Aunt Buddy, I miss you so much. I never wanted to disappoint you,but I have. After giving to others throughout your life,how can they just forget. I hope your happy with the finished grave stone I had designed. It really is beautiful and matches Uncle Ronnie"s.

Aunt Bud, I'm feeling really down. Wish you were here to give me your opinions and advice. Or just to hang around with. We had the most fun in Atlantic City, shopping and sitting in the yard. Think of you often. Still unsure about the future. Everything depends on Big Jimmy's final tests. Hope your with Lil Jimmy. I spoke to Mike again at the funeral home. I just can't seem to bring myself to complete it. Any way, missing you, love you , your favorite person , Judy

Aunt Bud, hard to believe your gone already a year on June 29th 2014. As promised I will do what I said and hopefully within the next 2 weeks. Hope your not mad that I never went back to 92.i will however one day. A lot has happened these past few months, including Big Jimmy losing his job of 24+ years and we were forced to move; hence the picture I'm sending you. Picked out a small tattoo, but I think I want something bigger. Unfortunately Big Jimmy's battle with cancer isn't promising. Still don't know what I'll do. I remember you always telling me not to worry as I'd always be able to live with you. Ironic? Any way, I'm starting to cry, so let me tell you as I always did when you were alive, I love you. Judy

Aunt Bud, another hectic week. Big Jimmy went for ambulatory surgery and got admitted. He was discharged home yesterday afternoon. He cannot use his left arm/ hand for anything. They say he needs 6-8 months of physical therapy. Meanwhile things are quiet. My first time ever living off of Vineyard. Missing you more as each sunny day appears. My promise to you will be kept in June and I'll even send you pictures via this site. Pray you are at peace & happy. Your favorite niece Judy

Aunt Bud! Enough is enough already ! Getting ready to move and I don't know anyone there. But again I see no one here any way. Putting the painting you gave me to be reframed and Aunt Ethel's rocking chair has to be sent out to be done, to it's original look. The arms and spindles are so loose. Other than that just waiting for Joseph to come see us. I never and I know you didn't ever think I could be so " low profile" you know rarely out/ seen and for whatever reason, those close to me in location and relation I never hear from. I do talk to Ruthie and Tommy. As well as Margaret and family . So with that being said, I'm saying good night, love you, Judy

Aunt Bud, I am laughing right now because being we have to move in 3 weeks. I am going through so much! And guess what? A picture 8x 10 of Joan Blondell. Written: to Ninnie, where are you? You are missed. ( signed) Love Joan Blondell. Of course I'm keeping it! Missing you, love you, Judy

Aunt Bud, I went to cross county today with Big Jimmy and got so upset. So many reminders of all the times we went and how you would spend so much time in the puppy store. ( no longer there) And of course the stores and sitting on the bench just watching people. Okay, also commenting . Odd to be filled with so much happiness and yet inside you can actually feel your heart racing and do anything from " giving in". . Well, missing you so much . You were more than my Aunt, you were my friend, companion, partner in everything. Must be careful what I write here as it is scrutinized and many times not put on,esp. with Lil Jimmy.. It wasn't fun anymore Aunt Bud.I have to go, missing you, love you. Judy

Aunt Bud, how do you like this ! Can you believe that me , of all people have no place to live! Talk about " those people" & " oh come on!. Laughing a little just thinking of how you would react to all of this. You would be knocking more than on wood and loudly saying the names of the trinity people( Jesus, Mary & Joseph) .Now I am laughing more because I can picture you and how you would be and for a little woman you had a big mouth. Really miss you, esp. Times like this and with the rather getting nicer. Always gave you credit when weather permitting out you would go , gone for hours, buses and cabs to every where. And of course your relationship with Macys. It would cost 3 x the amount of your bill just to get there. And one thing you did that drove me crazy was you would see an item pick it up walk around the stores for hours and then just as we were getting on line to pay you would change your mind and say" next time" . I know you were mortified when you seen me sitting and taking to the mannequins! " oh Judy" you would say and depending on your mood either laugh or get furious with me . The other thing you were known for, by me and LilJimy was when we would get seated at a place to eat, strt to be waited on and you would abruptly stand up get your coat and start to leave! I remember well and I quote " I read these people " right away and out we would go. I've often wondered what you meant when you said " read" these / those people. I know you weren't psychic and thre were no obvious writing on them other then a name tag. So what exactly were you " reading" and how, why and what if anything did they say? You were so funny and didn't even realize it. Another great one was " what do you mean!!!!" Loud and directed at a peron who could not or would not give you an answer . So many times, so much fun, regret I ever took it for granted. Never imagined you not in my life. I miss packing your lunch and individually wrapping each item and labeling it of course and almost always with a card. You would open that bag and react as if it were a three course meal from a elegant restaurant . Even the individual salt/ pepper / condiments ect. And let's not forget the " silverware" was included as well. I really mis doing that and spending time with you either in the house or the yard. There are a lot of things I will tell you about, but not right now. " Rosemeister"

Aunt Bud, sic( spelling incorrect) meant to say " side" and "is". One of the funniest things you ever did and not on purpose was when I took Joseph for a photo shoot, try outs for commercials and when we left you turned and said" I got your purse" laughing hysterically I said " purse? I didn't bring one" . Then we both realized you picked up and walked out with another woman's pocketbook! You were mortified , I laughed all the way home! Many other times we messed up and laughed about them. I will write about another incident next time I touch base with you. Miss you. Judy

Guess who came by? Craig. We talked and I cried , remembering the 3 of us together ( and Kip) in the yard, gardening, fixing the windows, new doors being put up, and painting the wall on the Sid of the house and around the "rock" garden. Have to tell you that your " lagrangia? Tree/ plant is about 10 by 10feet wide! What I'll miss isc your lit up yard, when Lil Jimmy put all those colored lifts in , no offense but it looked like a disco . And the motion spot light , lit up your yard and each yard on either side as well as the houses behind yours! I know you adored Craig, and he you. He is doing okay, maybe what happened did make a difference in someone else's life. I hope so. But you were my reason for getting up & going up the street. Miss you more as each day passes and pray you know the truth. Hey Aunt Bud, " knock wood" & " those people" ; " oh Judy! " and in your loudest voice and you could be loud calling " Jimmy repeatedly, about 6 times , meanwhile he had answered you and I laughed quietly or went out to the yard. The best was your patio set being blown into the people in the far back of your house during a horrific storm! You were so funny and didn't even realize it. I miss you coming to dinner @ my place. You teaching me ( ! ) the buses to take all over the place. Haven't been on a bus since then. And I think , no I know I heard you curse, once, what a shock! Where did you hear that kind of talk? Time for me to " get a move on" as you would say. Touch base soon. Love you , my Rosemeister. Judy( favorite niece)
Represents me , you and Lil Jimmy. Miss you both .

Miss you so much. Think about you often. Pray some day I will get the answers to the questions that haunt me , especially in regard to what started it all. (Who?)Have not been to 92, but am thinking of getting a tattoo in your memory, a Rose Bud of course! I pray you are at peace and with your family and hope you catch a glimpse of Lil Jimmy , although I never told you he might be. Thanks Aunt Bud
Your little family.

Aunt Bud, I am trying to keep it together , you know what I mean I. Said it to you so many times! But there are times that the anger, hurt, regrets and not knowing get the best of me. I miss you so much , you were my reason for getting up everyday and kept me busy , always had fun. You were one of a kind and I miss you so much. I pray(although I am mad @ God) that you are at peace and if there is a heaven you are there playing pinocle(?) with all your sisters and brothers and maybe , just maybe you will catch a glimpse of my son . All my love Judy

Aunt Bud , first Christmas without you and although it snowed and is white , it feels dreary and dark both day and night . Last year was hard , but at least you were here this time your gone and And I shed a tear, remembering the lights Little Jimmy put on the fence and the wreath on your door , that's something I know I'll see never more.Pray you are at peace , in heaven and with Little Jimmy just like before. Thanks for so many years of great memories and for being so good. I think of you every day and still wonder why , there was that phone call and you had to die!

No heat no lights, nothing to do.I slept in your bed like I use to.There till the morning I stayed and no I was't afraid.the stairs were my only concern,fall down them once you really learn.Rocking in your chair another thing I do and it reminds me so much of you. Thanks for the memories
