Mom, I miss you so much. You were my best friend. When I was sad, you always helped me through it. When something exciting happened I couldn't wait to stop by or call you on the phone. I still start to call you and realize I can't. You were so strong and positive through your illness, I admired you so much. You looked so beautiful for Joey's wedding and at the captains dinner on the cruise.I'm having a very hard time Mom, I just love and miss you so much.You always made everything better. I hope you and Dad are watching over all of us. Christmas just won't be the same without you. I love you--Susan

Nan i miss you so much. When i am trying to do something constructive there are funny things that pop up in my head and i think of you, and how you would have gotten a laugh out of the situation. When i see daisys i think of you, when i see a butterfly i think of you,when i see penguins i also think of you, when i see a donation box for breast cancer or lung cancer i glady put money in it and think of you. When i meet a new person who is shy i strike up a better conversation because of you. Because of you i am greatful and hold a huge piece of you in my heart that will never leave. I love you so much. Thankyou for all the times we have spent together and thankyou for always having faith in me and telling me how great i am. Your positive affrimations always gave me better hope. I hope you found the most beautiful pair of wings next to the big guy. I hope he made them extra special for an angel like yourself and gave you great height and width because up there im sure you will serve him greatly. Im sure he has you busy running around doing good things that you used to do down here. We miss you terribly but i will see you again, i know this.

I really wish Lil was here today. At her funeral, it was so hard.

Kathy, Susan, Jackie and Dana, I hope you heal from this pain from losing your mother.

Love,

My sincere sympathy to the family of Lillian Owens Flaherty. She will be remembered very especially in my prayers.

Lillian was part of a special group of young people at SFX in Fairmount way back in the 40's. I always remember her as having a smile and a cheerful disposition even back then.

May she rest in peace!

I miss my Aunt Lil so much. I can remember when I would call her when I was younger and we would talk for about an hour. She was always so loving and caring. I know that everyone will miss her so much. I don't remember Uncle Bill so much, but I know she is happy to see him again. Jackie said to my Mom " Look out Dad, your peace is over." When my Mom told me, I laughed. We will never forget you.

Love,

Amanda

To the finest sister anyone could ever have. We will all miss you so much! We loved you in life and that love will never go away even though you have risen to your eternal life. Give our regards to Bill, Mom, Dad, et al., and put in a good word for us with the BIG GUY! See you up there one day (we hope).

Love,

All of the Rock Family
