Hi Nan,

I hope you had a Happy Birthday with your daughters, son-in-laws, husbands, parents, brothers and sisters etc. I am happy that you are with your family but sad that you are not here. I know that we will meet again sometime, hopefully not soon though. I'd like to live a nice long life like you did.

I just want to let you know that you are always in my thoughts and you are missed very much.

For anyone who reads the guest book, there is a beautiful Christmas song called "Someone is Missing at Christmas" that is such a tear jerker you can not listen to the whole song without thinking about everyone who has died without crying. The first time I heard it I was going through family pictures and at that time I was looking at a picture of Nanny and Ben. I know you all miss Nanny too and will think of her when you hear it.

So long for now, Nan. I love you.

Lisa

I had a dream last night, Nanny, and it was about you so I thought I'd write it down before I have the chance to forget any of it.

In my dream I was at a wedding and my Meme's side of the family was there. It was October 7th in my dream, and I recall pondering the significance of that date, but not knowing why. In my dream I knew that you would not be living much longer, but did not want to tell you that. I did, however, get to tell you that I love you, and say goodbye. Two things I did not get to do just before you died.

I saw something on TV when I was a little kid that said sometimes those who have 'gone on' come back and contact us when we're dreaming. That movie The Sixth Sense said something similar about speaking to people when asleep. I don't know if you visited me because you knew that I really, really needed to see you, or if it was coincidence, but I know what I believe. You looked really beautiful at the wedding, by the way. All dressed up and so happy.

So, to my great-granmdmother, who appears so real and so alive in my dreams and in my memories,

I love you.

And goodbye.

But only until I see you again, right Nan?

thank you for visiting me.

Hi Nan,

I hope you had a nice Christmas. We miss you very much. Joey and Jackie went to visit you for Christmas. Uncle Michael is doing fine. Him and Uncle Joey were with us on Christmas Eve. He gave me a picture of you and Vanessa, so I could hang it in her room. Try not to worry to much about him, he is doing fine. But I'm sure you know that already. I love and miss you always. Please watch over us and pray for us.

Love Joanne

Dearest Nanny,

How greatly you will be missed. I love you so much. You always made me smile and laugh when you were around. I love it when I talked to Lisa and she would always tell me funny stories about you doing silly things. Nanny, you will be missed so much by so many. I love you. You will always be in my heart!

Nanny,

Your services and flowers were beautiful, but they do not compare to the beauty of you and your heart. Even with so many of us, you made each of us feel special and loved. I still cannot quite believe that I will never again go to a diner with you, or join you at Bingo at the casino, or go with my mom or Meme & Pepe to pick you up in Philly and bring you to CT for a visit.

For 88 years you were an angel on earth, looking over us all. Now you can continue to watch over us as an angel in Heaven.

Thank you for being wonderful.

Love,

Your great-grandaughter Nicole from Connecticut.

Hi Nan, It's me Joanne (Moresi). I just wanted to say thank you for giving me the opportunity to know such a beautiful person inside and out. You are truly one in a million. I've been with Joey seven years and you always treated me like one of your own grandchildren. Thank you for making him the person that he is today (you did a great job). You took care of so many people in your life and for that the world is a better place. Thank you for flying all the way to Jamaica for our Wedding. We have some great stories to tell. I will tell Vanessa all about her great-grandmother and what a wonderful person she was. She has the best guarding angel in the world. I will talk to you soon.

SO LONG HUN, I LOVE YA, BYE

Love always, Joanne

I miss my Nanny very much. I will miss her at my house for Thanksgiving, Easter and our birthday parties. She was always at our house for our parties. She loved us. I wonder how she, my pop pops and mammom Rosie are doing. Hope she and the rest of the family in Heaven are having fun. Love Ben xoxoxoxo

Dear Donna:

I just wanted to stop in to offer my condolences to you and your family. From what I read your family has really lost a great woman. I am sure everyone will miss her a great deal. Just remember that she will be looking down on all of you and she will always be with you in your hearts forever. Everyone should have her legacy in life. You should all be very proud.

Love you

My nanny was a loving great-grandmom. If you asked her for someting she would be happy and willing to give it to you. When you needed her for anything she would be right there for you. I loved to visit her and her dog Tasha. I am very sad she is gone. Even though she is gone, I still know she will be right beside me always. I will miss her at our parties and Christmas dinner, she always liked to come to our house. I love her always and forever.

Whenever someone needed you, you were there. You never questioned anything more than the what you could do for them. This world would truly be a better place if everyone were like you. You will be sadly missed but thought of often. I am sure that every holiday or family gathering will have a "nanny" story to share. Your memory will live on for a long time. Your many granchildren, great-grandchildren and great great-grandchildren will know you, regardless how young they are now. We, the older ones will always keep your memory alive. Rest in peace. Love, your granddaughter-in-law Jo Ann

Nanny you will be greatly missed. You were one of the strongest women that I had ever met in my life and I admired that so much about you. I know that the hardest thing that you had ever had to deal with was losing your 4 daugthers, and now you are all together again. Please tell my mom, Aunt Anna, Aunt Rosie and Aunt Aggie that I love them and miss them very much. I know that you are where you want to be and that is what makes this so much easier to get through. I love you so much and I will miss you greatly.

Love, Donna

Hi Nan, It’s me Angela. Even though I can’t call or come over to say hello I can come online and say hello. Nan tell Grandmom I love her and miss her. Well Nan now you are with your daughters in heaven. Nan don’t worry to much about Uncle Mike he will be very well taken care of. You took care of so many people and now those people and others will take care of Uncle Mike. Nan I’m so sorry I didn’t come up the last couple of days I was sick and didn’t want to make you any worse than what you were. Hey Nan remember the time I took you shopping and that cop was following us and I made you get out of the car with me, so I would get locked up. Well Nan you are and will always be a big part of everyone life. I miss you so very much. I have to get back to work will right again later on today or tomorrow. I love you Nan.
