy that you would talk to her. I would always tell you she wasn't busy just because I knew she always wanted to talk to you. It was great to have a grandmom that I could be so close with, I miss our conversations terribly! Well I just wanted to wish you a Happy Mothers Day and I wish this wasn't the way it has to be done. I Love You Alot and can't wait to see you again. Miss You More and More each day.
Love Always,
Jessica xoxo

Hi Mom-Mom, it's already been three long months without you. Nothing seems to be getting easier, everyday something reminds me of you. Its amazing how one day you have the greatest person with you and the next there gone. Why does this happen? If only someone knew the answer. Everyone misses you in there only special way. Kaylyn misses you too, she goes to the wedding picture from Carries and points to you it was very freaky the first time she did it, but how lucky she was to have met you before God wanted you. It makes me wonder why God wanted you so soon, why he couldn't let us have you for alittle longer. Life really stinks right now without you and I hope eventually it gets easier. I Love You Forever & Always.

March 3, 2008

When does it get easier, these two months have been the worst missing you. Hope your okay up there, love you so much xoxo.

March 1, 2008

It's almost two months when does it get any better miss you alot hope you are resting and are happy.

February 17, 2008

It's supposed to get easier, right? Isn't that what people say? It's been almost 6 weeks now and I can tell you it has gotten nothing but harder. I miss you more each day. I want nothing more than to talk to you and to know that I can hear your voice again. To know that that can't happen is so painful. I love you with my whole heart and I hope you know that. Missing you so much. . .

February 14, 2008

Happy Valentine's Day!

Jessica

February 6, 2008

Well Mom-Mom it's been a month already and it feels honestly like forever. Each day something reminds me of you. You never realize how much someone has touched your life until there gone. Being at family things just feels empty without seeing you there. We all miss you terribly and I hope some day this tends to get easier. Miss you lots and think about you often.

MARK

February 6, 2008

MOM:
IT HAS BEEN ONE MONTH SINCE YOU HAVE LEFT US. THERE IS NOT A SECOND THAT GOES BY THAT YOU ARE NOT ON MY MIND. YOU CAN NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. YOU ARE ALWAYS IN MY HEART AND FOREVER ON MY MIND. REST PEACEFUL.

January 17, 2008

Mom-Mom it's two weeks already that you left us and it feels like forever. Everything I seem to do reminds me some how of you. Matthew and Courtney set a date for the wedding and it really sucks knowing you won't be there, how happy he was to tell you he got engaged. I know all I could do is wish that you were still here but if anything in this world could bring you back it would have already been done. I hope somehow this gets alittle easier but who knows when. You really left a huge opening in this family that noone can fill. Well until later, I Love You Always and Miss You Terribly!

Maryann Marsella

January 15, 2008

To my brother-in law Mark,

I was reading this today and I could not help but think of Grace. What a wonderful woman she was and always will be. I thought that this was befitting such a beautiful person.
Your Mother is always with you!

She's the whisper of the leaves as you walk down the street,

She's the smell of certain foods you remember, flowers you pick and perfume that she wore.

She's the cool hand on your brow when you're not feeling well.

She's your breath in the air on a Cold winter's day.

She is the sound of the rain that lulls you to sleep, the colors of a rainbow.

She is Christmas morning.

Your Mother lives inside your laughter. And she's crystallize d in every tear drop.
A mother shows every emotion.......... Happiness, sadness, fear, jealousy, love, hate, anger, helplessness, excitement, joy, sorrow.....and all the while, hoping and praying you will only know the Good feelings in life.

She's the place you came from, your first home, and she's the map you follow with every step you take.

She's your first love, your first friend, even your first enemy, but nothing on earth can separate you.

Not time, not space.......not even death.

May she rest in peace and may you find comfort in knowing what a wonderful legacy she left...A beautiful family.
Maryann

January 11, 2008

Mom,
You were a wonderful women and I will carry the precious memories of you in my heart forever. You taught me so many lessons about love and about life. I miss you more with each passing day. Thank you for your love and for being a part of my life. You are in my thoughts and prayers always. Please pray for us and watch over us.
Love You and Miss You,

Mom-Mom,

Well I honestly don't know where to even begin. You were the back bone to this family and noone can replace that. You never treated anyone differently in your eyes everyone was equal. There are so many good things I have learned from you that I will cherish with me for the rest of my life. I am thankful that I got to spend as much time as I did with you. There are so many stories that I have heard over the past couple days that have left an impact on my life. You were one of a kind, you had a heart of gold and like daddy says you would give anyone the shirt off your back. You would be so happy right now with the family all together which makes it more sad knowing that is what you loved the most. As hard as this is to say you are in a better place now, your going to live the life up there with Pop-Pop, Poppy, my Pop and everyone else. Each of your grandchildren got to share a special bond with you and each of us will never forget what we had with you. Not many people are granted a Mom-Mom as special as you were to us. I have now lost the two most important people in my life. After my Pop died I knew I had you to depend on now I have noone to turn to, my heart is missing a special piece that can never be replaced. I miss you a ton and can't wait till we meet again. Love Always.

Jake and Connie Kennedy

Cherish all of the memories, they will always be in your heart.

Mom-Mom,
I don't even know where to begin. I can't believe this is happening it feels like a dream. We were just with you a half hour before all this happened.Kaylyn was playing with your phone and purse you gave her cake cut up in little squares. I am so glad that you were able to spend some time with Kaylyn. I will promise when she is alittle bit older to tell her all about you. I am so happy to have had you as a mom-mom. I could go on and on about you but I don't think there is enough room on here to do that.So just rest now and say hi to pop-pop and my grandpop warren for me. I love you so much and I will miss you always. Tell we meet again.

Natalie Angelo

January 4, 2008

You were a wonderful woman. The best testament to you is to look at your family. They are loving and caring and that is because of the mother they had. You always had a smile on your face and always a kind word to say. I will miss seeing you. Love Natalie

Gram,

There are no words for me to express how much I love you and how much I will miss you. I am so lucky to have had you in my life for the past 30 years. I am so fortunate to have spent the time with you that I did. I am so grateful that you were at my wedding. I wish I had just a little bit more time with you, to sit with you and have a cup of tea, to hold your hand and kiss your cheek and tell you that I love you. Although you are gone, you will never, ever be forgotten.

Angela Oliver

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Paula and Fred Welsh
