Good Morning Mom. Happy Mothers Day from Mika and I. I Love and Miss You Very Much. This is your Month, with Mothers Day and your Birthday on the 17th. Its a really hard month for us. I wish I could hug you and give you your gifts, or take you out to dinner tonight. Well Relax and take it easy anyway, you deserve it. You raised 2 fine children for so many years. If that task wasn't worth a day on the calander than I don't know what is.:)
We love and miss you. You are always in my thoughts. I'll talk to you next week on your Birthday...Say hello to the Family.

To my dearest Sista, I think about you daily. I stop by the cemetary as often as possible. It's very hard living life without you. We will meet in heaven again some day...until that time say hello to Mom and Dad...I miss you all!!!

Terry, I still find it hard to understand why things are the way they are. As I read the thoughts of your husband and children there is only one thing I do understand, that you are loved so much by everyone.
I know we will never understand the beauty of where you are now in this life. But your memory for us here will live on through your family and friends. Keep smiling down on all of us till the day that we can all be together again.
We love and miss you very much.

Hi Terry, just wanted you to know that you are missed so much,I can still hear your laughter I can still remember all our long chats. I miss not having your wise words and the way you always found a solution to every problem. Now here we are all confused and disoriented without you. Its seems everything fell apart...But I am proud to share with you that your beautiful grandson Brian is doing great and is growing so fast and healthy! You would be so proud. He is so smart and has a big sweet heart. He cries for you often and I never find the right words to console him because there are no words to express when you know you should still be here...My mom always says a prayer for you, she misses your fun spirit, you know how my mom likes to have fun like you did. I still like to imagine you are in Vegas or Atlantic City having fun and will come back one day. Frank was just here and he misses you too. Well its a sad day for all of us and I just hope you can help us from above by keeping us safe! Thank you

I still can't believe it's been 2 years.... To this days I still don't want to believe that your gone... I will still never understand how God could take someone that means so much to to everyone so soon. No one is ever ready to lose the ones they love but if only I would have been allowed just a little bit more time.... I will forever cherish the memories I have of you.... I know I look so crazy right now sitting on the bus on my way back to school tears pouring.... I wish you could have been there to see me graduate or see me off on my first day of college... I know your watching from up above proud but I wish you could physically be here to see.... There's not a day tha goes by that I don't think of how much I miss you..... I LOVE YOU & MISS YOU SO MUCH Mam'ma !!

Hey mom, it's been a while, but I wanted to let you know that Brian, Marcy and I visited the grave site recently. Brian cried for a while and he misses you so much as we all do. Like Scott said, there is not a day that does not go by that we do not think about you or think about something you have told us when we were younger. Plus, the grave site and stone look great. We know you are up there looking down upon us and taking good care of us with the other angels. :) We miss you and love you always......

Good Morning Mom. It's now been 2 years, since they took you from us. I miss you so much. No day goes by without me thinking of you or needing you for something. These have been 2 of the hardest years of my life, so far.
Oh yeah, Dad said, "How could you leave him out here, confused, with all these crazy people?"(lol) Jason has had a rough 2 years too, but you know him. Jason has his own methods of handling everything. :)
I'm sorry I have not been to visit. The schedule is rough at New Montifiore. I will be there to see you soon, though. I saw pictures of your Monument. Dad did a good job. I think you will like it. We all miss you and love you very much. I will be there to see you soon.

Theresa, I will always remember your beautiful smile, your contagius laugh and your great sense of humor. You had a personality that could emanate the sky. I will always remember with great joy how much fun we had in New York when we celebrated our birthdays, Bob's birthday in Atlantic City, Erica's barbeques and just laughing together. You will certainly be missed.

...Where do you begin when you talk about moms...I remember her rushing out in her night-gown and driving my brother and I in our big green station wagon to camp. She was the best score keeper for all our little league baseball games! (next to the best coach, our dad). I remember all the long conversations with her and my wife around the kitchen table and her good advice. Also, her ways of planning family gatherings and vacations without hesitation. She truly enjoyed giving to others and her generosity will always be remembered.
I will miss you mom because you loved and took care of us so intuitively the way only a mother can. I love you and thank you for the beautiful moments we shared.
Love,
your son

Dear Jason and family,
I am terribly sorry to hear about the recent loss of your mom. She was a wonderful woman and I know that she will be truly missed. I will always remember her warm hospitality, especially after long hard days of baseball practice. Every time I came over to the house, she always made certain that we were comfortable and well fed. It is an honor for me to say that I used to sit down at her kitchen table. My heart goes out to all of you at this time. You are in my thoughts and prayers. May God bless you. Please feel free to let me know if there is anything I can do for you guys.
Talk to you soon.
