Dee, I wish I was there to help you somehow. I have always had a warm spot in my heart for your mom. She would give me the warmest hugs! She always could make me laugh as well. I remember some car rides with your mom when you and I were together and she was such an easy person to talk to, didn't judge and could always see a bright side to any sadness. She loves you so much...her love for you is so strong that it surpasses any earthly boundaries! I would just melt sometimes inside watching how she would look at you with such motherly love! You are in my prayers my friend.

Dee and family--So many great memories of your mom-she was like my second mom growing up. Trips to the roller rink, laughing all the way, meals around the table with a big pot of macaroni, great birthday parties, always had a listening ear even if I thought they were silly problems...I will truly miss her and I know she is looking down from heaven and laughing with my mom and dad!
I love you all so much!

Donna, you will truly be missed by many. May God cradle you in his arms now and let you rest in peace, now and forever.

Dee and family- I remember seeing your mother like it was yesterday! Always smiling, always only the nicest to me and our odd clan of friends. And how she endured those Tivoli songs over and over that one summer I'll never know. She is in a better place now alongside both my parents-perhaps sharing stories about me too! Please let me know if I can do anything at all for you or you need a place to escape in a few days.

To the best friend a girl could ever ask for. I love you with all my heart, and I'm sorry I couldn't be there to read the bible, laugh and share your last months. I will see you again someday thanks to you for bringing GOD into my life, and helping me to ask him for forgivness for the sins I had committed in my past. I'm not perfect, but I try real hard. With GOD in my life and doing the best I can to live the way he wants me to live I feel confident that we will be reunited again one day. Not a moment goes by that I don't think about you, and all of the wonderful memories that I have. No one can take that away from me. GOD must have needed a very special angel, because you definately fit the bill. I LOVE you sis, and miss you dearly, Linda
