My beautiful big sister, I am still having a hard time trying to understand all of this. When you called me on Dec 17 and said you had brain tumors stage 4 cancer i didn't believe it. Here a little over 3 months later you are gone. It's not right, you always would say Jo I gonna be here for a long time, I'm gonna live to be 100. I miss you, I want you back. I want to talk to you. We talked everyday. I miss your voice our long talks about the memories we had and shared. I know you loved me more then anything, you always told me just how important I was to you and that I was your best friend. I love you so much and it hurts it really does. I look at our pictures when we were young and I see the bond the 2 of us had growing up. I wasn't ready tk lose you but I also couldn't be selfish and seeing and hearing the pain you were in broke my heart. So I knew I had to let you go. I wish I could call you right now and talk to you instead of gathering pictures of you for your celebration. You have been cheated life . You were always strong and stubborn but I of all people understand and know why you were they way you were. You will be carried in my heart forever. I hope you are pain free and enjoying your after life with grandmom and daddy. I do hope that 1 day we will be together again. I will do my best to watch over your children and grandchildren . I know you hated seeing me down and crying and would say its ok Jo I'm not going anywhere I promise, we'll sis that's 1 promise you weren't able to keep , but I'm not mad at you. I am happy you were my big sister and you always had my back . You are now my angel and I know you are looking down on me and this family . So do what you have to to keep us safe. Thank you for being there for me. I love you so very much.

Mom it´s so hard believing that you are no longer with us. I never imagined you not being here much less you being gone this soon. I miss you so very much. I know you are with Pop-pop . I know you are watching over all of us. I love you forever and always.

Dee was an honorable woman who cared deeply about her family and friends. She was always willing to help out, make a meal, give a ride, or just sit a chat. She was stubborn as the day is long, but had a heart the size of New Jersey! I miss her so much!

I meet Donna when I was in the Marine Corps in 1971, she was a cutie, sorry to hear about her passing, may God bless her and welcome her Home, loves and hugs to all
